West Ham are close to signing the Venezuela winger Keiber Lamadrid and plan to keep Callum Wilson, who has been in talks to leave five months after joining. Wilson scored West Ham's winner at Tottenham on Saturday after coming on as a late substitute. The 33-year-old was understood to have grown dissatisfied with life under Nuno Espirito Santo and had been seeking a new challenge but the club, five points adrift of safety, intend to hold on to him.
Said El Mala has burst onto the scene at FC Köln and he's quickly become a transfer target for several top clubs across Europe including Bayern Munich. His profile has been compared to that of Lennart Karl and Jamal Musiala with his pace, dribbling abilities, and finishing, but he's his own player and, by the looks of things, has quite a high ceiling ahead of him.
I think there's a strong possibility he could leave, especially now following the arrival of Antoine Semenyo. It's pushed him even further down the pecking order in Pep Guardiola's plans. He's injured at the minute, so that might put a question mark over his possible departure in the January transfer window, but I don't think it's a serious injury. I think for Oscar Bobb himself, he probably needs to be playing regularly after a couple of injuries and seasons which have delayed his development.
Leicester City have held talks with FC Como in an attempt to sign Switzerland forward Alisha Lehmann this month. The 26-year-old joined Italian club Como - currently sixth in Serie A - on a three-year deal from Juventus in August. It is unclear whether Leicester hope to bring her in on loan or sign her on a permanent deal. Lehmann has previously played for Women's Super League clubs West Ham, Everton and Aston Villa.
Harry Kane has been a revelation with Bayern Munich, regularly scoring or assisting goals and even started several attacking moves that end in a goal. That's what he embodies: goal, goal, goal. Bayern has a goal too: to extend his contract before anyone can have a sniff, much like they did with Vincent Kompany when Manchester City were on the prowl.
Barcelona are already laying the groundwork for next season, and one high-profile attacking name continues to feature prominently in their internal discussions. According to a recent report from MARCA, Barcelona remain interested in Julian Alvarez, despite the striker not enjoying his most productive campaign with Atletico Madrid. It is known that Barcelona's sporting management is actively developing a roadmap for the attacking unit ahead of the summer transfer window.
Rangers captain James Tavernier has emerged as a target for former Liverpool and Chelsea manager Rafa Benitez, now in charge of Panathinaikos, with the 34-year-old right-back out of contract this summer. (Daily Mail), external Aberdeen have enquired about taking on loan Rangers midfielder Lyall Cameron, who chose Ibrox instead of Pittodrie when leaving Dundee in the summer, but it is not yet clear whether an option-to-buy agreement is possible for the 23-year-old.
Hayden Hackney has been linked with a move away from Middlesbrough in recent months, and Manchester United could be a potential destination. Michael Carrick has been appointed as the inter manager at Old Trafford and he is reportedly keen on a reunion with the midfielder. Hackney was a key player for him when he was managing the Championship club. It will be interesting to see if Manchester United can get the deal done.
"I don't know," McInnes said of the prospect of the transfer being fast-tracked. "We don't control that, but it would be nice if we could. "We could do with a couple of signings, if we can, to help us. We've got a couple of injuries, and we'll see where we are. I don't know if that (Mato) can be done, but certainly if it can be done, we'll try it."

(L'Equipe - in French, external) Everton have sent an official bid to Turkish side Fenerbahce for Morocco striker Youssef En-Nesyri, 28.
Newcastle United midfielder Joe Willock reportedly wants to leave the club this January and they could be prepared to sanction his departure. This comes as Willock supposedly attracts transfer interest from two Premier League clubs in the form of Leeds United and Crystal Palace, according to Football Insider. Willock had initially been a key player for Newcastle when he first joined from Arsenal a few years ago, but it's fair to say he's fallen down the pecking order in more recent times.
