Sol Campbell pokes fun at infamous Spurs-Arsenal switch

Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United are clubs to watch in the finals days of the January transfer window. Erling Haaland has signed a bumper new extension at Manchester City, while it appears that Benjamin Sesko will not be an option for the Gunners as they target a new striker.

Mikel Arteta is also targeting a new midfielder, with Spain midfielder Martin Zubimendi appearing to be set on the Emirates over Anfield or with Man City at the Etihad.

Arne Slot’s Reds continue to negotiate with soon-to-be out-of-contract trio Trent Alexander-Arnold, Mohamed Salah and Virgil Van Dijk, with the right-back linked with a possible free transfer to Real Madrid.

While Manchester United are looking to sell Marcus Rashford, Kyle Walker could be on his way out of Man City, though, after informing Pep Guardiola of a desire to explore options away from the club and Milan and Inter are battling for the right back.

Elsewhere, Chelsea, currently in a rotten spell of form under Enzo Maresca, could negotiate a swap deal with Bayern Munich winger Mathys Tel, inserting out-of-favour striker Christopher Nkunku into a deal.

Manchester City close in on Omar Marmoush as forward left out of Eintracht squad

Omar Marmoush seems on the verge of joining Manchester City as his current club Eintracht Frankfurt confirmed it was in talks with City and said the Egyptian striker would probably leave.

Marmoush was not in the squad as Frankfurt beat Borussia Dortmund 2-0 in the Bundesliga but joined his teammates on the field after the game for an apparent farewell as fans cheered.

"I've said often before that we're in discussions with a club. In the end, it's Manchester City and we've really been in close contact with them for one or two days now," sporting director Markus Krosche told broadcaster DAZN ahead of the game.

A move to City would be a "huge opportunity" for Marmoush, he added."We'll see how it develops in the coming hours and perhaps days, but there is now a very high probability that he will be leaving us."

Sesko not expected to move in this window

Arsenal’s search for a new striker may have hit an early stumbling block, as David Ornstein has claimed that Benjamin Sesko is not expected to move during this window, with RB Leipzig likely to refuse to sell.

Speaking on YouTube to Arsenal fan show ‘Highbury Squad’, Ornstein said: “My information is there are no talks for Benjamin Sesko, and he’s not expected to move in thus transfer window.

“He’s high on their [Arsenal’s] recruitment list, they’ve explored it in the past.

“He’s really important to Leipzig at the moment. They don’t have an intention of selling him,” added Ornstein.
