  2. Get Involved - 'Leeds need a couple of quality signings to stay in the Premier League'

    Leeds have traditionally been spectacularly mediocre in recent transfer windows. Our aim has always been to stay in the Premier League and we probably need a couple of quality signings to ensure that happens. In order of priority, a creative midfielder (shame we missed Wilson), a striker and a goalkeeper.

  3. Wilson deal 'a loan with a view to permanent signing'

    We've got a little bit more information on that out of the blue transfer news from earlier concerning Arsenal's approach to sign 18-year-old forward James Wilson from Hearts.

    BBC Sport Senior football correspondent Sami Mokbel says that discussions are over a proposed loan deal for the remainder of the season, with a view to signing the forward on a permanent basis should he impress during his time in north London.

    The teenager has already been capped by Scotland and has scored eight goals in 21 starts for the Edinburgh club, including two goals in 10 appearances this season.

    It is expected he will compete for a spot within Arsenal's U21s side and is not considered a first team signing.

  4. McCabe to leave Arsenal in the summer - reports

    We've had another piece of Women's Super League transfer news in the last few hours, and it's quite big.

    According to The Guardian's Tom Garry, Arsenal full-back Katie McCabe is likely to leave the club this summer after over ten years in north London.

    He says that there is 'not a new deal on the table' for the Republic of Ireland skipper, with the club wanting to 'refresh the squad'.

    A reminder that the women's transfer deadline is 23:00 GMT on Tuesday - we'll bring you updates right up until then here on the BBC Sport website.

    In the meantime, every WSL incoming and outgoing is listed here.

    HOWEVER.

    For those eager for something to happen...

    At this exact time on transfer deadline day back in the summer, there were only two confirmed transfers in the Premier League.

    By the time the window shut, 25 deals had been concluded.

    There is hope for us all, yet.

  7. Elliott expected to remain with Aston Villa

    Harvey Elliott is expected to stay at Aston Villa.

    The Liverpool loanee's future has been in doubt since Villa boss Unai Emery decided he did not want to make his move from Anfield permanent.

    Elliott is now three appearances away from triggering a transfer worth £35m after initially joining on loan in the summer.

    The attacker had been sidelined by Emery - although he has remained training with the first team - with the manager saying Villa decided in October not to buy the 21-year-old.

    Yet after an injury crisis at Villa with Boubacar Kamara out for the season and John McGinn and Youri Tielemans out for months Elliott has featured in Villa's last two games - having not played since 2 October.

    He played the entire match in Villa's Europa League win over Red Bull Salzburg last week and was a second-half substitute in Sunday's 1-0 defeat to Brentford.

  8. 'Jacquet signing in summer for financial reasons'

    Liverpool's signing of Jeremy Jacquet was likely pushed to the summer to allow the 20-year-old another five months of game time, but also for financial reasons as we move to the new Squad Cost Ratio (SCR) rules - which replaces PSR - from 2026-27.

    Liverpool, of course, spent heavily last summer and are already making a big statement as to their business next year, while keeping their spending in line with the new regulations.

  9. Get Involved - 'What a decline it's been for Wolves'

    Six years ago, we had one of the best centre-forwards in the world in Raul Jimenez. Now we are apparently being rejected by Che Adams. What a decline it's been for Wolves.

    Nick, Wolverhampton

  10. Get Involved - 'Where is the action Spurs?!'

    Click 'Get Involved' to have your say

    Am I missing something with Spurs? We were promised big investment, we have an injury crisis and a bench full of teenagers. So far we have signed Gallagher and a teenage left back. Where is the action?! We need a forward and a creative midfielder desperately!

  11. Chelsea academy stars find new opportunities

    Chelsea have a number of academy players leaving today.

    Winger Ato Ampah is expected to join Stoke City, defender Harry McGlinchey is expected to join Sheffield United and midfielder Frankie Runham has joined Ipswich Town on loan.

    Runham is expected to stay beyond the summer with his loan having an option/obligation based on conditions.

    Yahya Idrissi has joined AC Milan's academy. There could be further departures as Jimi Taurainen and Sam Rak-Sakyi could leave.

  12. Wolves awaiting Torino response for Adams

    Wolves are still waiting to hear back from Torino after making an 8m euro offer for Che Adams last week.

    The former Birmingham and Southampton striker is keen to return to the UK but the Serie A club are reluctant to let him leave.

    Adams joined Torino from Southampton on a free transfer in 2024 and has scored 16 goals in 63 appearances.

    He netted the winner in Torino's 1-0 win over Lecce on Sunday which left them 13th in Serie A.

  13. Get Involved - 'If Man Utd don't get a midfielder, we'll be in trouble for top four'

    Click 'Get Involved' to have your say

    I understand Man Utd being cautious about transfers this window, but I feel if we don't get a midfielder in we'll be in trouble fighting for 4th. Mainoo or Cas gets injured, we only really have Mount available & he'll be straight back on the treatment table after 1 match. Neves would be ideal to cover and cheap, but we need someone.

  15. Forest fail with Hackney approach
    Breaking

    BBC Sport football news reporter

    Nottingham Forest have failed with an approach for Middlesbrough midfielder Hayden Hackney.

    The Premier League side contacted the Championship promotion chasers on Sunday but it was immediately knocked back.

    Boro are joint top of the Championship with Coventry as they look to return to the Premier League for the first time since 2016-17.

    Hackney turned down a move to Ipswich in the summer after Middlesbrough agreed a £20m deal.

    The 23-year-old was happy to bide his time at Boro, having come through the academy and made 145 appearances, and choose his next move carefully.

  16. Merino hard to replace for Arsenal

    Mikel Merino is a hard player to replace for Arsenal if they were looking for cover in the market.

    The Gunners are always actively monitoring transfer opportunities but it is understood that there is nothing lined up in terms of a deal to sign a player to replace injured Merino currently.

    The midfielder is set to undergo surgery on a foot injury and will be out for sustained period of time.

    Merino is a Spanish international, Euros winner and part of Arsenal's leadership team - the type of player traditionally hard to find in January at short notice.

  17. Get Involved - 'Few months back at Palace for Eze? Better for all concerned'

    Click 'Get Involved' to have your say

    Why have Palace not approached Arsenal about taking Eze back on loan until the summer? He's just bench warming at the Emirates, and his World Cup place is firmly under threat if Arteta continues to overlook him. A few months back at Palace would be better for all concerned.

  18. Iling Jr heading to Serie A?

    Nick Mashiter

    Aston Villa's Samuel Iling Jr is poised to cut short his loan at West Bromwich Albion to move to Pisa in Serie A.

    The winger has spent the first half of the season at the Baggies in the Championship.

    He scored once in 24 games but is now expected to move to Pisa to help them in their relegation fight with the club second bottom of Serie A.

    Iling Jr has previously played for Juventus and Bologna in Italy.

    The Baggies - 21st and three points above the Championship relegation zone - will replace him with Aston Villa team-mate Jamaldeen Jimoh-Aloba.

    Preston were also keen to take the 19-year-old on loan but Jimoh-Aloba wants to help the Baggies' relegation fight and has opted to return to the club over North End, while Leicester also enquired.

    Attacker Jimoh-Aloba came through the academy at The Hawthorns before moving to Villa in 2023.

    He made his Premier League debut last month and scored Villa's winner in the 3-2 comeback victory over Red Bull Salzburg in the Europa League last week.

  19. 'Jacquet is a special talent'

    On Liverpool's reported £60m deal to sign defender Jeremy Jacquet from Rennes:

    I can’t stress enough what a superb signing Jeremy Jacquet will be for Liverpool. He is a special talent and has everything to become one of the best defenders in the world. And he is Paris born and bred too, which makes him even more special!

  20. Get Involved - 'Not convinced Chelsea need Jacquet'

    Click 'Get Involved' to have your say

    I'm not convinced Chelsea needed Jacquet. Come the summer, we'll have Fofana, Chalobah, Colwill, Acheampong, Sarr, Anselmino, Badiashile and Tosin. Even if we sold Tosin and Badiashile (like many Chelsea fans hope) we'd still be left with six centre-backs.
