Sol Campbell pokes fun at infamous Spurs-Arsenal switch

Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United are clubs to watch in the finals days of the January transfer window. Erling Haaland has reportedly signed a new bumper extension at Manchester City, while it appears that Benjamin Sesko will not be an option for the Gunners as they target a new striker.

Mikel Arteta is also targeting a new midfielder, with Spain midfielder Martin Zubimendi appearing to be set on the Emirates over Anfield or with Man City at the Etihad.

Arne Slot’s Reds continue to negotiate with soon-to-be out-of-contract trio Trent Alexander-Arnold, Mohamed Salah and Virgil Van Dijk, with the right-back linked with a possible free transfer to Real Madrid.

While Manchester United are looking to sell Marcus Rashford. Kyle Walker could be on his way out of Man City, though, after informing Pep Guardiola of a desire to explore options away from the club and Milan and Inter are battling for the right back.

Elsewhere, Chelsea, currently in a rotten spell of form under Enzo Maresca, could negotiate a swap deal with Bayern Munich winger Mathys Tel, inserting out-of-favour striker Christopher Nkunku into a deal.

Esse set for Palace medial

Standard Sport says teenage winger Romain Esse will undergo a medical at Crystal Palace this afternoon.

A £14.5m move was agreed with Millwall earlier this week to bring the attacker to Selhurst Park.

Millwall left Esse out of their squad to face Dagenham & Redbridge in the FA Cup on Monday night due to the talks.

This transfer seems to be one step closer to completion.

Erling Haaland signs astonishing new 9.5 year contract at Man City

Erling Haaland has signed a 10-season contract to keep him at Manchester City until he is 33.

The striker, whose previous deal was set to expire in 2027, has put pen to paper on a seven-year extension in what is almost certainly the most lucrative contract City have given any player.

And the Norwegian, who has scored 111 goals in 125 games since his 2022 arrival from Borussia Dortmund, said he was delighted to agree to spend almost all of the rest of his career at City.

“I am super happy,” he said. “I am proud. It is difficult to put into words because it is a big moment. I am happy and that is the right words to use. I am super proud and happy and I am looking forward to staying here for a long time. In the end, speaking with the people I spoke with, the hunger and the support that I have been getting for the last couple of years from the board, from the bosses and from Pep [Guardiola], it was an easy decision. I am delighted.”
