New wage figures show Arsenal biggest over-performers

The final days of the January transfer window put Premier League clubs up against it in the scramble for late additions to make a decisive impact at the business end of the season.

Raheem Sterling, now a free agent after his sad fall at Chelsea led to his contract being terminated, has been linked with Tottenham and seven other clubs.

The Blues have been linked to Jeremy Jacquet, with Liverpool and Bayern Munich reportedly keen to rival Liam Rosenior’s side in the summer should a January deal not materialise.

Liverpool target emergency right-back cover

The Athletic reports that Liverpool are targeting Lutsharel Geertruida, who could plug their gaping hole in defence after an injury crisis.

Currently on loan at Sunderland from Leipzig, the 25-year-old Dutchman can play at right-back, centre-back or as a holding midfielder, and has previously played under Reds boss Arne Slot at Feyenoord.

Rangers launch move for Naderi

Rangers have reportedly lodged a £2.6m bid for Hansa Rostock striker Ryan Naderi as they strive to bolster their squad for the William Hill Premiership title run-in.

The 22-year-old target man has attracted Gers' interest after notching eight goals for the German third-tier side this term.

It remains to be seen if Rostock are willing to cash in on their top scorer as they chase promotion to Bundesliga 2.

Rangers currently have three centre-forwards at their disposal in Bojan Miovski, Youssef Chermiti and Danilo but they have scored just 10 league goals between them.

Brazilian striker Danilo has been linked with a move away from Ibrox amid interest from Cypriot club Pafos and Dutch side NEC Nijmegen.

Second-placed Rangers, who are four points behind leaders Hearts, have already added winger Andreas Skov Olsen, midfielder Tochi Chukwuani and left-back Tuur Rommens to their squad this month, with further recruitment anticipated before the transfer window closes next Monday.

Why Raheem Sterling’s sad decline is symptomatic of a chaotic Chelsea era

A good day to bury bad news became a very good day to bury bad news. Chelsea FC announced Raheem Sterling’s departure two-and-a-half hours before kick-off on Wednesday. Later that night, they had beaten a man consigned to their past rather earlier, and after a rather more successful time at Stamford Bridge, in Antonio Conte.

Overcoming Napoli in Italy was the best result of Liam Rosenior’s brief tenure, and one of the finest since Sterling last kicked a ball for the Blues. It left Chelsea sixth in the Champions League standings: impressive, even for a club who have spent some £1.6bn in under four years.

Sterling’s four seasons at Chelsea featured six managers and a transfer outlay of £1.6bn – there may still be hope for the former England star’s career
