With Jean-Philippe Mateta having already told Crystal Palace that he wants to leave and the club listening to offers for the France forward, this feels like a move waiting to happen. The 28-year-old only has 18 months left on his present deal despite signing a contract extension with the Eagles just over 12 months ago. Italian giants Juventus and Premier League Aston Villa are believed to be leading the chase for Mateta, who Palace value at around 40m.

Barcelona are reportedly close to signing young Dutch defender Juwensley Onstein from Jong Genk in the January transfer window. Reporter Matteo Moretto has posted an update on X and says "an agreement between the clubs is close" and that Onstein has already given the transfer the green light. Onstein is an 18-year-old left-footed central defender who has been linked with a move to AC Milan, but it now seems that Barcelona are set to win the race for the defender.

"He is like my son,"

Co-owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac sanctioned a summer net spend of more than 30m as Wrexham overhauled their squad to give themselves the best possible chance of being competitive in the second tier. The options Phil Parkinson has at his disposal are continuing to improve too as players return from injury, meaning such an outlay is not needed in the winter window.

Real Madrid are willing to sell David Alaba in the January transfer window, according to . Alaba is out of contract at Los Blancos at the end of the season, and the Spanish powerhouse are ready to cash in on him now. The report in the Spanish news outlet has reported that Besiktas have 'initiated formal contacts' for Alaba, who has had injury problems throughout his time at Estadio Bernabeu.

Spurs have pulled off a mammoth transfer coup, hijacking Aston Villa with a £34m (AUD 68m) move for Atletico Madrid midfielder Conor Gallagher. Initially, Villa had finalised a verbal agreement with the Spanish club on a loan deal with a buy option that would see the 25-year-old return to the Premier League under Unai Emery. Tottenham powerbrokers had reportedly inquired about Gallagher according to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano, but Villa's move was the most concrete of the pair.

Chris Wood has undergone surgery for a knee issue, while Igor Jesus and Taiwo Awoniyi have struggled to deliver for Forest, who sit seven points clear of the Premier League relegation zone. Nicolas Dominguez's strike and a late penalty from Morgan Gibbs-White secured a 2-1 victory over relegation rivals West Ham last time out, but Dyche acknowledged the need for more options up top.

The paper announce that the former Chelsea man isn't likely to leave for Lazio in January. The primary reason is Allegri, because he 'considers him very important for the team'. Despite Maurizio Sarri's advances - a coach he worked well with in London - RLC isn't expected to go anywhere. Even if there were an agreement to begin negotiations, a financial problem would still remain. Loftus-Cheek's salary of €4m net per season would significantly complicate any potential negotiations to take him to the capital.

Lead United are interested in signing the Union Berlin defender Danilho Doekhi. The 27-year-old Netherlands international has done quite well for the German club, and he has attracted the attention of the Premier League club now. Leeds are hoping to tighten up at the back, and they need more quality in that area of the pitch. Signing the 27-year-old defender could prove to be a wise decision.

"It's a next crazy month in football, and I don't know. "I have experienced so many different situations that you thought the player is already here, and then he is not here, or you thought the player would definitely stay, and then he leaves. "The next 31 days will be everything is possible like always, and everything I say now might be wrong in two days."

Christopher Nkunku has made a breakthrough, opening his Serie A account after scoring in the Coppa Italia. This remains a transfer market issue to monitor in the coming days and weeks. Clearly, the brace against Verona has changed sentiment on Nkunku. One match won't change the assessments of all parties involved, but one match can certainly spark a spark, it can change the timing of certain discussions. And that's why I can confirm that there's some movement around Nkunku.
