Premier League giants look for imminent deals before window closes
Transfer news – LIVE!
The January transfer window will soon close but deals are happening all the time. Manchester United are among the busier clubs around at the moment, with Marcus Rashford expected to join Aston Villa on loan to finally end his first-team exile under Ruben Amorim. In return, the Red Devils are being linked with a shock move to sign Leon Bailey on loan from the Midlands giants.
Tottenham are another club expected to be busy. Spurs have already signed Kevin Danso on loan from Lens but reportedly remain on the lookout for a new attacking player to join Ange Postecoglou’s squad. Southampton’s Tyler Dibling is said to be a big target on that front.
Arsenal are also being tipped with a move to sign a new forward, having seen a bid rejected for Villa star Ollie Watkins. Sadly for the Gunners, the England forward came off injured against Wolves. Follow all the action LIVE with Standard Sport’s transfer blog!

Aston Villa look to be major players in the final stages of this January transfer window.
Having already agreed a loan deal for Marcus Rashford, the club are also swooping for Marco Asensio having sold Jhon Duran to Al-Nassr, loaned Emi Buendia to Bayer Leverkusen and fended off Arsenal interest in Ollie Watkins.
According to David Ornstein, Villa have clinched a loan agreement with PSG for former Real Madrid winger Asensio that will see them pay 100 per cent of his wages for the rest of the season.
Could a centre-back be next amid links to Chelsea’s Axel Disasi, with Diego Carlos having joined Fenerbahce last week?
Chelsea team-mate Joao Felix is also still said to be on their radar.

Tottenham look to have now sealed the signing of Kevin Danso tonight.
The Austrian defender had looked poised for a medical at Wolves on Sunday after a straight loan deal until the summer was agreed with French club Lens.
However, Spurs have sensationally swooped at the 11th hour this evening to steal Danso from under the noses of their Premier League rivals ahead of Monday night’s transfer deadline.
David Ornstein of The Athletic reports that it’s a permanent deal for Tottenham, who will be paying €25m (£20.8m) for the Austrian international.
Danso is said to have agreed a five-and-a-half year contract in north London and already completed a medical.

Multiple exits look to be looming at Chelsea.
While it remains to be seen if the Blues will bring anyone in before Monday night’s transfer deadline, a few could well be heading out at Stamford Bridge.
Reports earlier claimed that Ben Chilwell was closing in on a move to Crystal Palace, while Fabrizio Romano says that summer signing Aaron Anselmino has agreed another loan switch to Marseille after returning early from Boca Juniors this month.
He also says that Chelsea are in talks with Borussia Dortmund over Carney Chukwuemeka, but will only accept a straight loan with no option to buy amid other interest from Monaco and two unnamed Premier League clubs.
But Axel Disasi looks likely to be staying put unless Aston Villa sign him, with talkSPORT claiming that Tottenham’s move for Kevin Danso likely ends their interest in the Frenchman.
