Check some latest updates here:
DONE DEAL: SENEGAL STRIKER MBAYE DIAGNE JOINS WEST BROM ON LOAN
Senegal striker Mbaye Diagne had joined West Bromwich Albion on loan from Galatasaray until the end of the season, the Premier League club said. West Brom are second from bottom and Sam Allardyce has added the forward in an attempt to rescue the side’s season.
“I think he’s a player our supporters will enjoy watching and I hope he can score the goals we need to help us win more games,” West Brom sporting director Luke Dowling said in a club statement.
Done deal: West Ham sign Lingard on loan from Man Utd
West Ham United have announced the signing of Jesse Lingard on loan from Manchester United.
“I’m excited,” Lingard told West Ham TV. “It’s another new chapter in my life. Nothing is guaranteed but I’ve come here to work hard and help the team and bring my experience.

Liverpool eyeing shock move to sign Arsenal flop
Liverpool are considering a shock move to sign Arsenal centre-back Shkodran Mustafi as Jurgen Klopp looks to try and solve his defensive crisis before the January window closes.
Their absence has been felt even harder due to Joel Matip’s sketchy injury record, with the Cameroonian again picking up a knock against Spurs, while stand-in defender Fabinho also has a niggle.
The former Valencia and Everton centre-back, who is well known to countryman Klopp, would be considered a short-term fix. Ideally the manager’s preference would be to sign someone to be part of the squad long-term, but that may not be possible.

Chelsea Really wants Haaland and Alaba
Chelsea has reportedly been scoping Borussia Dortmund star Erling Haaland for quite a while and now it appears that the London-based club is about ready to splurge on the Norwegian phenom:
According to Fabrizio Romano on The Si Phillips Talks Chelsea Podcast today, “Tuchel is a big fan of Alaba” and Chelsea are “one of the 5 clubs in talks to sign him.” Of course, Alaba looks closest to Real Madrid and Romano actually admits that a deal has been agreed, but nothing has been signed and it has not been completed yet.
This has been the case for a while now, which makes you wonder whether another club is pushing hard to intervene. As Romano says, ‘anything can still happen’ with this one.

Man United ‘will target Ousmane Dembele if Jadon Sancho bid fails’
Manchester United will reportedly attempt to sign Ousmane Dembele from Barcelona if the club again fail to complete a move for Borussia Dortmund’s Jadon Sancho.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side were also said to be exploring a loan deal for Dembele, but the transfer window closed with the France international still at Camp Nou.
United have recently signed two right-sided attackers in the shape of Facundo Pellistri and Amad Diallo, but the pair are seen as players for the future, with the former heading out on loan and the latter set to feature for the club’s Under-23s side on Saturday.
