Guehi deal will take City spending to close to half a billion, as case faces a wait of another year

The January transfer window is heating up as clubs across Europe look to make final additions ahead of the business end of the season.

While Manchester City look to have completed their business for the month with the signings of Antoine Semenyo and Marc Guehi, Liverpool continue their hunt for a centre-back, with the Reds linked to Spurs star Micky Van de Ven. Inter Milan’s Alessandro Bastoni and Borussia Dortmund’s Nico Schlotterbeck are also said to be under consideration at Anfield.

Their Premier League rivals will also look to strengthen this month with the battle for Champions League football set to intensify, with Chelsea having opened talks to sign star Rennes centre-back Jeremy Jacquet. But could a former Chelsea midfielder be on his way back to the Premier League? Ruben Loftus-Cheek has been linked with a number of clubs, including Manchester United, as the club target several midfielders to bolster the squad available to interim boss Michael Carrick.

Elsewhere, Premier League leaders Arsenal will likely focus on outgoings for the rest of this month, with Mikel Arteta seemingly happy with his squad for now and star youth talent Ethan Nwaneri on his way to seal a loan deal at Marseille.

“We're in conversations with Raheem at the moment about different things going on in his career,” Rosenior said.

“Hopefully that will be clearer in the next couple of days.”

Speaking on Disasi, Rosenior added: “My decision on Axel: I had a really good meeting with him a couple of days ago.

“I said to the players when I came in that it's a clean slate for everybody so it was only right for me to chat with him. He's behind in terms of his fitness, his match fitness and we'll work with him.”
