Sports Mole rounds up all of the latest transfer news in the Premier League on Friday, February 5.
Friday morning's Premier League transfer talk news roundup:
David Alaba 'wants to join Chelsea over Real Madrid'

Bayern Munich defender David Alaba reportedly favours a move to Chelsea this summer despite suggestions that the Austrian has already agreed to join Real Madrid.
The 28-year-old's contract at the Allianz Arena is due to expire at the end of June, and a number of clubs have been credited with an interest in his services.
A recent report claimed that Madrid have already agreed a four-year contract with the Austria international, who would officially join Zinedine Zidane's side upon the expiration of his Bayern deal.
However, according to AS, talks between the two parties are not as advanced as suggested, and the player himself is currently leaning towards a move to the Premier League.
Manchester United and Liverpool have been credited with an interest in the versatile defender, but Alaba is said to favour a switch to Chelsea ahead of the 2021-22 campaign.
The nine-time Bundesliga winner, who is not thought to be target for Manchester City, has made 25 appearances at club level this term.
Sergio Aguero 'wants to join Barcelona this summer'

Manchester City forward Sergio Aguero is reportedly keen on a move to Barcelona this summer.
The 32-year-old's contract at the Etihad Stadium is due to expire at the end of June, and it appears increasingly likely that the Argentina international will be seeking pastures new for the 2021-22 campaign.
Aguero has only made five Premier League appearances this season due to a mixture of injury and coronavirus, and it is currently unclear when he will be available for selection once again.
Barca have recently been linked with the South American, who is City's all-time leading goalscorer with 256 goals in 379 appearances in all competitions.
According to Cadena Ser, the Catalan giants have already been in contact with Aguero over a potential move, and the experienced attacker 'would be delighted' to move to Camp Nou.
The report claims that his arrival could also help the club keep Lionel Messi, who continues to be linked with the likes of Man City and Paris Saint-Germain.
Aguero has scored just twice in nine outings for Pep Guardiola's side this season.
