Luton Town want to sign Elliot Lee from Wrexham in the January transfer window, according to Sports Boom . The former West Ham United attacking midfielder was on the books of Luton from 2017 until 2022, before he moved to the Welsh club. Lee underwent knee surgery earlier in the campaign and has failed to establish himself in Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson's team. The 31-year-old has made three appearances in the Carabao Cup for the Welsh outfit so far this season, scoring one goal and providing one assist in the process.

Crystal Palace are set to table a formal offer for Wolves striker Jorgen Strand Larsen. Sources have told BBC Sport that Palace's interest in the 25-year-old forward has intensified in the past 24 hours with a bid now expected from the Selhurst Park club. Wolves are open to selling the Norway international this month provided they get a fee close to the 55m they rejected from Newcastle for the striker during the summer transfer window.

Chelsea are in talks with Raheem Sterling and his representatives and a solution is expected to be found before the window closes on Monday. It is expected he will no longer be a Chelsea player after Monday. Sterling has been training away from the first-team squad and he still has 18 months left to run on a contract worth more than £300,000 a week. The player does not want to leave on another loan deal.

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.

Given the competition for places in the middle of the park, it was suggested that Bernal could explore leaving on loan in the current window, with Barcelona being open to the idea if the player himself requested it. However, according to MARCA, the matter is settled, and Bernal will be staying at Barcelona in the January window.

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.

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.
