Deadline day key events
Tottenham 'join' Arsenal in race for La Liga star
Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly joined the race to sign Arsenal-linked Javi Guerra from La Liga side Valencia.
The Valencia academy product was linked with a potential move away from Mestalla in the summer transfer window.
Atletico Madrid appeared to be in a strong position to sign the 21-year-old, but a move ultimately failed to materialise as Atleti opted to bolster their midfield with the addition of Conor Gallagher.
After the transfer window had closed, it was reported that Arsenal had instructed their scouting department to monitor Guerra.
'I know Guardiola likes my football': Guimaraes responds to Man City links
Newcastle United midfielder Bruno Guimaraes has acknowledged that he is admired by Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola, but he has played down suggestions that a move to the Etihad Stadium could be on the cards.
The 26-year-old has established himself as a key player under manager Eddie Howe and has become a fans' favourite at St James Park' since joining the Magpies from Lyon in January 2022.
Guimaraes, who has contributed with 17 goals and 17 assists in 121 appearances across all competitions, was the subject of interest from the likes of Man City and Arsenal last summer, but an exit ultimately failed to materialise.
The Brazil international has since been appointed as Newcastle's new club captain and has worn the armband in all 11 of their Premier League matches this season, with Howe's side sitting eighth in the table.
Ben Doak to replace Mohamed Salah? Liverpool loan star's Anfield future assessed
A permanent exit from Liverpool for loanee Ben Doak is more likely than the youngster establishing himself as a regular under Arne Slot, Reds expert David Lynch has revealed.
The Scotsman performed brilliantly for his nation against Poland and Croatia in their outings this past week, with the winger tormenting Manchester City and Croatia defender Josko Gvardiol during their sides' clash last Friday.
Scotland would go on to win their match against Croatia 1-0 thanks to John McGinn's 86th-minute goal, but it was Doak that managed to capture headlines following his breathtaking performance.
The right-winger has also impressed during his loan spell at Middlesbrough so far this season, but Lynch believes that barring a major uptick in terms of direct goal contributions, Doak is likely to leave the Reds in the near future, telling Sports Mole: "It was my understanding there was an openness to selling him in the summer just gone. That was something that was on the table.
'I understand if he wants to go': McAtee's Man City future analysed amid PL links
Manchester City expert Steven McInerney from Esteemed Kompany is hopeful that James McAtee stays at the club and can establish himself as a first-team player, but he would not be surprised if the youngster expressed a desire to seek pastures new.
After two successful years on loan at Sheffield United, McAtee has since been integrated into Pep Guardiola's senior squad this term, as Man City decided against sending the midfielder out on loan for a third straight season.
However, at a time when Guardiola has been working with a depleted squad due to the club's injury crisis, McAtee has struggled for regular first-team football this season, making just six senior appearances in all competitions.
McAtee has been reduced to just three starts - two in the EFL Cup and one in the Community Shield - while he has featured for less than 60 minutes across three substitute outings in the Premier League and Champions League.
"It isn't Guardiola or nothing": Why new Haaland deal would be "a statement of intent"
Manchester City expert Steven McInerney from Esteemed Kompany believes that it would be "important symbolically for life beyond Pep Guardiola" if Erling Haaland was to sign a contract extension at the Etihad Stadium.
Haaland has been labelled as the "best striker in the world" by McInerney and the striker's time at Man City has been nothing short of prolific, having scored 105 goals in 114 games across all competitions since joining in 2022.
The two-time Premier League Golden Boot winner is already leading the way at the top of the scoring charts this season with 12 goals in just 11 top-flight matches, while he has also scored three times in four Champions League fixtures this term.
Haaland is believed to be content at Man City, but speculation over a possible big-money move to La Liga has been mooted for some time amid reported interest from Real Madrid and Barcelona.
Could Real Madrid loan Endrick to Premier League club in surprise deal?
A Premier League club has allegedly emerged as a potential surprise loan destination for Real Madrid youngster Endrick.
Earlier this year, the Brazil international finalised his highly-anticipated move to the Bernabeu in a deal worth at least €60m.
With the 18-year-old having already starred for Palmeiras back in his homeland and on the international stage for Selecao, much was expected after completing his move to Spain.
However, the teenager has endured a hugely frustrating opening four months in the colours of Real, making just one start in La Liga and the Champions League.
Barcelona 'set Raphinha asking price' amid Arsenal interest
Barcelona have reportedly set an asking price for Raphinha should any club show an interest in 2025.
During the summer transfer window, the versatile attacker was frequently linked with a move away from the Catalan giants at a time when they could have benefitted from recouping a substantial fee from a player sale.
However, on more than one occasion, Raphinha has allegedly pledged his allegiance to Barcelona having secured his dream move to Camp Nou in 2022.
Under Hansi Flick, though, the Brazil international has taken his game to a new level, establishing himself as one of the best performers in world football during the current campaign.
Which current Real Madrid star did Arsenal turn down in 2016?
Real Madrid midfielder Federico Valverde has revealed that he had his heart set on a transfer to Arsenal during his teenage years.

A total of 24 goals have been scored during his 275 appearances for Los Blancos in all competitions, Valverde counting three La Liga titles and two Champions League trophies among his silverware.
With a contract in place until 2029, the Uruguay international is tied to Real for the next phase of his career, the player seemingly happy with life in Spain.

Manchester United are reportedly interested in signing Paris Saint-Germain forward Randal Kolo Muani in January.

Joining from Italian side Bologna over the summer, the Netherlands international scored on his Premier League debut against Fulham but has failed to find the net across 16 competitive matches since.
Zirkzee has lost his starting spot for the Red Devils to Denmark star Rasmus Hojlund, who has returned from an injury that plagued him during the opening weeks of the campaign.
Slot pull? Liverpool 'eyeing up' £70m player Klopp missed out on
Liverpool have reportedly renewed their interest in Inter Milan forward Marcus Thuram.
The 27-year-old has featured heavily during November's international pause, starting the 3-1 win over Italy in the UEFA Nations League on Sunday night.
Failing to find the net for Didier Deschamps's men during matches against Israel and Italy, Thuram was unable to translate his sensational form from club football onto the international stage.
The Frenchman has found the net on seven occasions and provided two assists across 12 Serie A matches for Inter at the beginning of the 2024-25 term.
Title back on? Arsenal 'handed major boost' in pursuit of Williams
Arsenal have reportedly been handed a major boost in the race for Athletic Bilbao winger Nico Williams.
The 22-year-old burst onto the world stage at Euro 2024 in Germany, where he helped Spain to their fourth European Championship trophy, beating England in the final.
Williams was in action for his nation on Monday night, when La Roja finished top of UEFA Nations League A4 following a 3-2 win over Switzerland.
Focusing on club matters, the winger has endured a difficult start to the term for the Spanish club, scoring once and providing one assist across 11 La Liga appearances.

Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sanchez reportedly has a future at Stamford Bridge despite alleged interest in Liverpool's Caoimhin Kelleher.

However, Sanchez has since spent time in and out of the team, ending 2023-24 as deputy to Djordje Petrovic before regaining his place since the arrival of head coach Enzo Maresca.
The Italian has been unwavering of his support for the 27-year-old even when he has been producing inconsistent performances or making glaring errors at the back.
Italian giants 'following Ipswich attacker' after impressive top-flight start
Juventus are reportedly interested in signing Ipswich Town striker Liam Delap.
The 21-year-old made the high-profile switch from English champions Manchester City to Portman Road over the summer window for a fee of £15m.
Delap has impressed massively during his opening months as a top-flight forward, bagging six goals across 11 Premier League matches for the Tractor Boys.
The former Citizen found the net in his most recent match, scoring the game-winning goal during Ipswich's visit to Tottenham Hotspur on November 10.
Survival boost: Wolves, Southampton join race for £16m Algerian attacker?
Wolverhampton Wanderers and Southampton have reportedly joined the race for Hertha Berlin youngster Ibrahim Maza.
The 18-year-old is also said to have attracted the interest of newly-promoted Leicester City and Spanish giants Atletico Madrid at the beginning of the 2024-25 term.
Maza has made a standout start to the campaign for the capital club, scoring three goals and providing one assist across 12 Bundesliga 2 appearances.
Graduating from Hertha's youth academy in 2023, the attacking midfielder has already featured in more competitive matches this term than he managed during the entirety of the 2023-24 season.
A dream five days: Villa star pens new long-term deal after international debut
Aston Villa have announced that Morgan Rogers has signed a new long-term contract.
At the start of the year, Villa made the decision to sign the versatile attacker from Championship side Middlesbrough in a deal that could eventually reach £16m.
The expectation was that the 22-year-old would provide competition to players above him in the pecking order when Villa were attempting to secure Champions League qualification at the same time as trying to win the Conference League.
However, Rogers has since established himself as one of Unai Emery's key players, impressively transitioning from a player with no Premier League experience to an England international in the space of 10 months.
Man United to offer Zirkzee plus £25m to land Chelsea target?
Manchester United are reportedly prepared to offload Joshua Zirkzee in order to beat Chelsea to a long-term transfer target.
The Red Devils have just begun a new era under Ruben Amorim, who took charge of his first training session> on Monday ahead of the trip to Ipswich Town at the weekend.
For the first six weeks of his reign, the Portuguese will need to work with the players currently at his disposal as he bids to get United back into contention for Champions League qualification.
However, it is natural to expect that the 39-year-old will want to stamp his authority on the squad as soon as possible, targeting players more suited to his preferred 3-4-2-1 or 3-4-3 formations.
Vardy replacement? Leicester, Tottenham 'want £12m League One star'
Tottenham Hotspur and Leicester City are reportedly interested in signing Aston Villa youngster Louie Barry.
The 21-year-old is currently on loan at Stockport County, who are occupying fourth spot in the League One standings following their promotion from the fourth tier earlier in the calendar year.
After his 2023-24 term was impacted severely by injury, Barry has enjoyed a barnstorming opening to the 2024-25 schedule, bagging 11 goals across 16 third-tier appearances.
The young Villan provided the game-winning moment in the first half against promotion rivals Wrexham on Saturday, when the Hatters secured a narrow one-goal victory.

West Ham United and Southampton have reportedly entered the race to sign Airdrieonians duo Cole Williams and Dylan Williams.

Both midfielders, they have largely featured for Airdrie's Under-18s side so far in the 2024-25 campaign, although they have both appeared three times on the bench for the first team in the Scottish Championship.
The Diamonds could do with some fearless youth in their XI considering their start to the term, with the club rock bottom of the second-tier table.
