New wage figures show Arsenal biggest over-performers

The final week of the January transfer window arrives with Premier League clubs making some late additions before the business end of the season.

Premier League leaders Arsenal are plotting a bid for Atletico Madrid star Julian Alvarez, after Ethan Nwaneri completed his loan move to Marseille. Alvarez would cost up to £87m and Gary Lineker believes he is not happy with his situation at Atletico and could be in favour of the move.

Tottenham looked poised for a shock swoop after it emerged that they were plotting a deal for Liverpool stalwart Andy Robertson, whose contract is up at the end of the season. After losing his place to Milos Kerkez, the Reds have blocked a premature exit for the 31-year-old citing the need of his services for the remainder of the season.

A former Liverpool full-back, Trent Alexander-Arnold, who has struggled at Real Madrid so far, could be a future target for Man City, it has been reported, though any return to the Premier League looks premature with the England international determined to fight for his place.

Elsewhere, Chelsea are reportedly targeting a loan move for Nottingham Forest midfielder Douglas Luiz alongside trying to seal a deal for promising French defender Jeremy Jacquet. In the Scottish league, Celtic are looking at reinforcements with striker Kasper Hogh at the top of their shortlist.

Bournemouth holding off Senesi interest

Bournemouth are planning on resisting any bids for Marcos Senesi during this month’s window, according to TalkSport.

The Argentine has turned down multiple offers to extend his contract – which expires in the summer – and Juventus and Barcelona have shown interest in the defender.

While both clubs know get ahead of rivals by trying to sign Senesi in January, the Cherries will do everything they can to keep their key defender this month.
