Moussa Dembele update Lewis Dunk transfer latest Lampard on Barkley's future

The January transfer window is still open, but Chelsea have only made one signing with Bryan Fiabema becoming the first arrival this month for Frank Lampard’s Blues There are just two weeks left in the January transfer window  and Chelsea is still looking to add to their squad for the second half of the season. Football fans around the world can buy online Premier League Tickets to enjoy its stunning performances.

The Blues are well-placed to qualify for the Champions League again next season, with Frank Lampard’s men currently sitting fourth in the table, five points ahead of Manchester United in fifth and six points behind Leicester City in third.

But with Chelsea now able to sign players this month after having their transfer ban reduced following an appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, Lampard has not ruled out the possibility of adding to his squad.

Several players have been linked with a move to west London, but so far only 16-year-old Norwegian striker Bryan Fiabema has joined, becoming the club’s first January signing.

With a fortnight to go before the deadline, Chelsea could still strengthen this month though, and with a match against Newcastle United in the Premier League today, we take a look at the latest Blues news, below.

Lewis Dunk latest

Brighton & Hove Albion boss Graham Potter insists he is ‘relaxed’ about the transfer rumours surrounding Lewis Dunk and a move to Chelsea.

The Blues have struggled at the back at times this season, and with the transfer ban having been lifted they have been linked with several players this month.

One of those is the 28-year-old, who has been a key part of the Seagulls, firstly to get promotion from the Championship and then to keep them in the Premier League.

Moussa Dembele update

Chelsea is eager to make strides in the January transfer window in regards to improving the quality of their squad and Moussa Dembele is a name that won’t go away.

It doesn’t matter how many times that Lyon denies that Dembele is going to leave France, the rumour mill continues to go into overdrive.

This is especially true because of the fact that Lyon is aiming to be one of the most active teams this month in the transfer market, something which could turn out to be a good thing for Chelsea.

Lyon already has some well-known attackers but they are bidding to bolster their depth if reports are to be believed.

Lampard on Barkley, Loftus-Cheek and more

Frank Lampard touched on a number of issues in his pre-match press conference ahead of the trip to Newcastle.

Among them were Ruben Loftus-Cheek’s comeback and Ross Barkley’s future - with the midfielder linked to West Ham.

Premier League: Jurgen Klopp thinks one Liverpool youngster is almost unstoppable

Klopp has raved about the 21-year-old England international right-back, and the Liverpool boss believes that the youngster can only get better.

The German coach has praised the youngster’s attitude, and he believes that only injuries can stop his progress. You can buy Premier League Tickets from our website, around the world to enjoy its terrific performances.

Klopp told Liverpool’s official website about Alexander-Arnold: “Apart from injuries, I can’t see anything that can stop him because his attitude and his private background is just so good. Passionate yes, very, but calm as well.

“It’s a very, very good basis his family created for him he has a very close relationship to them, which is good. They keep him grounded; I am not sure he needs it, but if he would start flying then I know exactly who would get him back. I don’t have to do that.”

“When you are a talented footballer and you have an outstanding attitude if you love the game as much as he loves the game, and you have the background he has, then it’s pretty likely you will have a proper career.”

Top-quality player

Alexander-Arnold has established himself as a key figure in the Liverpool team under manager Klopp and is pretty much guaranteed a place in the starting lineup. The 21-year-old is very good defensively, and he is stunning when he goes on marauding runs.

The right-back also has a brilliant range of passing, and given his young age, he can only get better and better.

Stats

Alexander-Arnold has made 20 starts and one substitute appearance in the Premier League for Liverpool so far this season, scoring two goals and providing eight assists in the process, according to Whoscored.

The Englishman has also made four starts and one substitute appearance in the Champions League for the Reds so far this campaign, providing one assist in the process, according to who scored.

Manchester United agrees on Fernandes terms, Chelsea handed Olmo blow - Premier League gossip

The latest transfer news and rumours as Premier League clubs attempt to improve the quality of their squads, including rumours about Chelsea and Tottenham

It’s that time of the year when the transfer rumour mill goes into overdrive and this January window is no different. Bruno Fernandes to Manchester United has been one of the big sagas of the window already, with the Red Devils potentially making some progress. Football fans around the world can buy online Premier League Tickets to enjoy its stunning performances.

But it’s not just Manchester United who is looking to make moves when it comes to Premier League recruits. Here is the best of the latest rumours in our Premier League gossip round-up.

United agree personal terms

Manchester United is interested in signing Sporting Lisbon attacking midfielder Bruno Fernandes during the January transfer window and now there appears to have been a development.

The Red Devils remain wary of being used again as a tool to drum up further interest and the asking price of in-demand players United backed down in the summer due to their dislike of stories supposedly planted in the Portuguese media about Fernandes potentially moving to the club.

But Mirror Football reports that the club has come to terms personally with Fernandes but is struggling to match Sporting’s valuation.

This has led to United missing the deadline of 7 am (EST) today to get a deal over the line for Fernandes to be able to feature against Liverpool.

AC Milan to beat Chelsea in transfer battle

AC Milan is set to edge out Chelsea to the signing of Dani Olmo from Juventus.

The likes of Chelsea and Manchester United have been linked with the 21-year-old.

Olmo can play as an attacking midfielder or a winger and has been in high demand this month.

But it’s Milan who looks set to pull off a January transfer window deal The Express states that the Italians are ready to finalise a deal worth £17 million initially, something which could rise to £26m.

Newcastle United is set to finally firm up their long-standing interest in Hull City star Jarrod Bowen, according to The Telegraph.

Bowen has bagged 16 goals in the Championship this season for the Tigers after netting 22 goals in the league last term. Mike Ashley is reportedly ready to back Steve Bruce’s judgment in the transfer window and Bowen is a player the Magpies’ boss knows well from his time at Hull.

Premier League: Solskjaer provides injury update on Rashford ahead of Liverpool clash

Man Utd manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has said that the club will make a late decision on the involvement of Marcus Rashford for the Premier League clash against Liverpool on Sunday.

The England international suffered a knock on his back and knee during his second-half appearance against Wolves in the FA Cup on Wednesday, and he was able to last for only 17 minutes before his substitution. Football fans can purchase Premier League Football Tickets online to enjoy its stunning performances.

Manchester United travel to face Liverpool at Anfield in the Premier League this weekend and will seek to end Jurgen Klopp’s Invincibles bid, but do so with Marcus Rashford having taken a knock in midweek.

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has given an update on Marcus Rashford’s fitness ahead of their weekend clash against Liverpool.

Jurgen Klopp’s team is unbeaten in the Premier League this season and aiming to match Arsenal’s incredible Invincibles feat during the 2003/04 season.

But up next for Klopp’s side is the old rivalry against Man Utd, the only team to have taken points from them in the league this season with a 1-1 draw between the two teams at Old Trafford in October.

Marcus Rashford opened the scoring on that day, before a late equalizer from Adam Lallana. However, United’s striker could be set to miss the trip to Anfield after picking up an injury.

Solskjaer press conference

Speaking in the press conference ahead of the Anfield trip Solskjaer said that Rashford is not ready for the weekend’s game at the moment but he will be offered sufficient time to prove his fitness.

“I cannot tell you now. As I said with Harry Maguire a few weeks ago, of course, we are going to give him the absolute amount of time to find out.

I would probably think that he would not be ready, but let’s see. There are still 48 hours, more than that so let’s see,” he was quoted as saying by the club’s official website.

Rashford has been influential towards Manchester United picking up points against Liverpool in recent Premier League meetings and he has scored three goals in the past four appearances against Jurgen Klopp’s side.

As such his possible absence would prove a blow for the Merseyside trip and Solskjaer may have to rely on Daniel James on the left side of the attack against the Premier League leaders.

Man Utd position in Table

Man Utd is presently five points adrift of fourth-placed Chelsea in the standings but they could find themselves eight points behind the final Champions League spot ahead of the late kick-off at Anfield.

As a result, they have plenty to lose from the contest this weekend and Solskjaer will be hoping that his players can step up to the challenge and register the club’s first away win against Liverpool since January 2016.

The striker was a substitute for the FA Cup third-round replay against Wolves in midweek, but with the scores level at 0-0, he was introduced by Solskjaer.

However, within a matter of minutes, he hurt his back in a challenge and had to be taken off - and Solskjaer revealed that he is not confident about the striker’s fitness for Sunday.

Celtic and Rangers plus Aberdeen, Hearts and Hibs eye signings

We’re past the half-way point of the January transfer window and it could be a busy fortnight for Scottish clubs.

Celtic have already landed Polish striker Patryk Klimala in a £3.5m deal, but their business isn’t over yet as they are close to signing £2m midfielder Ismaila Soro. Football fans from around the world can buy online Europa League Tickets to enjoy its stunning performances.

The Bnei Yehuda man announced he is Parkhead bound but Record Sport exclusively revealed this morning that the Premiership champions are still looking to resolve some issues before the deal is a go.

Rangers have had a quiet start to the window with incomings but there might be a few bodies going in the other direction.

Steven Gerrard has been vocal in his desire to get some of his fringe players off the books and Jamie Murphy, Greg Docherty, Glenn Middleton, and Matt Polster could leave before the end of the month.

The Light Blues will be hoping to keep the likes of Borna Barisic, James Tavernier and Alfredo Morelos at the club, however.

Hibs are looking to strengthen their midfield after Stevie Mallan’s injury, while Daniel Stendel will be hoping to bring in a few fresh faces at Hearts to put his own stamp on the club.

17-year-old Aaron Hickey has also been linked with a shock move to AC Milan.

Aberdeen has landed their two top targets in Dylan McGeouch and Matty Kennedy on a pre-contract but Derek McInnes has hinted more deals could be completed at Pittodrie.

Benkovic transfer warning

Phlip Cocu has warned Leicester City the time is now to do a deal to bring Filip Benkovic to Derby County.

The Dutchman is keen on the former Celtic loan but admits the Rams are running out of time to come to an agreement.

It has to be this week because if not, we don’t have time. We always have more than one target, of course.

Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers revealed last summer he viewed Celtic as the perfect option for Benkovic to continue his development but no deal has been forthcoming.

The Croatia international has been limited to just one senior appearance this season.

Leicester braced for Chilwell exit

Leicester is ‘braced’ for Ben Chilwell to leave the club in the summer as Chelsea target the highly-rated left-back.

The Daily Mail claims that Frank Lampard’s side is willing to wait until the end of the season to make their move for the England international.

And Brendan Rodgers is preparing for life without him as the same report suggests they have lined up a replacement in Southampton’s Ryan Bertrand.

United wait on Bruno

Bruno Fernandes’ move to Manchester United remains up in the air despite the Sporting Lisbon star agreeing on personal terms over a switch to Old Trafford.

The 25-year-old attacking midfielder is still expected to complete a switch to England during the January transfer window but both clubs remained locked in signing talks.

Sporting Lisbon wants £65m for a player but reports in Portugal claim United are offering a £42m upfront with add-ons which could land Lisbon £68m.

But the Primeira Liga big-hitters are insisting on at least £55m upfront which leaves a £13m discrepancy as things currently stand.

Inter Milan make opening Eriksen offer

Inter Milan have reportedly made an opening offer to Spurs for Christian Eriksen.

The midfielder has made it clear he will not be signing a new deal with the Premier League side when his contract expires in the summer.

That means he could leave for free as Tottenham look to agree on a fee with the Italian side for him to leave in January.

McCall explains Rudden deal

Ian McCall insists he isn’t worried about any clauses in Zak Rudden’s Partick Thistle contract.

Thistle paid an undisclosed fee for the former Falkirk loanee and will be hoping he can fire them up the table.

Clubs abroad often have ‘buyback’ clauses in their deals when they let a highly-rated youth player go and it appears like Rangers have done the same.

McCall admits he’s just delighted to land the striker who starred with Falkirk.

It’s a really really exciting signing,

It was a kind of nominal fee with various things to do with Rangers, we’re delighted he’s here and we think our fans will love him.

There are a couple of things in it, yeah. I think it’s a pretty normal thing, particularly the sell-on, I think we’ve got that with [Liam] Lindsay and [Aidan] Fitzpatrick, who went to Norwich City.

I think there is some sort of clause in it, but that doesn’t trigger for 18 months or so. We’re very comfortable with the deal and so are Rangers and so is the boy.

Ultimately, the deal will not matter unless he does really well. So, if he does really well for us, and then it clicks in, then we’ve all been winners.”
