Rosenior on Chelsea's 3-2 win over struggling West Ham

We are into the penultimate day of the January transfer window with Premier League clubs up against it in the scramble for late additions to make a decisive impact at the business end of the season.

Liverpool have seemingly kicked into life entering the 11th hour as they seek emergency defensive cover to solve their injury crisis. The Reds have reportedly opened talks over a move for Sunderland defender Lutsharel Geertruida, who is on loan from RB Leipzig, and are ready to rival Chelsea for Rennes starlet Jeremy Jacquet.

The Blues, meanwhile, have freed up space on their wage bill after the termination of Raheem Sterling’s reported £325,000-per-week contract, with Tottenham among the clubs interested in the free agent. Spurs are also understood to be keen on rivalling Inter Milan for the signature of former Aston Villa winger Moussa Diaby.

Dominik Szoboszlai makes statement of intent to extend Liverpool contract

Dominik Szoboszlai has said he would love to commit his long-term future to Liverpool by signing a new contract.

The midfielder has revealed he is in talks with the club although he said there has been no progress and he believes the issue is out of his hands.

Szoboszlai’s current contract expires in 2028 but Liverpool have already started to discuss an extension with the 25 year old, who joined from RB Leipzig in 2023 for £60m.

And the Hungary captain is keen to sign. “I would love to,” he said. “I like the city, I like the club, I like playing with these guys, I love Anfield, I love the fans, let’s see what the future holds. Let’s see what happens, hopefully everyone will be happy at the end.”

However, Liverpool are no nearer to agreeing a deal with Szoboszlai adding: “It’s not in my hands. There is no progression but if the right offer comes then let’s see.”
