Transfer news and rumours LIVE: Marcelino to be next Arsenal manager? Totteham set Eriksen price

The January Transfer Window opens in 29 days' time, as clubs across Europe consider sticking or twisting with the squads they assembled last summer.

With no fewer than three managerial changes made in the Premier League already this season, the likes of Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho and interim Arsenal manager Freddie Ljungberg may look to adjust things next month.

Will Manchester City bolster in an attempt to chase-down league leaders Liverpool? Will West Ham offer further investment to Manuel Pellegrini? Will Brendan Rodgers’ Leicester strengthen their push for top-four and above? And there’s Manchester United, with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's striking targets cut by Richarlison's new long-term Everton deal.

Elsewhere, we’ll keep you abreast of Barcelona and Real Madrid’s movements, and bring you best from the Championship also.

Here are the latest transfer news and rumours on Tuesday December 3rd…

Arsenal

Former Valencia coach Marcelino has been approached by Arsenal over the vacant manager's job, according to Goal.com's sources in Spain.

Meanwhile, we understand that Arsenal consider Freddie Ljungberg as a genuine contender to be their next permanent manager and will offer him the job if he instigates a sufficient turnaround in fortunes.

Chelsea

The Blues could be set to miss out on Napoli full-back Elseid Hysaj, with Calciomercato reporting Serie A outfit Roma ready to make a move for the Albania international in January.

The same outlet also offers an exclusive on out-of-favour striker Olivier Giroud being offered to AC Milan by the west London outfit.

Liverpool

The Reds are set to battle it out with Chelsea for Genk's highly-rated midfielder Sander Berge, according to reports in Norway.

Manchester City

Pep Guardiola says the club will wait until the end of the season before deciding whether to hand Fernandinho a new contract.

The 34-year-old's current deal runs out next summer and he's already been told he is unlikely to play in midfield again after impressing at centre-back.

“I think at the end of the season we are going to decide on the situation,” said the City manager.

“The players who finished their contracts, the players with full contracts, what we have to do is what we believe is the best for the club and organisation for next season.”

Manchester United

The Manchester United board have "no intention" of sacking Ole Gunnar Solskjaer despite a series of disappointing results, report The Athletic.

Gazzetto dello Sport say United could face a battle from Arsenal to sign Juventus defender Merih Demiral, the 21-year-old who only joined the Bianconeri in the summer from Sassuolo.

Real Madrid

The LaLiga giants are said to be preparing to make an offer for Napoli's 28-year-old Senegal defender Kalidou Koulibaly, according to Calciomercato.

Tottenham

Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho is planning for life without Christian Eriksen after the midfielder made it clear he will not be renewing his contract at Spurs.

The Telegraph reports that Eriksen will allow his current deal to run down before departing North London for free at the end of the season.

We'll bring you the latest transfer news and rumours throughout the day.
