City's charm offensive convinces Guehi

Manchester City and Crystal Palace talks are ongoing over a potential deal for Marc Guehi in this window.

Key has been City’s ability to convince Guehi of making the move in this window as opposed to the summer.

The England defender was in line to potentially make greater financial gain in the summer as a free agent when the likes of Liverpool, Bayern Munich and Arsenal were ready to make substantial offers.

Palace are willing to sell now with an asking price around £35million.

Sunderland close on wing king

Sunderland are advancing in talks to sign winger Jocelin Ta Bi for £3.5m from Maccabi Netanya.

As Daily Mail Sport reported earlier this week, Sunderland stepped in after a move to Celtic fell through. Sunderland are discussing a five-year deal for the 20-year-old.

Wilson exploring Saudi suitors

Callum Wilson is looking to explore offers in the Middle East over the coming days.

Al Shabab are among the clubs keen to speak to the 33-year-old who will be a free agent once his contract is terminated with West Ham.

Celtic and others have an interest but Wilson is looking to discuss a move abroad initially.

Opportunistic Liverpool

Liverpool maintain it will be a quiet window for them though they remain alert to opportunities.

Manager Arne Slot, talking about January transfer plans, this morning said: ‘Everyone is aligned about the challenges we are facing. That is not to say we are going to act but everyone is aligned. There is no-one who has a different opinion on it. That is not to say anything is going to happen.’

Harrison set for Fiorentina move

Leeds winger Jack Harrison is expected in Florence for his medical at Fiorentina today.

Fiorentina have agreed a loan deal with Leeds and Harrison is set to join for the rest of the season.

The loan includes an option to buy for around £6m.

Leeds are still weighing up moves for another forward and centre back this window after signing Facundo Buonanotte from Brighton yesterday.

They have checked on Napoli winger Noa Lang’s situation.

Coach Daniel Farke said on Thursday: ‘We missed out in the last days of the summer window on a creative, No 10, wide player. Since then, we have developed a good, capable group and we will only do something with the top characters who improve our squad.’

Malen completes Roma switch

Donyell Malen has completed a move to Roma for a fee of £21.6m.

He will wear the number 14 shirt at Roma, who are currently fifth in Serie A.

The Italian side accelerated their pursuit of the 26-year-old Netherlands forward amid rival interest from Atletico Madrid and Juventus.

Malen signed for Villa from Borussia Dortmund a year ago for an initial fee of £21m and has made 46 appearances for the club, scoring 10 goals.

Leeds finally land Buonanotte from Brighton

Leeds United have signed Facundo Buonanotte from Brighton at the second time of asking.

The Argentina midfielder was due to fly to Leeds in August only to make a late U-turn after Chelsea stepped in at the last minute to sign him. However, with his game time limited, Leeds asked again and the 21-year-old has cut short his loan at Chelsea to move to Elland Road on a loan with option to buy.

'I really wanted to come to Leeds instead of anywhere else. The time was right for me to come here to Leeds,' he told LUTV.

'First, I want to help Leeds. I need to do a good job here. And then, of course, if I have a chance to go to the World Cup, obviously I want to go.'
