Kalvin Phillips has left Manchester City on loan, joining Sheffield United for the rest of the 2025/26 campaign.

It’s gone awfully quiet, even by today’s standards, so let’s run you through some of the big deals we’re keeping an eye on.

Jérémy Jacquet is set to undergo his Liverpool medical today ahead of a £55m move from Rennes – though we’re expecting him to stay with the French club for the remainder of the season before arriving on a five-year deal in the summer.

Jean-Philippe Mateta is nearing a move to AC Milan, and we understand that he has travelled to Paris to complete a medical. If the Rossoneri opt to pull out of the deal, Juventus are reportedly ready to swoop in. Remember, if Mateta stays in London, that is likely to have a knock-on effect on Crystal Palace’s pursuit of Jorgen Strand Larsen.

Arsenal are looking to secure the services of Sandro Tonali from Newcastle after Mikel Merino sustained a foot injury that will keep him sidelined for a lengthy period of time – but the Magpies insist they are not willing to sell the Italian.

Newcastle are, however, expected to bid farewell to Jamaal Lascelles in a £7m move to Leicester, who are also hoping to complete the loan signing of Man City’s Divine Mukasa.

Sunderland are preparing to send Simon Adingra out on loan to Monaco, and look to replace the winger with Anderlecht’s Nilson Angulo.

Should Arsenal be seeking a replacement for Merino?

Mikel Merino having a surgery booked to address a bone injury in his right foot isn’t the best news for Mikel Arteta and Arsenal fans.

Aaron, a Gunners fan, said: “I feel like Arsenal should have signed someone on loan to replace [Mikel] Merino. We will miss his goals!!!”

Might it have been Tonali? Probably not. So how does Arsenal’s squad depth look in the versatile Spaniard’s positions using Mikel Arteta’s set up against Leeds last week?

The return of Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz will surely help mitigate the knock to their goal threat, as will Viktor Gyokores’ goal in giving him the confidence he needs to up his underwhelming tally in an Arsenal shirt.

Also recall the brief experiment in which Myles Lewis-Skelly was drafted into midfield, to act as a box-to-box midfielder – something that Merino is also more than capable of doing.

How do you think Arsenal will fare with him out injured?
