Transfer news LIVE!

The transfer window has officially re-opened for business as clubs in the Premier League and beyond scramble to complete deals to bolster their squads and ambitions for the second half of a chaotic season.

Teams across Europe have until 11pm GMT on Monday, January 31 to get business done otherwise face waiting until the summer to make any necessary improvements.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s future will be one of the key storylines of this window, with fresh reports suggesting that Newcastle - on the verge of sealing Kieran Trippier’s arrival - want to loan the Arsenal striker with a view to completing a £20million summer deal.

In terms of potential incomings at the Emirates, Aston Villa midfielder Douglas Luiz is seemingly on Mikel Arteta’s list of targets along with team-mate Ollie Watkins.

Chelsea playmaker Conor Gallagher - currently starring on loan at Crystal Palace - has been linked with a big-money move to Paris Saint-Germain, while the Blues have been offered a boost in pursuit of Lucas Digne after Everton signed Vitaliy Mykolenko from Dynamo Kyiv.

Hakim Ziyech, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Ross Barkley could all depart Stamford Bridge this month, meanwhile.

Manchester United seem to have fresh hope in their quest to sign West Ham star Declan Rice, while they may also battle Liverpool for Leeds defender Charlie Cresswell with Axel Tuanzebe on his way to Napoli.

However, Borussia Dortmund goal machine Erling Haaland has supposedly made it clear that he wants to play in Spain next in a major boost to top suitors Real Madrid.

Tottenham are eyeing Franck Kessie, Wolves star Adama Traore and perhaps even Philippe Coutinho, while West Ham are pondering a swoop for Aston Villa’s Anwar El Ghazi.
