Tom Brady retires from NFL ‘for good’ in shock announcement ending iconic 23-year career

egendary quarterback has announced his decision to retire from the sport “for good”. In a brief social media video posted on Wednesday, the seven-time champion confirmed his exit from the sport having briefly quit during last year’s off-season.

He said: “Good morning, guys. I'll get to the point right away.
I'm retiring for good. “I know the process was a pretty big deal last time so when I woke up this morning I figured I'd just press record and let you guys know first. “It won't be long winded. You only get one super emotional retirement essay and I used mine up last year.”

How Nick ‘Snap’ Evans will help England’s attack crackle and pop in the Six Nations

How Nick ‘Snap’ Evans will help England’s attack crackle and pop in the Six Nations
🕦 13 hours | standarduk
ick “Snap” Evans would have been a physio had not worked out – but now it is his job to make ’s attack crackle and pop. Some 15 years after his first big “broad-minded” rugby decision, the Harlequins coach will orchestrate England’s attacking gameplan in the Guinness . Evans ended his career on 15 caps in 2008 for a new challenge at , seeking more than understudying .
The Auckland-born fly-half came to rugby late at university, but has now been tipped as a future Test head coach. His original fishing-based “Snapper” nickname has been abbreviated in his time becoming a fixture at Quins, but Evans is anything but part of the west London furniture.
SPONSORED The 42-year-old has been drafted into Steve Borthwick’s new England coaching set-up, leaving his old Harlequins boss John Kingston to hail a character as driven as he is humble.
“Nick replaced Andrew Mehrtens at Harlequins and immediately offered the same kind of comfort blanket, with how he would lead the team and transcend the group,” Kingston tells . “I’d say he probably has been the most influential overseas signing in the history of the Premiership.
It’s not often a player you coach gives you that real wow factor, but I definitely thought that about the likes of Agustin Pichot, Scott Quinnell, Mehrtens, Brian Moore and Eric Elwood – and Nick. “He couldn’t see himself getting ahead of Dan Carter and that was his primary reason for coming to the northern hemisphere, not for money or reputation.
He was broad-minded enough to take on a different challenge. “I brought him into Harlequins’ coaching panel in 2017 because of his incredible rugby brain. Your half-backs run the team on matchdays, and we’d already seen the influence Nick could have on a group.
“I have no doubts at all that Nick will be an international head coach at some point in future, absolutely no doubts at all.” Borthwick will launch his new England era in Saturday’s Six Nations opener against Scotland at Twickenham.
Evans is officially on loan to England from Quins for the tournament, but a crisp, incisive Six Nations attack will doubtless have Borthwick looking at longer-term options. Nick is a very cheery, amiable man... but he can be unbelievably hard on himself.
Nine years and a record 2,249 Harlequins points between 2008 and 2017 preceded Evans’ off-field switch at The Stoop, with the pinpoint goal-kicker having coached at Wimbledon during his playing days. Kingston led Quins to the 2012 Premiership title in 17 stellar years at the club, that took in all of Evans’ playing career and his coaching transition.
“Outwardly Nick is a very cheery, amiable man with a sunny personality,” adds Kingston. “But he can be unbelievably hard on himself, and he’s all about taking responsibility and control.
“The way he balances those two elements shows that he’s a total gentleman. It’s fascinating that Steve Borthwick has chosen to bring in someone in Nick that he hasn’t worked with before. He has Kevin Sinfield that he’s comfortable with having worked with him for a time now.
“But then you have Nick, who will probably look to want to unlock things slightly differently. I would say good on him for that. It will take the coaching and it will take England out of any possible comfort zone. Steve Borthwick “Steve’s a very humble man who puts loyalty right at the front of things that matter to him, and that will fit very well with Nick.
“Players are always better when they know coaches have their backs and look after them as people. You have to get to know the people to get the best out of them, and I’ve got no doubts Nick Evans will get the best out of them.” Evans himself never had designs on a coaching career, but was hooked the moment he walked into Wimbledon RFC to double up with his then playing day job at Quins.
“It wasn’t as though as a player coaching was exactly what I wanted to do,” said Evans.
“When the opportunity to coach at Quins came up, I thought I’d dip my feet in and see. “And I loved it. I loved going to Wimbledon on a Tuesday and Thursday, it reminded me of how I got into the game – people from all different walks of life and all they wanted to do was kick the stuffing out of each other! I’d be stood there saying ‘What, you want more?!’.
“Even at that level, the man-management side, who needs the arm round the shoulder, who needs a rocket, I really started to enjoy that.
And it’s just grown from there.”

Thankfully for United, they hold a 3-0 advantage in the tie after a confident display at the City Ground last week. That factor is likely to play a key role in Ten Hag’s selection, with Diogo Dalot, Axel Tuanzebe, Donny van de Beek, Scott McTominay and Anthony Martial all also expected to miss out through injury.

United went with their reserve centre-back pairing and first-choice frontline against Reading so, given the aggregate scoreline, it is plausible that the reverse could happen for this game.
However, Ten Hag has taken the cup competitions very seriously in his club’s pursuit of a first trophy in over five years, and he may opt to take no chances for the visit of Forest.

SPONSORED Fernandez had previously worn the No13 for Benfica, which is currently Marcus Bettinelli’s at Chelsea, and the No24 in Argentina’s successful World Cup campaign, which is held by Reece James. He follows in the footsteps of two fan favourite central midfielders in taking the No5, with Michael Essien a long-term holder of the shirt before Jorginho took it up in 2018.
Few options were available to the 22-year-old with the No25 jersey retired after Gianfranco Zola’s legendary spell at Stamford Bridge.
The No2 and No3 shirts remain unfilled following Antonio Rudiger and Marcos Alonso’s summer exit with the next open slots at No34 and No35.

Super sub Sanyang inspires Tadcaster to first win of season
🕦 14 hours | yorkpress
A SECOND half brace from Omar Sanyang either side of a Luke Hinsley header earned Tadcaster Albion their first win since April 2022 last night. The Brewers ground out 2-1 victory over 13th-placed Sheffield FC in their Pitching In Northern Premier League division one east clash, though still remain rooted to the foot of the table.
😍 #ATAW 💛 pic.twitter.com/tLZvSd5bSO — Tadcaster Albion (@TadcasterAlbion) January 31, 2023 Before kick-off both sides observed a minutes silence for Gary Burton, the father of former player Kieran Burton, who sadly passed away last month.
On the pitch there was very little between the two sides, and the opening ten minutes passed without any clear-cut chances for either team. The closest Tad came was through Des Amponsah, who received a pass from Raj Palit, with the forward trying to work space before being crowded out by the visiting defence.
In the 14th minute, Sheffield defender Stephen Brogan hit a dangerous free kick, which whipped wide of the post as Josh Mazfari watched on. Five minutes later, Jack Johnson saw a shot saved by the keeper after a good move from Tadcaster on the edge of the Sheffield penalty area, but the flag was up on the near side.
A whipped Palit corner was then met by Amponsah at the near post but the latter didn’t catch the strike cleanly and Gary Stevens gathered comfortably. Little after the half hour mark Sheffield created the clearest chance of the evening, but Mazfari got down excellently to his left with a strong hand to hook the ball to safety.
From the resulting corner the visitors saw a free header go wide as Sheffield created two clear opportunities in quick succession.
Sheffield then had a fortuitous chance when the ball fell kindly for Basile Zottos, but he could only slice wide from inside the box. The final action of the first half saw Luke Sharry fire a speculative effort from range which wasn’t too far away from troubling the opposition keeper.
Both sides started in a similar fashion after the interval, battling hard without managing to force the issue. Sanyang was introduced off the bench in place of the injured Theo Hudson in the 62nd minute and was quickly involved in the action A minute after entering the fray, he slid Lewis Hey in behind, but his chipped shot bounced just wide of the far post.
That proved to be a warning shot, with Tadcaster breaking the deadlock in the 76th minute. Amponsah and Palit linked up to good effect on the left before the latter laid the ball off for Sanyang.
In turn, he shifted the ball onto his right foot and expertly picked out the bottom corner with his low drive to put Taddy ahead. Shortly after taking the lead Andy Monkhouse turned to the bench again, brining Rafeal Ferreira on for Hey.
Another Brogan free kick saw Sheffield come close again, this time Mazfari was forced into a save tipping the ball over. But from the resulting corner, former Brewer Hinsley managed to get free and head in unmarked to level the scores with seven minutes remaining.
However Tadcaster wouldn’t be pegged back for long, with super sub Sanyang netting the winner four minutes later. Palit drove forward and slid the ball in behind for Sanyang, the returning forward timing his run to perfection and remaining composed before rounding the goalkeeper and slotting the ball into an empty net.
First win of the season!! What a team! Fought all the way to the end and got what we deserved! Big Thankyou to everyone involved in helping me get back after a long year out! what a feeling contributing 2 goals to help the team with our first Win of the season! #ATAW 💛💛 https://t.co/05PlmNYG1r — Omar Sanyang (@omarsanyang39) January 31, 2023 But the drama wasn’t over there.
In the aftermath of the goal, Sheffield defender Josh Burns was shown a second yellow card for dissent and the visitors were reduced to 10 men.
Then came almost nine minutes of injury time, but Tadcaster stood firm and held on to their precious lead to earned their first win of the season. A massive three points for the Brewers to take into a crucial clash with their nearest rivals Carlton Town at the SoTrak Stadium on Saturday (3pm).

“Huge asset” Button adds NASCAR Garage 56 driver change hurdle
🕦 14 hours | autosport
Button got his first seat time at Daytona in the Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 that Hendrick Motorsports will take to the Le Mans 24 Hours in June on Tuesday. Project leader Chad Knaus explained that Button has already proved a useful addition to the team, given his previous high-level international racing exploits, but his height meant it would provide an additional challenge when it comes to driver changes with the shorter Jimmie Johnson and Mike Rockenfeller .
Unlike European racing series, NASCAR machinery does not have doors, and drivers enter and exit the car through the window.
“[Before today] we’ve had him in the sim, we’ve had him in for driver fitment,” said Knaus. “One of the things that we’re learning pretty quickly is that a NASCAR-style car is not great for driver swaps. “We’ve got one guy who’s almost 6’1” [Button] and one who’s 5’8” [Rockenfeller] so that’s a bit of a challenge that we’re working through, and obviously safety is of the upmost importance to us.
Getting all of that squared away with the driver change itself. “Obviously Jenson brings a wealth of knowledge about speed limiters and pit road speeds, buttons and all of those things, he’s going to be a huge asset to us from that perspective.” Jenson Button Photo by: Garage 56 When asked to explain his rationale for adding Button to the roster, Knaus – who scored 81 wins together with Johnson as his crew chief in NASCAR Cup competition – explained he was in a dream scenario to find his “perfect mixture”.
“When it started, we wanted to have guys or gals who we considered to be elite,” he added.
“We’ve talked to a lot of different drivers, from a lot of different genres, and ending up where we did is a perfect mixture that you could ever ask for to go drive this thing and represent NASCAR at Le Mans.” Knaus also revealed that Button was impressed with the size and scale of the Hendrick facility in Concord, NC – which he wanted to see for himself after being sent a video of a drone flying through its headquarters that boasts 17 different buildings.
“Ever since he walked on to campus, he was impressed with what we’ve got,’ said Knaus.
“Obviously, under Jeff [Andrews]’s leadership, he’s built a pretty impressive place right there.
“Truth be told, Jenson came to the Sebring test a few weeks ago, he took the redeye out just so he could see and watch, and he looked at the car, sat in the car, and saw what we were doing. “You could just tell his jaw dropped, he said ‘this is a proper effort right now’.
After that, I sent him the hype video where the drone flies through Hendrick Motorsports and he sent me a text back saying, ‘you’ve got to be kidding me!’ I was like ‘yeah man, this is where we work’.” shares comments

Staying, going, in doubt: Every Wolves player's future assessed ahead of summer transfer window
We've taken a look at the futures of every member of Julen Lopetegui's Wolves squad after the end of the transfer window

Staying, going, in doubt: Every Wolves player's future assessed ahead of summer transfer window
🕦 14 hours | birminghammail
Wolverhampton Wanderers enjoyed a busy first transfer window under head coach Julen Lopetegui by making six new signings. Wolves’ owners Fosun spent £75 million on those six new players, following on from a summer in which the club forked out over £100m. Lopetegui might not have his dream Wolves squad yet, but he has one which he believes is good enough to avoid relegation to the Championship.
Inevitably, there will be more movement in the summer window. Wolves could soon have a squad which is unrecognisable from the one which Nuno Espirito Santo used in the 2018/19 Premier League season.
Now that one transfer window has ended, we have taken a look at the state of play heading into the summer. Using three categories - staying, going and in doubt - we have predicted the future of every member of Lopetegui’s first team squad.
READ: Every Wolves transfer of January window as £75m spent and 16 deals completed READ: Wolves will live or die by one transfer decision after January window slams shut Staying It goes without saying that the six new additions will be here for longer than six months.
Joao Gomes and Matheus Cunha, in particular, could have several years ahead of them at Molineux. Daniel Bentley, Craig Dawson, Mario Lemina and Pablo Sarabia are more short-term signings, but there is no reason why they can’t contribute for at least another season after this one.
It is difficult to envisage Nathan Collins, Max Kilman or Toti Gomes departing. All three have upped their game under Lopetegui and Collins and Kilman could fetch the club big transfer fees in the future. The emergence of Hugo Bueno has been a major positive this season.
Lopetegui has taken to his compatriot and his long-term future appears to be at Wolves. The same can be said for midfielders Boubacar Traore and Joe Hodge. Despite Traore’s injury problems, his loan is certain to become permanent next summer for around £9m.
Lopetegui and his coaching staff are enthusiastic about the talents of Traore and Hodge. Pedro Neto and Daniel Podence are two players with the potential to light up Molineux, but neither have done it on a consistent basis yet. Neto’s career has been derailed in the last two seasons, yet he still managed to attract interest from Arsenal in the summer.
Lopetegui has repeatedly talked up Neto’s talents and hopes to be the manager to help him realise his enormous potential. Neto and Podence will surely be part of Lopetegui’s plans going forward.
Injured duo Sasa Kalajdzic and Chiquinho could return in time for pre-season. They will be given chances to prove themselves to Lopetegui. It wouldn’t be a surprise to see Chiquinho, who will turn 23 later this week, go out on loan due to the array of wide options available to Lopetegui.

He joined Wolves last summer for £38m, yet there are suggestions he will only spend one year at Molineux. Liverpool and Chelsea, both of whom tracked Matheus before he joined Wolves in August, are believed to be interested in a summer transfer. Nelson Semedo and Jonny Castro Otto have earned reprieves under Lopetegui after dreadful starts to the season.
Right-back is one of the positions Lopetegui is expected to address in the summer, meaning Semedo and Jonny are playing for their Wolves careers. The same can be said for Jose Sa, who is being asked to adapt to a new playing style by Lopetegui.
Sa is good with his feet, but the lapse which let Erling Haaland complete a Manchester City hat-trick last time out had been coming for weeks. Sa’s form has dipped after his spectacular debut season.
Rayan Ait-Nouri and Hwang Hee-chan have been linked with moves away from Wolves in the past six months. Their futures could come under the microscope if Lopetegui signs more players. Going It is difficult to see Wolves icons Ruben Neves, Joao Moutinho and Raul Jimenez at Molineux beyond the summer.
Neves, who turns 26 in March, needs to be playing at the highest level and nobody at Wolves would begrudge him a transfer. Moutinho is one of three players whose contracts expire in the summer - the others being Adama Traore and Diego Costa - who aren’t expected to stick around.
The Portuguese midfielder is now 36 and his influence has waned this season. Adama hasn’t been able to agree a new contract in the last two-and-a-half years, so he isn’t expected to before his current deal expires in June. Diego Costa, meanwhile, was a short-term risk which hasn’t proved successful.
It seems likely Jimenez will depart after five years at Wolves. The striker’s contract expires in 18 months and it feels as though we could be watching his final matches in old gold. Very few of the players currently out on loan have long-term futures at Wolves.
Goncalo Guedes is the most notable name on the loan list and it's hard to see a way back for him at Molineux after he asked to leave in January. Agree with our assessment? Have your say in the comments section...

How Driver’s Eye camera became a Formula 1 TV gamechanger
🕦 14 hours | autosport
On-screen graphics are regularly evolving to aid fans’ understanding of F1, while fresh camera angles and techniques are constantly explored to bring the on-track action alive. But no camera angle has got as close to giving fans a true feeling of what it is like inside the F1 cockpit than Driver’s Eye.
Through a small 9mm x 9mm camera fitted to the padding of the helmet, fans are able to get a closer understanding of what the drivers can see through the visor, offering some spectacular footage. One of the finest moments last year came at the opening race in Bahrain, when Charles Leclerc and Max Verstappen duelled for a series of laps for the lead.
The F1 TV directors were able to switch to the Driver’s Eye camera in Leclerc’s helmet throughout the scrap, giving some incredible insight into how a race-winning overtake is executed from the cockpit.
Designing a camera that is capable of delivering broadcast footage while fitting within the safety requirements of the helmet was a big challenge. Alex Haristos, the chief operating officer of the Racing Force Group that founded and owns the Driver’s Eye technology, explains to Autosport that safety was the number one priority throughout development in order to gain the support of the FIA.
"We didn’t start from: ‘We need to have a camera with the best image’ - we started from safety requirements,” Haristos explains.
“We worked backwards on this. That was the challenging bit, because we found the right position next to the driver’s eye, on the liner that is the protective padding. The camera has to be smaller than the size of the liner when it bottoms out, so the face of the driver doesn’t get in touch with the camera.” Driver's Eye Camera detail Photo by: Racing Force Group A camera and the required sensors were found to fit the small space, and the wider electronics were hooked up through the car with a very thin cable into the helmet.
Haristos says it was a breakthrough after “six or seven official attempts” to integrate camera technology to the driver’s helmet.
"Ours was the first one, and it was a big success,” he says. “I didn’t even realise it at first probably, but people were waiting for it.” But there wasn’t the immediate clamour from F1 to get the technology into its coverage, prompting Haristos and his partners to talk to Formula E, who he says were “very receptive.” It proved to be the perfect development ground for Driver’s Eye, even if concerns from teams about broadcasting the footage on the steering wheel dashboards meant some elements had to be blurred out.
But long-term, the goal was always to work in F1 - and little time was wasted once the exclusivity window expired in the summer of 2021.
“After 10 days, we were in Spa with Fernando Alonso and we ran that first test,” says Haristos.
“It was extremely exciting.” Haristos recalls standing in the F1 broadcast centre along with its TV chiefs, Roberto Dalla and Dean Locke, as they watched the first F1 footage come through using Driver’s Eye.
It was only meant to be an initial test, but that quickly changed. “After a few seconds, they looked at it, and said: ‘Can we air it? We would like to air it!’” he recalls. "I said yeah, OK, let’s do that. As soon as they did that, like 30 seconds, one minute after that, all the phones in the room started ringing! Everyone wanted to know what that was.” Driver’s Eye soon escalated to become an important part of F1’s TV offering as part of a fully customised project for the series.
All drivers using Bell helmets - Bell being part of the Racing Force Group - had the cameras fitted last year, while refinements were made with the positioning of the camera to offer an improved angle and improved stabilisation, albeit without losing the rawness that makes the footage so authentic and close to what the drivers experience.
Haristos feels the technology was “very well accepted” across F1 in a win-win situation for all parties.
“We do business with Formula 1, Formula 1 is producing content and it can sell to the broadcaster, and the teams, they get more exposure,” he says. “And in a unique way for the first time, the driver gets personal exposure as well.” Driver's Eye Camera detail Photo by: Racing Force Group Zhou Guanyu joked last year the angle of Driver’s Eye made it a “nightmare for me to analyse my driving line compared to the other [cameras]”, but recognised it was “very cool footage” for fans, who remained the target audience.
“It’s more for the audience,” he added.
“But for the team, they can see what you are changing on the switches as well, which makes it less private.” Unlike Formula E, there was no blurring of the various messages or movements on the steering wheel in F1.
The success of Driver’s Eye has prompted a full roll out across the grid for 2023, as requested by the F1 Commission in a meeting last year. Haristos says the modular design of the Driver Eye camera meant it could be tweaked as needed to fit rival manufacturers’ helmets.
“The key was to develop in the first place something with already the vision of how modular it would be to adapt to different contexts,” he explains. “When we started this project, the dream scenario was that this technology would be available for everybody.
This technology was the one thing that put us [manufacturers] all working in the same direction, and we gave all the support to adapt the technology and the way we install the technology to adapt it to their helmet.
The current Driver’s Eye camera is generation 2.5, and has already reduced in weight by almost 50% (2.5g down to 1.4g) and in size from an initial 21mm x 12mm to the current 9mm x 9mm from the first generation. But as further advances are made, thought is being given to other uses even beyond motorsport.
“Skiing is a very good example,” he says. “Can you imagine going down the slope, having that immersive view? But you don’t have a car. You only have the athlete. You have safety regulations. Where do you get the power supply, and so on?” Read Also: Ben Sulayem drama will calm down once F1 racing starts, reckons Ferrari boss The Mercedes F1 pressure changes under 10 years of Toto Wolff Haas reveals F1 car livery for 2023 season Within motorsport, the interest stirred by Driver’s Eye could see it reach right across the racing world, even in closed-cockpit series like NASCAR and sportscar racing.
“The possibility to give the audience this immersive experience from the point of view of the driver is something appealing for everybody,” says Haristos.
“It’s very well received, even in closed cars.
I’m going to be at the opening of the Supercars season in Australia in March, and we’re going to roll it out there. It’s very exciting.” It may not be much use for the drivers and teams from a practical point of view, but in the Drive to Survive era where fan demand is growing to greater appreciate the driver’s experience, Driver’s Eye has broken big boundaries.

Through a small 9mm x 9mm camera fitted to the padding of the helmet, fans are able to get a closer understanding of what the drivers can see through the visor, offering some spectacular footage. One of the finest moments last year came at the opening race in Bahrain, when Charles Leclerc and Max Verstappen duelled for a series of laps for the lead.
The F1 TV directors were able to switch to the Driver’s Eye camera in Leclerc’s helmet throughout the scrap, giving some incredible insight into how a race-winning overtake is executed from the cockpit.
Designing a camera that is capable of delivering broadcast footage while fitting within the safety requirements of the helmet was a big challenge. Alex Haristos, the chief operating officer of the Racing Force Group that founded and owns the Driver’s Eye technology, explains to Autosport that safety was the number one priority throughout development in order to gain the support of the FIA.
"We didn’t start from: ‘We need to have a camera with the best image’ - we started from safety requirements,” Haristos explains.

Aston Villa strongest XI after transfer window: No Buendia, Moreno over Digne and Ramsey key

Aston Villa strongest XI after transfer window: No Buendia, Moreno over Digne and Ramsey key
🕦 14 hours | birminghammail
Despite some grumblings of Aston Villa’s lack of transfer business in January we must remember Unai Emery’s squad have just won five out of their last seven Premier League games. Villa find themselves just three points off sixth with Leicester to come at Villa Park this weekend. After the deals to bring in Alex Moreno (£12 million Real Betis) and Jhon Duran (£14.75m, Chicago Fire), plus Bertrand Traore’s loan recall, we ask our Aston Villa writers Ashley Preece and John Townley for their strongest Villa line-ups and why.
You can have your say in the comments section .
John Townley’s best Aston Villa XI After a transfer window which saw Villa add two players to Emery’s squad, the first XI won’t look a whole lot different until the start of the next campaign. Until then, the key change will be at left-back, with Moreno more suited than Digne in Emery's system.
Matty Cash has a battle on his hands to win back his place in the starting side with Ashley Young key to Villa’s upswing form in recent months. Martinez, Mings and Konsa will remain in place until Diego Carlos can prove his fitness, but it’s not clear when he will return, potentially at the end of the month.
READ MORE: Rating Aston Villa’s transfer window as Unai Emery looks to put his stamp on club READ MORE: Tyrone Mings, Ollie Watkins, Jhon Duran - Every Aston Villa contract ahead of summer window Boubacar Kamara and Douglas Luiz will continue to thrive in a midfield pivot, while further forward, Jacob Ramsey will be one of the first names on the team sheet.
A key decision for Emery to make is whether Emi Buendia or John McGinn starts in the other advanced midfield role.
For me, both players suit different opponents, with McGinn offering more security, while Buendia has that spark of magic at any given moment. McGinn shades it for me, with Villa needing more balance than creativity to see out games. Ollie Watkins and Leon Bailey will be Villa’s forward line until the summer, as Jhon Duran adapts to the English top-flight.
I’m excited to see how quickly the teenager can get up to speed. John Townley's strongest Villa XI with John McGinn and Jacob Ramsey on the flanks Aston Villa (4-2-2-2): Martinez; Young, Konsa, Mings, Moreno; Kamara, Luiz; McGinn, Ramsey; Bailey, Watkins.
Ashley Preece’s best Aston Villa XI I’m pretty OK with Villa’s January window on the whole. Alex Moreno looks a really decent addition at left-back for 12 million quid while sporting director Johan Lange is very excited about Jhon Duran’s Premier League potential.
Unlike my colleague John, I’m flinging Unai Emery’s clipboard on the floor here (sorry, Unai!) and going with a Martin O’Neill-esque 4-3-3. The G.O.A.T Emi Martinez will start in goal while, at the back, Ashley Young, Ezri Konsa and Tyrone Mings are undroppable at present.
It’s then a toss-up between the fit-again Lucas Digne and new boy Moreno. I go with the latter for his pace and ability to get up and down. Ashley Preece's strongest Villa XI in a new-look formation Into midfield and Boubacar Kamara and Douglas Luiz can be Villa’s double pivot again and I’ll be telling Jacob Ramsey just to run riot ahead of them.
Not that Emery likes chaos, mind. In the forward positions, Leon Bailey will start down the right and I’ll have Ollie Watkins down the left with big Jhon Duran hopefully morphing into a John Carew or, better still, a Christian Benteke as the goals begin to flow.
Aston Villa (4-3-3): Martinez; Young, Konsa, Mings, Moreno; Kamara, Luiz, Ramsey; Bailey, Duran, Watkins. What do you think is Villa's strongest XI? Have your say in the comments section...

Neil Etheridge says he is proud to have highlighted the alleged racial abuse aimed at him in Saturday’s FA Cup draw at Blackburn Rovers. Blues were knocked out of the competition in last night’s replay, with Etheridge beaten by Auston Trusty ’s own goal in extra time, just three days after the first tie ended in unsavoury circumstances.
Jordan James had just equalised for Blues at Ewood Park when Etheridge made the complaint to referee Keith Stroud. The game was delayed for several minutes while both managers were spoken to and Blues and Rovers quickly issued statements on the allegations.

In an ideal world the January transfer window is for other clubs. The ones that are desperate for reinforcements to fire them away from the relegation zone or to reinvigorate a failing push for Europe or appease a restless fanbase. If your club’s doing well, you can just watch on from the sidelines in January as increasingly desperate teams shell out increasingly over-the-top fees on increasingly over-hyped players.
Heck, you may even be able to take advantage by moving on one of your out-of-favour players for an inflated price.

Some Aston Villa fans were frustrated by the club's underwhelming final weeks of the January transfer window, but it wasn't for the lack of trying. Unai Emery is determined to build a team which is capable of consistently challenging for European football. That will only happen if Villa improve their first XI, allowing the overall squad to improve with more competition for places following the arrivals of quality individuals.
There was money available for Emery to spend last month and he will be backed heavily in the summer window by owners Nassef Sawiris and Wes Edens.
But shelling out huge transfer fees just because Villa happen to be three points from the top six is a short-term approach which the club's ownership do not want to be tempted into. READ MORE: Aston Villa set up summer spending spree after January transfer decision READ MORE: A big £400m frustration and the truth of Aston Villa summer window transfer plan Granted, if Villa broke their transfer record twice last month, Emery's squad would have improved, but simply put, every club is reluctant to sell their top players halfway through the season.
An experienced striker was of interest after the sale of Danny Ings, but Emery doesn't want to stockpile players who he sees no use for in the long-term.
Liverpool and Chelsea are both enduring poor seasons, so far, but Villa can forget about competition for the top seven - if they get their own house in order and trust Emery's decision making, they'll get there, just like Leicester City and West Ham have done in recent years.
Villa will then become the latest club to threaten the upper echelons of English football.
The difference is, Villa intend to stick at the top, not only qualify for European football one season and struggle to cope with those demands in the years to follow. Therefore, Emery will only sign the players who he knows will improve his squad, rather than plug gaps for short-term gain.

'Reminder to Chelsea fans: we’re top of the League, you’re 10th, and we’re 21pts ahead of you with a game in hand.
So spend all the gazillions you want but what you REALLY need to buy is a telescope to look up at Arsenal,' Morgan wrote on Twitter with a picture of the Premier League table to accompany it.

Terry was also quick to remind Morgan that Arsenal still have half the season to play in their pursuit to become Premier League champions in nearly 20 years.
Terry responded: 'You have gone missing for 20 years! And you still have a long way to go… I have won more trophies since I retired playing golf than Arsenal have.' While Terry's claim that he's had more success than Arsenal away from the pitch is made in jest, the possibility of Arsenal winning their first league title in just under two decades is a distinct possibility.
Mikel Arteta's side are currently flying at the top of the Premier League table Morgan tweeted that Chelsea fans need a telescope to look up at Arsenal give the huge gap And with Chelsea currently trailing the Gunners by 21 points, Graham Potter has a real task on his hands to bridge that gap.
Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly has looked to back his manager in the market, signing eight new players before the window slammed shut on Tuesday at 11pm.
It has seen the Blues fork out £323m in the process, with their deadline day signing Enzo Fernandez - who they spent a British record £107m fee on - is yet to be officially unveiled hours after the window closed.
And with Chelsea currently languishing in 10th, Boehly will be hoping he can get an almighty return on his significant investment into the squad.

LIVE TRANSFER NEWS LIVE: Chelsea are set to announce £107m Enzo Fernandez deal while Hakim Ziyech's loan move to Paris Saint-Germain remains in jeopardy... plus all the latest after Sabitzer and Jorginho sealed moves to Man Utd and Arsenal By Dan Ripley and Sam Mcevoy For Mailonline Published: 02:16 EST, 31 January 2023 | Updated: 04:16 EST, 1 February 2023 e-mail 380 shares 488 View comments Follow Sportsmail's live blog as we bring you all the latest news and reaction following a frantic deadline day.
Charlotte Daly Host commentator Dan Ripley Host commentator Sam McEvoy Host commentator 09:16 Roma outcast Nicolo Zaniolo left Roma furious after he refused to meet Bournemouth officials who had flown in to meet for talks Roma outcast Nicolo Zaniolo reportedly changed his mind on joining Bournemouth on deadline day - despite brutally snubbing them last week - but left it too late, with the Cherries rejecting the move after 'spending enough money'.
Zaniolo had been targeted by a number of clubs this month after making it clear he wanted to leave Jose Mourinho's side, with the Portuguese manager claiming the player had refused to train at the club.
Despite being linked with Tottenham and AC Milan, the 23-year-old was approached by the Cherries, who sent representatives out to Italy to hold talks over a move.

Mail Online 09:05 Roger Schmidt hits out at Enzo Fernandez over his record-breaking £107m move to Chelsea - and insists he only wants players who are 'happy to play' for the Portuguese club It has not taken long for Benfica boss Roger Schmidt to make it clear how he feels about Enzo Fernandez's British record move to Chelsea.
The 22-year-old World Cup winner, who was Chelsea's No 1 January target, signed for a sensational £107million on an an eight-and-a-half year deal through to June 2031.
At one point, it looked as though Chelsea would fail to get the deal for the 22-year-old World Cup winner over the line - but both parties finally made a breakthrough just minutes before the 11pm deadline.

Mail Online 09:03 Chelsea legend Zola says Jorginho will become 'THE MAN' for Mikel Arteta and insists he is 'a player who never hides and you can rely on' Speaking to The Sun , Zola said: 'If you are a team that wants to be organised, a passing team, then Jorgo is the man.
He is always in the right place supporting defenders and the other midfielders when they have the ball. 'He is always available when the ball is becoming hot.
This is a player who never hides and you can rely on him all the time. A lot of players under pressure don’t want the ball but Jorgo is not one of them. 'When you have a player who does not hide when you need to control a game under pressure, you value him a lot. Maybe at times people don’t see this.' 08:54 UPDATE: The Ligue de Football's legal committee will meet at 10.30am to discuss Hakim Ziyech's loan move to PSG The LFP's legal committee will meet at 10.30am to discuss the situation regarding Hakim Ziyech's loan move to Paris Saint-Germain - according to L’Equipe.
The expectation is that it will be difficult for the LFP - France's governing body - to respond favourably to PSG's request, although the organisation have also been embroiled in the fiasco.
The report adds that the LFP also had an issue on deadline day as their computer systems experienced a breakdown late on Tuesday evening - which may play a factor in PSG's appeal being successful.

Mail Online 08:21 Welcome back! Hello and welcome back to Sportsmail's live blog for the January transfer window.
Deadline day and has been and gone, but there is still plenty to talk about. We will bringing you all the latest news as it happens so make sure you stay tuned. 01:02 That's a wrap... I think that pretty much confirms all the major deals that could have been completed tonight, so we are going to call time on our live coverage.
Thank you for joining us throughout the day. Be sure to catch all the fallout tomorrow morning on the homepage . Thank you for following! 00:45 DONE DEAL: Manchester United have agreed a deal to send Axel Tuanzebe on loan to Stoke City until the end of the season SIMON JONES: Axel Tuanzebe has joined Stoke City on loan until the end of the season, with the club keen for the defender to gain some first-team experience away from Old Trafford.
Manchester United defender Axel Tuanzebe joins Stoke on loan Manchester United's Axel Tuanzebe has joined Stoke City on loan until the end of the season with no option or obligation to buy.
Mail Online 00:41 DONE DEAL: Fulham complete the signing of Cedric Soares from Arsenal on loan Fulham have left it late on deadline day but it's been a decent one for them with Soares joining Sasa Lukic in arriving at Craven Cottage, sealing a loan move having dropped down the pecking order at Arsenal.
North London ➡️ South West London. Great to have you on board, @OficialCedric . #AcédIt ♠️ | #FFC — Fulham Football Club (@FulhamFC) February 1, 2023 00:37 BREAKING NEWS: Enzo Fernandez has completed his move to Chelsea from Benfica for a British transfer record of £105m Benfica have now removed him from their website, and the confirmation is in that the deal is complete.
Chelsea have left it late - but FINALLY the get their man.
Chelsea 'finally agree a deal with Enzo Fernandes' Chelsea have 'agreed a deal with Benfica for midfielder' Enzo Fernandez. Mail Online 00:31 DONE DEAL(S): Southampton announce TWO late signings to wrap up their window! The pair of Paul Onuachu and Kamaldeen Sulemana arrive for £40m, with the latter's arrival of £22.5 making him a club record signing.
Southampton sign Kamaldeen Sulemana and Genk striker Paul Onuachu Genk striker Onuachu, meanwhile joins for £18.5m, with the 28-year-old signing a three-and-a-half-year contract at St Mary's.
Mail Online 00:24 Have we saved the biggest until last though? And by biggest I mean Chelsea's bid to smash the British transfer record by signing Enzo Fernandez from Benfica for £105million. The good news for the Blues is that it looks like they did get a deal sheet in place for the move to go ahead.
The bad news is if you ask PSG you can't be sure it's been filled in properly given the collapse of the Ziyech deal due to apparent errors. We are probably nearing towards this one being completed though.
00:11 BREAKING NEWS: Manchester United complete the signing of Marcel Sabitzer on loan from Bayern Munich Talk of the devil! We don't need to speculate anymore as United have now confirmed the Marcel Sabitzer loan signing from Bayern Munich until the summer.
He said: 'Sometimes in life you have to make quick and important decisions. From the moment I heard about this opportunity I knew it was right for me. I am a competitive player; I want to win and help the club achieve its aims this season.' United complete loan signing of Bayern midfielder Marcel Sabitzer Sabitzer has found himself frozen out at Bayern Munich this season and has not started a game since before the World Cup in early November - during their 2-0 win against Inter Milan.
Mail Online 00:10 Marcel Sabitzer has now LEFT the Manchester United training ground Has he signed? He left Carrington about 20 minutes ago after spending four hours at the training ground.
There was a deal sheet for him and by FIFA rules that deal should be officially confirmed on paper at least, as there was a midnight deadline for that.
On that basis, with media duties probably already being taken care of, there was not much point in Sabitzer sticking around. There certainly seems to be no sign of panic at Old Trafford and that we are still only waiting for official confirmation.
00:03 DONE DEAL: West Bromwich Albion sign Marc Albrighton on loan from Leicester City until the end of the season In the meantime, here is a signing. Albrighton is another Premier League title winner out of the door at the King Power Stadium as he departs across the Midlands to join the Championship Baggies.
00:02 It's not just the end of the January transfer window, but the end of January too... But as we enter February, we still wait on Chelsea's pursuit of Enzo Fernandez and Manchester United's chase for Marcel Sabitzer.
23:56 What can PSG actually do with this appeal though? Granted, I don't have the full nature of the complaint, but if the paperwork has not been completed properly how on earth can PSG get around it? Reminds me of the time Real Madrid missed out on signing David de Gea from Manchester United because of a dodgy fax machine.
23:50 The blame game is already underway regarding Ziyech's collapsing move to PSG - and the French champions are very keen to point the finger at the Blues it seems SIMON JONES: PSG are preparing to lodge an appeal in the morning regarding Ziyech paperwork being submitted too late for registration.
Reports in France last night alleged Chelsea had sent the wrong documentation on several occasions. 23:37 BREAKING NEWS: Hakim Ziyech's move to Paris Saint-Germain in jeopardy after an issue with the paperwork, with both PSG and Chelsea 'now looking for a solution' Hakim Ziyech's proposed loan move to Paris Saint-Germain has hit a serious snag after an issue with his contract.
The deal is being held up after an issue with paperwork being submitted too late.
That's going to be a tough one to iron out. Looks like the former Ajax winger, who was very keen on a move to France could be forced to see out the season at Stamford Bridge. Ziyech's move to PSG in jeopardy after an issue with the paperwork Hakim Ziyech's loan move to Paris Saint-Germain has hit a serious snag after an issue with his contract.
Mail Online 23:33 DONE DEAL: Harry Souttar completes £15m move from Stoke City to Leicester City TOM COLLOMOSSE: Harry Souttar has become Leicester’s third major signing of the transfer window by completing a £15million move from Stoke.
The centre-back has been courted by the Foxes throughout the winter as boss Brendan Rodgers’ looked to add height and presence to his struggling side’s defensive ranks. Souttar said: ‘Challenging myself in the Premier League is an opportunity I couldn’t turn down and I can’t wait to get started.’ Souttar follows left-back Victor Kristiansen and winger Tete to King Power Stadium this month as Leicester fight relegation.
They also tried to sign Jack Harrison from Leeds but the winger was not convinced at the prospect of moving to another struggling side.
Leicester sign Socceroos star Harry Souttar in $26m deal from Stoke Harry Souttar has become the most expensive Australian footballer ever after completing a £15million move to Leicester, with the defender signing a five-and-a-half-year deal.
Mail Online 23:26 Door is pretty much shut at Everton for this evening There are no deal sheets for Everton which means no transfers are coming in at Goodison Park - the only club in the Premier League not to make a signing in January. They exit the month weaker than when they went into it having lost Anthony Gordon to Newcastle too.
It's the worst possible transfer window for the club. What a disaster, even if they can still sign free agent Ayew. Sean Dyche stopping to sign autographs and take a few selfies as he leaves Finch Farm at 939pm.
That’s a sign that business is closing for the night here at least 🔵 pic.twitter.com/gswWMNIXSM — Dominic King (@DominicKing_DM) January 31, 2023 23:19 DONE DEAL: Nottingham Forest just keep on going on what is an extraordinary deadline day for them with the signing of Keylor Navas from PSG TOM COLLOMOSSE: Keylor Navas has joined Nottingham Forest on loan until the end of the season in a deadline-beating move from Paris St Germain.
The three-times Champions League winner will provide experienced competition for goalkeeper Dean Henderson, who is currently sidelined with a thigh injury.
That means Navas, 36, could make his debut against Leeds on Sunday provided all the relevant paperwork has been finalised. As revealed by Sportsmail on January 24, Navas was always Forest’s No1 choice once Henderson was injured, and despite the threat of late hitches they have got the deal over the line.

Mail Online 23:08 Chelsea see transfer move collapse... Sorry, couldn't resist that headline given the Fernandez situation being as delicate as it is. One deal not going ahead though at Stamford Bridge according to our man SIMON JONES is January singing Datro Fofana's proposed loan deal to Nice, which has fallen through.
23:04 Manchester United's deal for Marcel Sabitzer enters 'extra-time' via one of those deal sheets SIMON JONES: Manchester united have placed their deal sheet in for Marcel Sabitzer and have until 12-midnight to complete the formalities of the midfielder's loan from Bayern Munich.

Mail Online 23:00 DONE DEAL: Jonjo Shelvey has completed his move from Newcastle to Nottingham Forest TOM COLLOMOSSE: Jonjo Shelvey has completed his move from Newcastle to Nottingham Forest and signed a two-and-a-half-year deal with the Premier League strugglers.
The England international said his goodbyes to the Magpies during their Carabao Cup meeting with Southampton on Tuesday before finalising his agreement with Forest.
Shelvey said: ‘I spoke to (Newcastle boss) Eddie Howe and he had such good words to say about Steve Cooper. I previously knew of him from my time at Liverpool, so I knew what a fantastic coach he was, but meeting him for the first time has been a breath of fresh air.
‘He’s told me what he expects and the high standards he sets, so I can hope I can come and help the team push to stay in the Premier League. I’ve been in this league a long time, I know what it takes to stay up and what it takes to get a good team to gel.’ Forest were also expecting to conclude a loan deal for Paris St Germain goalkeeper Keylor Navas before the window closed.

Mail Online 23:00 THE TRANSFER WINDOW HAS NOW CLOSED 22:56 Just FIVE minutes to go until the end of the transfer window... Don't panic though Chelsea and even Manchester United fans.
Both of those deals respectively for Fernandez and Sabitzer still have agreements and their confirmation can still come after the 11pm deadline. What I'm saying is don't log off yet everyone! We will be sticking around long after the transfer window closes. Still plenty to come...
22:51 BREAKING NEWS:Tottenham CONFIRM the £42m signing of wing-back Pedro Porro from Sporting Lisbon... as the Spaniard joins on an initial loan with an obligation to buy following protracted talks between the two clubs Spurs leaving it until the very last moments before the deadline to finally get their man in.

Mail Online 22:40 Everton face wrath of supporters yet again as angry protesters descend on their Finch Farm training ground after they fail to sign a striker, despite owner Farhad Moshiri promising they would bring one in this month Owner Farhad Moshiri had promised in a video recorded on January 19 that Everton would "sign a striker" but despite looking at a number of options, there was still no sign of the new face they so desperately need arriving.
Angry Everton supporters descend on their Finch Farm training ground DOMINIC KING: It has been one of the most rancorous periods in the club's history and the fact they were the only club not to buy a player during the window will do little to ease the tension for Everton.
Mail Online 22:37 From former Everton midfielder Don Hutchinson on Twitter I’ve really got to feel for Everton fans tonight.
The club took an age to appoint S Dyche then don’t give him one single player in this window to help him keep the club up.
💙 — Don Hutchison (@donhutch4) January 31, 2023 22:22 Nottingham Forest are proving rather busy today... even tonight... as they now have a deal in place to sign Keylor Navas from PSG TOM COLLOMOSSE: IT was off, it was on, it was off… and now it’s back on again: Nottingham Forest have an agreement in place to sign Keylor Navas from Paris St Germain.
The goalkeeper, who won the Champions League three times with Real Madrid, would arrive on loan and provide experienced competition for Dean Henderson, who is currently out injured.
Forest already have a deal in place to sign midfielder Jonjo Shelvey from Newcastle and had not given up hope of signing Angelo Gabriel, though time is running out to secure the capture of 18-year-old winger. 22:13 DONE DEAL: Atletico Madrid confirm the signing of former Tottenham full-back Matt Doherty We already heard how Doherty had his contract cancelled by Tottenham and that has now paved the way for him to join Atletico Madrid on a free transfer.
I'm still scratching my head over this one. How on earth has this developed? Diego Simeone's side have before though signed an unwanted full-back from Spurs in Kieran Trippier and that worked out well for them...
Atletico Madrid sign Matt Doherty after Spurs terminate his contract Atletico Madrid have announced the signing of Matt Doherty on a contract until the end of the season, after Tottenham agreed to mutually terminate the full back's deal.
Mail Online 22:12 Everton though are going down the route of signing Andre Ayew At the very least, Everton don't have to worry deadline day as SIMON JONES reports that they are now focusing on a deal to sign striker and free agent Andre Ayew.
22:10 Leicester City title winner Marc Albrighton is on the verge of joining West Bromwich Albion on loan TOM COLLOMOSSE: Marc Albrighton is closing in on a loan move to West Bromwich Albion – which would leave Jamie Vardy as the final member of Leicester’s title-winning squad still at the club.
The experienced winger would fulfil Albion’s need for a wide man and is thought to be keen on the move, with Carlos Corberan’s side chasing a play-off spot. It would mean Leicester losing both Albrighton and Ayoze Perez on deadline day, leaving boss Brendan Rodgers with Tete and Harvey Barnes as his only orthodox wingers, though both Dennis Praet, James Maddison and the recovering Ricardo Pereira can also play in those roles.
Elsewhere, out-of-favour defender Jannik Vestergaard has held talks with Monaco but a move at this stage looks unlikely.
22:08 Meanwhile, it's back to square one at Everton... Sporstmail's SIMON JONES now understands that Everton have been turned down by Palace in their approach for Mateta.
Somebody do some business with Everton... please? It's just cruel at this point! 22:01 Matt Doherty has had his contract TERMINATED by Tottenham Who was expecting this?! Only Tottenham, it's not even by conventional standards either. It's not due to a falling out but so that full-back can bypass some FIFA rulings so he is free to join Atletico Madrid.
We have mutually agreed to the termination of Matt Doherty’s contract to enable him to join another club. Thank you for everything, Doc 💙 — Tottenham Hotspur (@SpursOfficial) January 31, 2023 22:01 ONE HOUR TO GO...

Mail Online 21:44 Time to start talking about deal sheets? "Deal what, Dan?" Deal sheets. The less glamorous side of the transfer window outside of glitzy unveilings. It gives teams the chance to get a deal done two hours after the closure of the transfer window which is at 11pm.
Chelsea may need one in regards to their chase for Enzo Fernandez. They have less than 90 minutes to get an agreement at least in place now - a crucial part of the two hour extension. Otherwise time is still running out here in this really tense stand off over the fee.

Jamie Carragher says Jorginho will be vital for Arsenal in run-in Concerns were that his playing style not fitting the system that has propelled Arsenal to the top of the table, but Carragher insisted his importance lies in his trophy-winning expertise.
Mail Online 21:31 It's all gone very quiet in Tottenham's chase for Pedro Porro hasn't it? It seems like Spurs have really dragged this out but having already let Djed Spence leave on loan, it's unlikely their chase for a new wing-back is going to collapse now. In fact it is understood Porro has already signed his Spurs deal and it's just a matter of communication teams getting their ducks in a row in terms of making an announcement.
21:23 Palace's late bid for Anthony Elanga could have effects elsewhere too... Sadly Everton fans, it's your side - again.
It now looks like the Manchester United striker will not be going to Goodison Park. In addition, Fulham and Crystal Palace's transfers today also mean the Toffees are the only club yet to make a signing this month...

Reports suggested his agent offered the former Spain star out to United before they turned him down for a Sabitzer pursuit. I can't claim to know why he has found himself on the fringes at the Bernabeu, to Sevilla then nowhere at all, but surely there is a Premier League club who should be rolling the dice with this.
Everton? 18:30 Still no breakthrough for Chelsea's pursuit of Enzo Fernandez That's not to say a deal is dead, or even dying. But right now Chelsea and Benfica are at a stalemate over the structure of this transfer.
The £115m fee isn't in question - it's how it is paid. Benfica want it in cash up front (hopefully stuffed in a suitcase like the movies) but the Blues want to structure it over multiple installments. Benfica are really digging deep that their demands are met here.

I have to admit I completely forgot about him at Bayern Munich.
It's not really worked for him there has it? He looks to be the perfect January signing. He's a talented central midfielder and for a loan move at the very least that's an excellent transfer for any Premier League side - even if this one is to cover Christian Eriksen's injury.
Is there room for both of them at the club though? Man United are interested in signing Bayern Munich's Marcel Sabitzer The Red Devils are looking to strengthen their midfield after losing Christian Eriksen to injury for the next three months and Sabitzer has emerged as a target as he searches for more game time.

The Championship club have been braced for the Australian’s exit throughout the window and he would provide the height and presence Leicester have lacked at the back this season.
As long as the final details do not present any problems, Souttar’s arrival may allow Leicester to move one of Caglar Soyuncu or Jannik Vestergaard before the window closes. Vestergaard, who must rank as one of the least successful signing in the club’s history, has interest from Hertha Berlin.
Soyuncu has a verbal agreement to join Atletico Madrid on a free transfer at the end of the season but could move to Spain early for a relatively small fee. Leicester are also open to letting Ayoze Perez leave in this window though this may depend on whether they can sign another winger first.

Everton were chasing him. But if there’s a deal to be done, I hear West Ham are interested. May not happen, of course - last January, West Ham tried to get Kalvin Phillips from Leeds and didn’t. But we’ll see where the Gallagher rumour takes us today.
Personally speaking, the energetic Gallagher would be a super addition to West Ham.

PETE JENSON: Barcelona could take one of the stars of last year’s World Cup Sofyan Amrabat on loan until the end of the season if his club, Fiorentina agree to let him leave.
Both the Catalan club and the player have agreed on the switch so the decision rests with the Serie A side. Barca had been told they could not register the new contracts of midfielder Gavi and defender Ronald Araujo last week so the signing would shock their La Liga rivals.
But they were denied the right to register Gavi because his contract affects their permitted squad spend for next season. The Catalan giants have also been unable to register a new deal for former Chelsea defender Marcos Alonso as it would take them over their salary cap.
Loaning Amrabat would only affect this season’s fair play rules and they have around £8.7m wriggle room after the departure of Gerard Pique and Memphis Depay.

Mail Online 08:17 Manchester United will decide the immediate futures of Anthony Elanga and Facundo Pellistri TODAY The futures of Anthony Elanga and Facundo Pellistri will be decided today by Manchester United as they weigh up loan moves for the duo. Erik ten Hag has been considering whether to send both Swedish forward Elanga and Uruguayan winger Pellistri out on loan to increase their game time.
United's head decision-makers will meet on Tuesday to determine both Elanga and Pellistri's immediate futures and whether they will be allowed to leave the club.
Elanga is keen to leave Old Trafford after finding himself a peripheral figure under Ten Hag following his breakthrough season under Ralf Rangnick. PSV Eindhoven, Borussia Dortmund and five Premier League clubs - including struggling Everton - are keen to sign him.
Uruguayan Pellistri finds himself in a similar situation and might be granted a loan move on deadline day despite Ten Hag previously stating his desire to keep the youth prospect at the club. Pellistri has quietly gone about his business since arriving at Man United in 2020 and only recently made his competitive first-team debut in the side's League Cup victory over Charlton.
The 21-year-old was previously sent on loan to Deportivo Alavés and is keen to get more first-team minutes whether that be at United or elsewhere.

The Foxes are in a relegation battle and without Maddison, their chances of survival decrease – especially as they would have little time to source a replacement. The summer is a different matter, though. Maddison’s contract expires at the end of next season so the next transfer window represents Leicester’s last chance to get a fee that reflects his worth.

They also want another winger and another central midfielder as they have a lot of players out.

Charlotte Daly Host commentator Dan Ripley Host commentator Sam McEvoy Host commentator 09:16 Roma outcast Nicolo Zaniolo left Roma furious after he refused to meet Bournemouth officials who had flown in to meet for talks Roma outcast Nicolo Zaniolo reportedly changed his mind on joining Bournemouth on deadline day - despite brutally snubbing them last week - but left it too late, with the Cherries rejecting the move after 'spending enough money'.
Zaniolo had been targeted by a number of clubs this month after making it clear he wanted to leave Jose Mourinho's side, with the Portuguese manager claiming the player had refused to train at the club.
Despite being linked with Tottenham and AC Milan, the 23-year-old was approached by the Cherries, who sent representatives out to Italy to hold talks over a move.

The 22-year-old World Cup winner, who was Chelsea's No 1 January target, signed for a sensational £107million on an an eight-and-a-half year deal through to June 2031.
At one point, it looked as though Chelsea would fail to get the deal for the 22-year-old World Cup winner over the line - but both parties finally made a breakthrough just minutes before the 11pm deadline.

Mail Online 09:03 Chelsea legend Zola says Jorginho will become 'THE MAN' for Mikel Arteta and insists he is 'a player who never hides and you can rely on' Speaking to The Sun , Zola said: 'If you are a team that wants to be organised, a passing team, then Jorgo is the man.
He is always in the right place supporting defenders and the other midfielders when they have the ball. 'He is always available when the ball is becoming hot.
This is a player who never hides and you can rely on him all the time. A lot of players under pressure don’t want the ball but Jorgo is not one of them.

Maybe at times people don’t see this.' 08:54 UPDATE: The Ligue de Football's legal committee will meet at 10.30am to discuss Hakim Ziyech's loan move to PSG The LFP's legal committee will meet at 10.30am to discuss the situation regarding Hakim Ziyech's loan move to Paris Saint-Germain - according to L’Equipe.
The expectation is that it will be difficult for the LFP - France's governing body - to respond favourably to PSG's request, although the organisation have also been embroiled in the fiasco.
The report adds that the LFP also had an issue on deadline day as their computer systems experienced a breakdown late on Tuesday evening - which may play a factor in PSG's appeal being successful.

Deadline day and has been and gone, but there is still plenty to talk about. We will bringing you all the latest news as it happens so make sure you stay tuned. 01:02 That's a wrap... I think that pretty much confirms all the major deals that could have been completed tonight, so we are going to call time on our live coverage.
Thank you for joining us throughout the day. Be sure to catch all the fallout tomorrow morning on the homepage . Thank you for following! 00:45 DONE DEAL: Manchester United have agreed a deal to send Axel Tuanzebe on loan to Stoke City until the end of the season SIMON JONES: Axel Tuanzebe has joined Stoke City on loan until the end of the season, with the club keen for the defender to gain some first-team experience away from Old Trafford.

Mail Online 00:41 DONE DEAL: Fulham complete the signing of Cedric Soares from Arsenal on loan Fulham have left it late on deadline day but it's been a decent one for them with Soares joining Sasa Lukic in arriving at Craven Cottage, sealing a loan move having dropped down the pecking order at Arsenal.
North London ➡️ South West London. Great to have you on board, @OficialCedric . #AcédIt ♠️ | #FFC — Fulham Football Club (@FulhamFC) February 1, 2023 00:37 BREAKING NEWS: Enzo Fernandez has completed his move to Chelsea from Benfica for a British transfer record of £105m Benfica have now removed him from their website, and the confirmation is in that the deal is complete.
Chelsea have left it late - but FINALLY the get their man.
Chelsea 'finally agree a deal with Enzo Fernandes' Chelsea have 'agreed a deal with Benfica for midfielder' Enzo Fernandez. Mail Online 00:31 DONE DEAL(S): Southampton announce TWO late signings to wrap up their window! The pair of Paul Onuachu and Kamaldeen Sulemana arrive for £40m, with the latter's arrival of £22.5 making him a club record signing.
Southampton sign Kamaldeen Sulemana and Genk striker Paul Onuachu Genk striker Onuachu, meanwhile joins for £18.5m, with the 28-year-old signing a three-and-a-half-year contract at St Mary's.
Mail Online 00:24 Have we saved the biggest until last though? And by biggest I mean Chelsea's bid to smash the British transfer record by signing Enzo Fernandez from Benfica for £105million. The good news for the Blues is that it looks like they did get a deal sheet in place for the move to go ahead.
The bad news is if you ask PSG you can't be sure it's been filled in properly given the collapse of the Ziyech deal due to apparent errors. We are probably nearing towards this one being completed though.
00:11 BREAKING NEWS: Manchester United complete the signing of Marcel Sabitzer on loan from Bayern Munich Talk of the devil! We don't need to speculate anymore as United have now confirmed the Marcel Sabitzer loan signing from Bayern Munich until the summer.
He said: 'Sometimes in life you have to make quick and important decisions. From the moment I heard about this opportunity I knew it was right for me. I am a competitive player; I want to win and help the club achieve its aims this season.' United complete loan signing of Bayern midfielder Marcel Sabitzer Sabitzer has found himself frozen out at Bayern Munich this season and has not started a game since before the World Cup in early November - during their 2-0 win against Inter Milan.
Mail Online 00:10 Marcel Sabitzer has now LEFT the Manchester United training ground Has he signed? He left Carrington about 20 minutes ago after spending four hours at the training ground.
There was a deal sheet for him and by FIFA rules that deal should be officially confirmed on paper at least, as there was a midnight deadline for that.
On that basis, with media duties probably already being taken care of, there was not much point in Sabitzer sticking around. There certainly seems to be no sign of panic at Old Trafford and that we are still only waiting for official confirmation.
00:03 DONE DEAL: West Bromwich Albion sign Marc Albrighton on loan from Leicester City until the end of the season In the meantime, here is a signing. Albrighton is another Premier League title winner out of the door at the King Power Stadium as he departs across the Midlands to join the Championship Baggies.
00:02 It's not just the end of the January transfer window, but the end of January too... But as we enter February, we still wait on Chelsea's pursuit of Enzo Fernandez and Manchester United's chase for Marcel Sabitzer.
23:56 What can PSG actually do with this appeal though? Granted, I don't have the full nature of the complaint, but if the paperwork has not been completed properly how on earth can PSG get around it? Reminds me of the time Real Madrid missed out on signing David de Gea from Manchester United because of a dodgy fax machine.
23:50 The blame game is already underway regarding Ziyech's collapsing move to PSG - and the French champions are very keen to point the finger at the Blues it seems SIMON JONES: PSG are preparing to lodge an appeal in the morning regarding Ziyech paperwork being submitted too late for registration.
Reports in France last night alleged Chelsea had sent the wrong documentation on several occasions. 23:37 BREAKING NEWS: Hakim Ziyech's move to Paris Saint-Germain in jeopardy after an issue with the paperwork, with both PSG and Chelsea 'now looking for a solution' Hakim Ziyech's proposed loan move to Paris Saint-Germain has hit a serious snag after an issue with his contract.
The deal is being held up after an issue with paperwork being submitted too late.
That's going to be a tough one to iron out. Looks like the former Ajax winger, who was very keen on a move to France could be forced to see out the season at Stamford Bridge. Ziyech's move to PSG in jeopardy after an issue with the paperwork Hakim Ziyech's loan move to Paris Saint-Germain has hit a serious snag after an issue with his contract.
Mail Online 23:33 DONE DEAL: Harry Souttar completes £15m move from Stoke City to Leicester City TOM COLLOMOSSE: Harry Souttar has become Leicester’s third major signing of the transfer window by completing a £15million move from Stoke.
The centre-back has been courted by the Foxes throughout the winter as boss Brendan Rodgers’ looked to add height and presence to his struggling side’s defensive ranks. Souttar said: ‘Challenging myself in the Premier League is an opportunity I couldn’t turn down and I can’t wait to get started.’ Souttar follows left-back Victor Kristiansen and winger Tete to King Power Stadium this month as Leicester fight relegation.
They also tried to sign Jack Harrison from Leeds but the winger was not convinced at the prospect of moving to another struggling side.
Leicester sign Socceroos star Harry Souttar in $26m deal from Stoke Harry Souttar has become the most expensive Australian footballer ever after completing a £15million move to Leicester, with the defender signing a five-and-a-half-year deal.
Mail Online 23:26 Door is pretty much shut at Everton for this evening There are no deal sheets for Everton which means no transfers are coming in at Goodison Park - the only club in the Premier League not to make a signing in January. They exit the month weaker than when they went into it having lost Anthony Gordon to Newcastle too.
It's the worst possible transfer window for the club. What a disaster, even if they can still sign free agent Ayew. Sean Dyche stopping to sign autographs and take a few selfies as he leaves Finch Farm at 939pm.
That’s a sign that business is closing for the night here at least 🔵 pic.twitter.com/gswWMNIXSM — Dominic King (@DominicKing_DM) January 31, 2023 23:19 DONE DEAL: Nottingham Forest just keep on going on what is an extraordinary deadline day for them with the signing of Keylor Navas from PSG TOM COLLOMOSSE: Keylor Navas has joined Nottingham Forest on loan until the end of the season in a deadline-beating move from Paris St Germain.
The three-times Champions League winner will provide experienced competition for goalkeeper Dean Henderson, who is currently sidelined with a thigh injury.
That means Navas, 36, could make his debut against Leeds on Sunday provided all the relevant paperwork has been finalised. As revealed by Sportsmail on January 24, Navas was always Forest’s No1 choice once Henderson was injured, and despite the threat of late hitches they have got the deal over the line.

The England international said his goodbyes to the Magpies during their Carabao Cup meeting with Southampton on Tuesday before finalising his agreement with Forest.
Shelvey said: ‘I spoke to (Newcastle boss) Eddie Howe and he had such good words to say about Steve Cooper. I previously knew of him from my time at Liverpool, so I knew what a fantastic coach he was, but meeting him for the first time has been a breath of fresh air.
‘He’s told me what he expects and the high standards he sets, so I can hope I can come and help the team push to stay in the Premier League. I’ve been in this league a long time, I know what it takes to stay up and what it takes to get a good team to gel.’ Forest were also expecting to conclude a loan deal for Paris St Germain goalkeeper Keylor Navas before the window closed.

Mail Online 23:00 THE TRANSFER WINDOW HAS NOW CLOSED 22:56 Just FIVE minutes to go until the end of the transfer window... Don't panic though Chelsea and even Manchester United fans.
Both of those deals respectively for Fernandez and Sabitzer still have agreements and their confirmation can still come after the 11pm deadline. What I'm saying is don't log off yet everyone! We will be sticking around long after the transfer window closes. Still plenty to come...
22:51 BREAKING NEWS:Tottenham CONFIRM the £42m signing of wing-back Pedro Porro from Sporting Lisbon... as the Spaniard joins on an initial loan with an obligation to buy following protracted talks between the two clubs Spurs leaving it until the very last moments before the deadline to finally get their man in.

Angry Everton supporters descend on their Finch Farm training ground DOMINIC KING: It has been one of the most rancorous periods in the club's history and the fact they were the only club not to buy a player during the window will do little to ease the tension for Everton.
Mail Online 22:37 From former Everton midfielder Don Hutchinson on Twitter I’ve really got to feel for Everton fans tonight.
The club took an age to appoint S Dyche then don’t give him one single player in this window to help him keep the club up.
💙 — Don Hutchison (@donhutch4) January 31, 2023 22:22 Nottingham Forest are proving rather busy today... even tonight... as they now have a deal in place to sign Keylor Navas from PSG TOM COLLOMOSSE: IT was off, it was on, it was off… and now it’s back on again: Nottingham Forest have an agreement in place to sign Keylor Navas from Paris St Germain.
The goalkeeper, who won the Champions League three times with Real Madrid, would arrive on loan and provide experienced competition for Dean Henderson, who is currently out injured.
Forest already have a deal in place to sign midfielder Jonjo Shelvey from Newcastle and had not given up hope of signing Angelo Gabriel, though time is running out to secure the capture of 18-year-old winger. 22:13 DONE DEAL: Atletico Madrid confirm the signing of former Tottenham full-back Matt Doherty We already heard how Doherty had his contract cancelled by Tottenham and that has now paved the way for him to join Atletico Madrid on a free transfer.
I'm still scratching my head over this one. How on earth has this developed? Diego Simeone's side have before though signed an unwanted full-back from Spurs in Kieran Trippier and that worked out well for them...
Atletico Madrid sign Matt Doherty after Spurs terminate his contract Atletico Madrid have announced the signing of Matt Doherty on a contract until the end of the season, after Tottenham agreed to mutually terminate the full back's deal.
Mail Online 22:12 Everton though are going down the route of signing Andre Ayew At the very least, Everton don't have to worry deadline day as SIMON JONES reports that they are now focusing on a deal to sign striker and free agent Andre Ayew.
22:10 Leicester City title winner Marc Albrighton is on the verge of joining West Bromwich Albion on loan TOM COLLOMOSSE: Marc Albrighton is closing in on a loan move to West Bromwich Albion – which would leave Jamie Vardy as the final member of Leicester’s title-winning squad still at the club.
The experienced winger would fulfil Albion’s need for a wide man and is thought to be keen on the move, with Carlos Corberan’s side chasing a play-off spot. It would mean Leicester losing both Albrighton and Ayoze Perez on deadline day, leaving boss Brendan Rodgers with Tete and Harvey Barnes as his only orthodox wingers, though both Dennis Praet, James Maddison and the recovering Ricardo Pereira can also play in those roles.
Elsewhere, out-of-favour defender Jannik Vestergaard has held talks with Monaco but a move at this stage looks unlikely.
22:08 Meanwhile, it's back to square one at Everton... Sporstmail's SIMON JONES now understands that Everton have been turned down by Palace in their approach for Mateta.
Somebody do some business with Everton... please? It's just cruel at this point! 22:01 Matt Doherty has had his contract TERMINATED by Tottenham Who was expecting this?! Only Tottenham, it's not even by conventional standards either. It's not due to a falling out but so that full-back can bypass some FIFA rulings so he is free to join Atletico Madrid.
We have mutually agreed to the termination of Matt Doherty’s contract to enable him to join another club. Thank you for everything, Doc 💙 — Tottenham Hotspur (@SpursOfficial) January 31, 2023 22:01 ONE HOUR TO GO...

Mail Online 21:44 Time to start talking about deal sheets? "Deal what, Dan?" Deal sheets. The less glamorous side of the transfer window outside of glitzy unveilings. It gives teams the chance to get a deal done two hours after the closure of the transfer window which is at 11pm.
Chelsea may need one in regards to their chase for Enzo Fernandez. They have less than 90 minutes to get an agreement at least in place now - a crucial part of the two hour extension. Otherwise time is still running out here in this really tense stand off over the fee.
21:34 Jorginho's 'different style' will be crucial for Arsenal 'when they get nervous' in the Premier League title run-in, insists Jamie Carragher... as Gunners confirm £12m signing of midfielder from Chelsea 'They needed to bring someone in and they've gone for Caicedo, but they can't get that done,' Carragher said.
'Jorginho is an interesting one, and I was listening to people talk about to today, saying he's not the style of Arsenal, it's so quick and energetic, and he's the opposite of that.
Jamie Carragher says Jorginho will be vital for Arsenal in run-in Concerns were that his playing style not fitting the system that has propelled Arsenal to the top of the table, but Carragher insisted his importance lies in his trophy-winning expertise.
Mail Online 21:31 It's all gone very quiet in Tottenham's chase for Pedro Porro hasn't it? It seems like Spurs have really dragged this out but having already let Djed Spence leave on loan, it's unlikely their chase for a new wing-back is going to collapse now. In fact it is understood Porro has already signed his Spurs deal and it's just a matter of communication teams getting their ducks in a row in terms of making an announcement.
21:23 Palace's late bid for Anthony Elanga could have effects elsewhere too... Sadly Everton fans, it's your side - again.
It now looks like the Manchester United striker will not be going to Goodison Park. In addition, Fulham and Crystal Palace's transfers today also mean the Toffees are the only club yet to make a signing this month... You'd have to be a Liverpool fan not to feel sorry for the Goodison Park outfit right now.
21:10 Crystal Palace sign Arsenal midfielder Albert Sambi Lokonga on loan until the end of the season and also complete deal for Stuttgart's Naouirou Ahamada - as Patrick Vieira eyes unlikely late move for Man United winger Anthony Elanga The 23-year-old could now be set for more game time at Selhurst Park after Palace reached an agreement with the Gunners.
Crystal Palace sign Arsenal midfielder Albert Sambi Lokonga on loan Lokonga has started just two league games for Mikel Arteta's men this term, with the Arsenal boss preferring a midfield trio of Thomas Partey, Granit Xhaka and Martin Odegaard.
Mail Online 21:00 TWO HOURS TO GO... No news is bad news for the Blues the longer these Fernandez talks continue between Chelsea and Benfica... Still no breakthrough in their talks over the transfer fee, but it seems like all the other work has been completed, so it's still very much on the line despite that ticking clock getting louder.

20:41 Nottingham Forest are closing in on long time target Gabriel - who is having a medical TOM COLLOMOSSE: Angelo Gabriel is currently having a medical in Brazil. The young Santos winger has been a target for Nottingham Forest all window and while the deal looked unlikely over the weekend, it has since been revived.
Whether Forest can conclude an agreement for the 18-year-old in this window remains to be seen, however. Not much time left now. 20:32 We've already had South Park today at Charlton, but Bournemouth may have taken the award for best signing announcement I'm still sticking with Charlton's South Park for me and the 'Kil-Kenny' confirmation - but Bournemojuth have teamed up with the video game Football Manager to announce the capture of Illia Zabarnyi.
They revealed this video minutes after asking the video game's Twitter account to recommend them a 'wonderkid' This one even comes with stats too - nice touch.

Didn't you miss a penalty so I could become a European champion with Italy?" 20:22 Fulham close to finally signing defender Cedric Soares on loan from Arsenal until the end of the season, but they must first either sign Shane Duffy or Dan James on a permanent deal The west London side registered an interest in signing right back Cedric, 31, on loan but negotiations with Arsenal stalled due to his £65k-a-week wage demands, which the Cottagers are reluctant to pay.

20:05 BREAKING NEWS: Arsenal complete the £12m signing of Jorginho from London rivals Chelsea Finally we have confirmation of the deal.
It may not be Moises Caicedo for the big bucks but this could be a better signing for the Premier League leaders. His experience will be crucial for Arsenal's title charge and he certainly adds depth. You have to be impressed with the Gunners' window.
Even with big spending Chelsea, has any club had a better January?

19:56 Good news Everton fans!.... I think No, Lionel Messi to Goodison Park doesn't look like it's happening but your search for a signing, any signing, this month could still have wheels. In fact it even has the luxury of rolling over the deadline into February and beyond with free agent Andre Ayew thought to be of interest.
Nottingham Forest are also reportedly monitoring the former Premier League striker though. He's got to be better than nothing hasn't he? 19:52 Diego Llorente, who earlier in the day had his move from Leeds to Roma confirmed, has paid tribute to the club and their fans I only have words of gratitude towards Leeds and their fans.

There were some complications earlier in the day - said to be around his wages - but now told the paperwork is being worked on. It would be a straight loan with no option for Fulham to buy. 19:31 DONE DEAL: Fulham sign Sasa Lukic from Torino Talking about it leaving it late.

Sportsmail understands United and Bayern have a firm agreement, the Austria captain has agreed terms with the Red Devils and once he passes his medical, which shouldn't be too strenuous giving the short term nature of the loan.
Other that, we are just waiting for confirmation. 19:05 Sergi Canos claims his Brentford departure is the 'toughest moment' of his career and the 'end of something special' after completing a loan move to Olympiacos The Greek Super League side currently lie fourth in the Greek top flight with six games of the regular season remaining, but the defending champions are on a 12-match unbeaten run.

Who will blink first out of Benfica and the Blues? 18:47 Leicester's Ayoze Perez has now completed his move to Real Betis TOM COLLOMOSSE: As was trailed by Sportsmail in the last hour, Ayoze Perez has completed his loan move from Leicester to Real Betis.
The winger has been free to negotiate a return to Spain for the last two weeks and has now agreed a deal to stay with Betis until the end of the season. With Perez’s Leicester contract expiring at the end of the campaign, he will be a free agent at the end of the campaign, and has likely played his last game for Leicester.

Chelsea' Ziyech 'attempting to push through his loan move to PSG' Hakim Ziyech is 'attempting to persuade Chelsea' to let him join Paris Saint-Germain on loan. Mail Online 18:34 There are also reports that Isco is being offered out by his agent He was hot property at one point is his career, now he doesn't even have a club.
Reports suggested his agent offered the former Spain star out to United before they turned him down for a Sabitzer pursuit. I can't claim to know why he has found himself on the fringes at the Bernabeu, to Sevilla then nowhere at all, but surely there is a Premier League club who should be rolling the dice with this.
Everton? 18:30 Still no breakthrough for Chelsea's pursuit of Enzo Fernandez That's not to say a deal is dead, or even dying. But right now Chelsea and Benfica are at a stalemate over the structure of this transfer.
The £115m fee isn't in question - it's how it is paid. Benfica want it in cash up front (hopefully stuffed in a suitcase like the movies) but the Blues want to structure it over multiple installments. Benfica are really digging deep that their demands are met here.

I have to admit I completely forgot about him at Bayern Munich.
It's not really worked for him there has it? He looks to be the perfect January signing. He's a talented central midfielder and for a loan move at the very least that's an excellent transfer for any Premier League side - even if this one is to cover Christian Eriksen's injury.
Is there room for both of them at the club though? Man United are interested in signing Bayern Munich's Marcel Sabitzer The Red Devils are looking to strengthen their midfield after losing Christian Eriksen to injury for the next three months and Sabitzer has emerged as a target as he searches for more game time.

If the move is concluded, it means the Spanish winger has probably played his final game for the club as his contract expires in the summer. Though boss Brendan Rodgers wanted to sign a second winger after bringing in Tete on loan from Shakhtar Donetsk, he clearly feels he has enough cover to allow Perez to leave.

That comes with Fernandez set to sit out Benfica’s visit to Arouca tonight, with his omission removing another possible obstacle in the way of him completing a move to Stamford Bridge.
The two clubs are in talks as we speak, with some Benfica officials waiting for discussions to conclude before heading off for tonight’s game.

The Championship club have been braced for the Australian’s exit throughout the window and he would provide the height and presence Leicester have lacked at the back this season.
As long as the final details do not present any problems, Souttar’s arrival may allow Leicester to move one of Caglar Soyuncu or Jannik Vestergaard before the window closes. Vestergaard, who must rank as one of the least successful signing in the club’s history, has interest from Hertha Berlin.
Soyuncu has a verbal agreement to join Atletico Madrid on a free transfer at the end of the season but could move to Spain early for a relatively small fee. Leicester are also open to letting Ayoze Perez leave in this window though this may depend on whether they can sign another winger first.

Mail Online 09:35 West Ham want Conor Gallagher on loan KIERAN GILL: The name Conor Gallagher just cropped up in a conversation about West Ham targets today.
Manager David Moyes enquired about Gallagher back in the summer’s transfer window but was told Chelsea wanted him to stay with them. Now the 22-year-old midfielder may be available on loan until the end of the season.
Everton were chasing him. But if there’s a deal to be done, I hear West Ham are interested. May not happen, of course - last January, West Ham tried to get Kalvin Phillips from Leeds and didn’t. But we’ll see where the Gallagher rumour takes us today.
Personally speaking, the energetic Gallagher would be a super addition to West Ham. He could complement Declan Rice in midfield, with Tomas Soucek having a disappointing season this time around. 09:31 Jack Harrison to Leicester remains tricky TOM COLLOMOSSE: Jack Harrison to Leicester is a complicated one.
Leicester would like the player, and there are some senior figures at Leeds who would consider selling him, but it is a delicate situation. Harrison has 18 months left on his contract and would be open to signing a new one.
He has also been unsure about the idea of joining another club who are fighting for Premier League survival.

David Moyes wants cover at centre back – that’s his personal priority – but the manager will be by his phone all day today taking calls from agents and clubs who want to offer him players. We asked him about Michail Antonio last night after West Ham’s 2-0 win over Derby and again, Moyes said he is not for sale.

08:45 Barcelona preparing late loan move for Fiorentina's Sofyan Amrabat... even though the cash-strapped Catalans can't register new deals for Gavi and Marcos Alonso! PETE JENSON: Barcelona could take one of the stars of last year’s World Cup Sofyan Amrabat on loan until the end of the season if his club, Fiorentina agree to let him leave.
Both the Catalan club and the player have agreed on the switch so the decision rests with the Serie A side. Barca had been told they could not register the new contracts of midfielder Gavi and defender Ronald Araujo last week so the signing would shock their La Liga rivals.
But they were denied the right to register Gavi because his contract affects their permitted squad spend for next season. The Catalan giants have also been unable to register a new deal for former Chelsea defender Marcos Alonso as it would take them over their salary cap.
Loaning Amrabat would only affect this season’s fair play rules and they have around £8.7m wriggle room after the departure of Gerard Pique and Memphis Depay.

Mail Online 08:17 Manchester United will decide the immediate futures of Anthony Elanga and Facundo Pellistri TODAY The futures of Anthony Elanga and Facundo Pellistri will be decided today by Manchester United as they weigh up loan moves for the duo. Erik ten Hag has been considering whether to send both Swedish forward Elanga and Uruguayan winger Pellistri out on loan to increase their game time.
United's head decision-makers will meet on Tuesday to determine both Elanga and Pellistri's immediate futures and whether they will be allowed to leave the club.
Elanga is keen to leave Old Trafford after finding himself a peripheral figure under Ten Hag following his breakthrough season under Ralf Rangnick. PSV Eindhoven, Borussia Dortmund and five Premier League clubs - including struggling Everton - are keen to sign him.
Uruguayan Pellistri finds himself in a similar situation and might be granted a loan move on deadline day despite Ten Hag previously stating his desire to keep the youth prospect at the club. Pellistri has quietly gone about his business since arriving at Man United in 2020 and only recently made his competitive first-team debut in the side's League Cup victory over Charlton.
The 21-year-old was previously sent on loan to Deportivo Alavés and is keen to get more first-team minutes whether that be at United or elsewhere.

but Leicester are standing firm TOM COLLOMOSSE: James Maddison has been the subject of tentative enquiries from the Premier League’s elite this month yet unless Leicester have a huge change of heart today, their best player will not be going anywhere.
The Foxes are in a relegation battle and without Maddison, their chances of survival decrease – especially as they would have little time to source a replacement. The summer is a different matter, though. Maddison’s contract expires at the end of next season so the next transfer window represents Leicester’s last chance to get a fee that reflects his worth.
Expect a bidding war for the 26-year-old at the end of the campaign, with Newcastle among those to have expressed a strong interest. 08:08 Leicester and Nottingham Forest expected to be very busy today TOM COLLOMOSSE: Leicester are trying to sign Harry Souttar from Stoke and Jack Harrison from Leeds – Harrison is a complex deal: some at Leeds want to sell him, some to keep him, and the player himself is not entirely convinced about joining another struggler.
Forest will sign Felipe, the centre-back from Atletico Madrid, and a goalkeeper.
They also want another winger and another central midfielder as they have a lot of players out. The outgoings at both clubs will be very busy: Perez, Vestergaard, Soyuncu and Praet could all leave Leicester; there could be even more who leave Forest, including Emmanuel Dennis and Lewis O’Brien, who they only signed last summer.

Livid PSG brand Chelsea and the French league's handling of their Hakim Ziyech move a 'CIRCUS' after the Blues 'sent the wrong paperwork THREE times and a computer glitch' put the deal at risk Hakim Ziyech arrived in Paris for a medical with PSG but the move was botched There were major problems after important paperwork was sent off late PSG are furious with Chelsea for sending the wrong documentation three times By Oli Gamp For Mailonline Published: 08:01, 1 February 2023 | Updated: 09:10, 1 February 2023 e-mail 31 View comments PSG have been left infuriated with Chelsea after the club sent over the wrong documentation for Hakim Ziyech 's move three times - describing the situation as a 'class A circus' with the deal at risk of collapse.
Ziyech looked set to seal an exit on loan before serious problems emerged, with the contracts submitted too late , despite the player already arriving in Paris for a medical.
With the move now in serious jeopardy as PSG prepare to appeal in order to get the deal over the line, they have pointed the blame at Chelsea, according to L'Equipe , and are said to be fuming after the club submitted incorrect documents on a number of occasions.

Leicester City sign 6ft 6in defender Harry Souttar from... Share this article Share The expectation is that it will be difficult for the LFP - France's governing body - to respond favourably to PSG's request, although the organisation have also been embroiled in the fiasco.
The report adds that the LFP also had an issue on deadline day as their computer systems experienced a breakdown late on Tuesday evening - which may play a factor in PSG's appeal being successful. The Ligue 1 giants have described Chelsea's handling of the situation as a 'class A circus', a source told the Athletic.
Reports in France previously claimed the Blues were being 'greedy' in their demands over Ziyech as he tried to push through the switch. PSG had spent January seeking out talented dribblers to improve the team - targeting Lyon's Rayan Cherki and Zenit star Malcom before the opportunity to sign Ziyech emerged, the report claimed.
Chelsea, headed up by owner Todd Boehly, have been accused of creating a 'class A circus' after failing to get Ziyech's loan over the line Club chiefs were confident about getting the deal done and 'everything seemed certain', it added, especially after Ziyech arrived for his medical - before the move later started to break down in the evening.
Sportsmail has approached Chelsea for comment. The former Ajax winger has endured a miserable two-and-a-half year spell at Stamford Bridge and on Monday travelled to Paris in a bid to seal a move to the French titans.
Despite starring for Morocco in their remarkable run to the World Cup semi-finals - becoming the first African side to do so - Ziyech has continued to struggle at Chelsea this season after a poor first term.
Ziyech is yet to score in all competitions this season for Chelsea and has only one assist If he does manage to join the Parc des Princes, he would reunite with compatriot Achraf Hakimi, who was equally key in their nation's run to the last four of the World Cup.
With Chelsea bringing in the likes of Mykhailo Mudryk, Joao Felix and Noni Madueke this month, Graham Potter will be keen to offload several attacking players that are likely to be losing their place in the side.
Ziyech has already averaged fewer than 45 minutes a game in his 10 appearances for the Blues in the league, and is yet to score in all competitions, assisting just once.

Ziyech looked set to seal an exit on loan before serious problems emerged, with the contracts submitted too late , despite the player already arriving in Paris for a medical.
With the move now in serious jeopardy as PSG prepare to appeal in order to get the deal over the line, they have pointed the blame at Chelsea, according to L'Equipe , and are said to be fuming after the club submitted incorrect documents on a number of occasions.

The report adds that the LFP also had an issue on deadline day as their computer systems experienced a breakdown late on Tuesday evening - which may play a factor in PSG's appeal being successful. The Ligue 1 giants have described Chelsea's handling of the situation as a 'class A circus', a source told the Athletic.
Reports in France previously claimed the Blues were being 'greedy' in their demands over Ziyech as he tried to push through the switch. PSG had spent January seeking out talented dribblers to improve the team - targeting Lyon's Rayan Cherki and Zenit star Malcom before the opportunity to sign Ziyech emerged, the report claimed.
Chelsea, headed up by owner Todd Boehly, have been accused of creating a 'class A circus' after failing to get Ziyech's loan over the line Club chiefs were confident about getting the deal done and 'everything seemed certain', it added, especially after Ziyech arrived for his medical - before the move later started to break down in the evening.
Sportsmail has approached Chelsea for comment. The former Ajax winger has endured a miserable two-and-a-half year spell at Stamford Bridge and on Monday travelled to Paris in a bid to seal a move to the French titans.
