Transfer news LIVE: Sesko agent provides Arsenal update, Man Utd fight for teenager plus Haaland’s mega contract

The 25-year-old, who is the second highest scorer in the Bundesliga, is set to become City’s most expensive January signing and their biggest buy since Josko Gvardiol arrived for £77m in 2023.

Personal terms are not expected to be an issue with Marmoush, who is keen to join the Premier League champions.

West Ham and Tottenham are looking into a move for Barcelona and Spain forward Ansu Fati.

The 22-year-old showed flashes of brilliance for Brighton last season on loan, but has since returned to the Nou Camp.

And now Sport claim that the London clubs will compete for the youngster after eight appearances and no goals this season for Hansi Flick’s side.

Real Madrid could pursue a sensational move for William Saliba after an impressive run of form for Arsenal.

The 23-year-old centre-back William Saliba could become a priority for Los Blancos in the summer.

And Foot Mercato report that Saliba is a prime target, though Leipzig’s Castello Lukeba is also on their radar.

The striker, whose previous deal was set to expire in 2027, has put pen to paper on a seven-year extension in what is almost certainly the most lucrative contract City have given any player.

And the Norwegian, who has scored 111 goals in 125 games since his 2022 arrival from Borussia Dortmund, said he was delighted to agree to spend almost all of the rest of his career at City.

“I am super happy,” he said. “I am proud. It is difficult to put into words because it is a big moment. I am happy and that is the right words to use. I am super proud and happy and I am looking forward to staying here for a long time. In the end, speaking with the people I spoke with, the hunger and the support that I have been getting for the last couple of years from the board, from the bosses and from Pep [Guardiola], it was an easy decision. I am delighted.”

Everton could sign former Chelsea and Fulham winger Willian, reports the Telegraph.

The Brazilian, now 36 years old, is a free agent having left Olympiakos in December.

Willian scored four goals in the Premier League last season for the Whites, but struggled to make an impact in Piraeus, with just 11 appearances in total across all competitions and no goals.

AC Milan could capitalise on Joao Felix’s lack of game time at Chelsea.

The Rossoneri have encountered difficulties negotiating with Manchester United for Marcus Rashford, according to Gazzetta dello Sport.

And Felix could emerge as a viable option for the Serie A side.

Manchester United are hopeful of holding off competition for Sporting’s Viktor Gyokeres to secure a deal in the summer, Miguel Delaney writes for the Independent.

Arsenal are understood to have raised the striker in discussions over a badly-needed forward signing for January, having brought forward plans from the summer after the ACL injury suffered by Gabriel Jesus.

Mikel Arteta this week admitted they are looking, and Gyokeres has been raised along with options such as Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko and Brighton’s Evan Ferguson. Arsenal have not seriously pursued PSG’s Randal Kolo Muani yet this window. The French striker is set to move to Juventus, which could see Dusan Vlahovic leave the Italian club, although Arteta’s interest in the striker is currently not as strong as was reported three years ago.

Benjamin Sesko’s agent Elvis Basanovic has provided an update on the striker’s future amid Arsenal speculation.

The Gunners need a new forward with Gabriel Jesus injured and Kai Havertz failing to convince as the No.9 for Mikel Arteta’s side.

And Basanovic tells Fabrizio Romano: “I don’t know from where does this story comes. I never talked with Arsenal about loan of Šeško”.

“Šeško is not a player for loans, never a topic for Arsenal or any other club”.

Erling Haaland has signed a new 9.5-year contract to end any speculation over his long-term future with Manchester City.

The 24-year-old forward is now tied to the Etihad Stadium until 2034, reports David Ornstein of the Athletic.

Crucially, City have removed any exit clauses that previously existed in his contract and threatened to provoke interest from Real Madrid.

Yesterday, Gianluca Di Marzio broke news that Man City are preparing an offer between €60-65m for Juventus defender Andrea Cambiaso.

The 24-year-old can play as a full-back or wing-back, and has become a regular starter both both Juventus and Italy.

However, Sky Italy “believe Juventus currently value Cambiaso at around £67m and are not looking to sell him this month”.

Cambiaso has four-and-a-half years left on his Juve contract.
