Transfer news LIVE! Arsenal attacks Jorginho amid Caicedo’s attempt. Fernandes is close to a £115m deal with Chelsea; Boro to Tottenham

[ad_1]

Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham are still chasing huge deals with just two days left before the January transfer deadline. Arsenal will not let go of Moises Caicedo after their second bid for the Ecuadorean midfielder, worth around £70m, was rejected by Brighton. A third bid is believed imminent and Jorginho is now being lined up as an understudy!

Chelsea have reopened talks for Enzo Fernandes as they also look to make a breakthrough in midfield. And the Blues are growing confident they can still sign the World Cup winner Argentina before the market closes for business at 11pm BST after a record British bid. Chelsea have also been interested in Everton’s Amadou Onana and Caicedo’s team-mate Alexis McAllister.

Tottenham’s attack on Pedro Boro is in great doubt but they are still in talks to salvage a deal. Meanwhile, they have reportedly made offers for Bayer Leverkusen defender Piero Hincapie and Jude Bellingham’s younger brother Jobe. Tottenham also agreed to pay a fee for young Chelsea striker Jude Sonsop-Bale. Catch up on all the latest transfer news, rumours, gossip and deals as they happen directly below!

The latest transfer news and rumors

Brighton believes Moises Caicedo will stay put – and that’s it.

Despite talk of Arsenal’s third try for the Ecuadorian midfielder, the Gulls are firm in their belief that he will not go.

The Athletic noted that Caicedo is under contract until 2025 with an option for a further 12 months in his deal.

This could be the reason Arsenal turned towards Jorginho…

Brian Gill described Sevilla as “the club of my life” after re-signing with the LaLiga club on loan from Tottenham.

Tottenham confirmed the deal after Arnaud Danjuma was relegated from Villarreal, and Gilles returned to the club he left for £21m plus Eric Lamela in 2021.

He told his Twitch Stream unveiling: “I came here at the age of 9 from Parbati. I was very young and at that time I didn’t have time to study and come back and come back, so I trained once with the team, and after getting permission from the club, I only came in match day.

“For me, Sevilla is the club where I grew up and where I was happy. It is the club of my life.”

Reuters1675116744 – Among the English Premier League defenders

Former Tottenham target Milan Skriniar is heading to Paris Saint-Germain and Inter Milan have identified a slew of potential replacements.

Fabrizio Romano said that Victor Lindelof was the team’s first target, after he was rejected by Lille’s Thiago Gallo.

But Manchester United are said to be not keen on selling their reserve centre-back.

Tuttosport has chosen Japhet Tanganga as one of its shortlists, while according to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Chelsea’s Trevoh Chalobah and West Ham’s Thilo Kehrer are also in the shortlist.

Key Factor in Fernandez Deal PA1675115314

Speaking of selling fees, one of the major factors in Enzo Fernandes’ future is that Benfica will not come close to the full amount of what Chelsea is paying them.

That’s because, as TyCSports highlights, Fernandez’s former River Plate club has a 25 percent sell-out clause in his contract.

For £115m, that’s a whopping £28m for the Argentine club!

How did Tottenham achieve the Boro breakthrough?

Tottenham have agreed a £40m deal to sign Sporting CP Pedro Boro, Standard Sport.

The 23-year-old will fly to London on move deadline day to complete his medical treatment after talks over transaction fees nearly broke down.

Former Tottenham player Marcus Edwards was key to opening the deadlock after the north Londoners agreed to waive part of the sale fee owed to them should Sporting sell their former academy winger.
