Everton, Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea and Arsenal are all the talk of the papers today. Get the latest here.
The transfer window may be closed, but the rumour mill keeps on moving…
No, not David Silva, but Joao Silva. Never heard of him? Everton fans will have done, not that he has had any impact at the club.
The young striker has not even been at Goodison Park recently, he has been on loan at Portuguese side Vitoria Setubal but was recalled earlier this week.
The Mail report that he is wanted by two Romanian clubs, Otelul Galati, and FC Cluj. The Romanian transfer window is open until mid-February you see.
The Mail also report that Manchester United are keen on teenager Diacko Fofana.
Fofana is 17 and has recently broken into the first team of French side Nice.
The defender becomes the latest young name after Nathaniel Clyne to be linked with the right-back position at Old Trafford.
While one youngster could be on their way into Old Trafford, one could be on their way out, report Sky Sports.
Apparently defender Ezekiel Fryers is stalling over signing a new contract, and Tottenham are interested.
Fryers played in the Carling Cup this season at centre-back, although he is a left-back by trade and is highly regarded, so United would be loathe to let him go.
The Didier Drogba speculation tailed off thanks to his involvement at the African Nations Cup, well it’s back.
The manager of MLS side Chicago Fire has declared he is determined to sign the 33-year-old striker at the end of the season.
Drogba was previously linked with moves to China and Russia, and while we think he will move at the end of the season, we can’t see him joining another English side, so the MLS link could be a goer.
And finally, this very website gives our opinion on the news that Andrei Arshavin could still leave Arsenal this month.
For all their recent problems we feel Arsenal would be mad to let him go at such a crucial stage of the season without a chance to get a replacement in.
