Transfer news LIVE!

We have hit the halfway point of the January window as the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United prepare to kick their business up a gear. Tottenham have been the busiest team in the Premier League so far, bringing in Timo Werner on loan and signing Radu Dragusin for around £25million, and still want another new midfielder amid reports a bid for Joao Gomes is being lined up.

Arsenal are in the market for a defender, midfielder and forward, and are reportedly ready to battle Chelsea for Sporting centre-back Ousmane Diomande amid interest in Ajax's Jorrel Hato. Attacking targets include Ivan Toney, Santiago Gimenez, Borja Mayoral, Joshua Zirkzee, Dusan Vlahovic. Midfielders of interest include Amadou Onana, and Martin Zubimendi.

Chelsea are prepared to get out the plastic in an attempt to improve upon a miserable season thus far, and are weighing up moves for Newcastle midfielder Bruno Guimaraes, Brighton's Evan Ferguson and could be about to activate the release clause of Palmeiras starlet Estevao Willian - AKA 'Messinho'. Shock loan moves for Karim Benzema and Roberto Firmino have been mooted. Conor Gallagher could be sacrificed to help fund some of this, with Spurs particularly keen. Man Utd are now being linked with Serhou Guirassy. Follow all the latest transfer news, rumours and gossip throughout the January window live below!
