The Premier League's January transfer window is upon us with Arsenal, Chelsea and Newcastle all set to be busy.
Arsenal look set to be the busiest club as the deadline rapidly approaches. With no money to spend loans are on the agenda with moves for Inter Milan's Ivan Perisic, Barcelona's Denis Suarez and PSG's Christopher Nkunku being frantically worked on. Chelsea have made the biggest splash with the signing of Borussia Dortmund's Christian Pulisic but could well add more after seeing Gonzalo Higuain arriving from AC Milan on loan. The future of Callum Hudson-Odoi remains in the balance, however.
Manchester United are flying - could Ole Gunnar Solskjaer add to his in-form squad this month? - while Manchester City and Liverpool could look to dip their toes in the water with the title race looking set to go right down to the wire. We will have all the latest news, views, rumours, gossip and done deals right here so don't touch that dial.

Without further ado, off we go.
Rafa Benitez has revealed for the first time that he cannot guarantee he will be in charge at Newcastle United at the end of the season.
The Newcastle manager’s contract at St James’ Park ends this summer and Benitez can walk away for nothing, with the penalty clause that would have seen him have to pay £6million now invalid.
He had refused any attempts at a renegotiation, including the possibility of a short-term one-year extension, until he'd seen how the club had strengthened in the current transfer window.
Newcastle have still to sign a single player, after an attempt to take the left-back Jordan Lukaku on loan broke down on Friday night, and when asked if he could guarantee he would not walk out before the end of the season, he replied: “No, I cannot guarantee anything.”

Inter Milan admit that it will be "difficult" to keep Ivan Perisic at the club but insist that Arsenal are yet to present them with any kind of offer.
The Croatian has been linked with a loan move to north London before Thursday's transfer deadline and put in a formal request to leave over the weekend.
Perisic was left out of the squad to play Torino on Sunday with chief executive Giuseppe Marotta admitting they have a job on their hands to keep hold of the midfielder.

Centre-back Ake, who cost £20million from Chelsea in 2017, has been linked with a return to Stamford Bridge.
"We love working with him, we think he's got outstanding attributes, he's getting better and better in his position," Cherries manager Howe said of Ake.
"The speculation, as it has been all January, has been purely that - as with all our players.
"We've had no contact from any other club so it's business as usual."
