4:46pm - BENTANCUR A TARGET FOR VILLA

AC Milan are interested in taking Spurs defender Japhet Tanganga on loan, according to BBC Sport.

It's all going on at Real Madrid today.

According to AS, Los blancos are preparing to offer Marco Asensio a new deal worth €4m a year.

1:50pm - ANCELOTTI COMMENTS ON HAZARD'S FUTURE

While Eden Hazard has been heavily linked with a sensational (well, semi-sensational) return to the Premier League, Carlo Ancelotti has played down reports that he could leave Real Madrid.

However, Xavi has insisted that the Dutchman remains a key part of his plans.

"He's an important player, he's just coming back from an injury. Circumstances has it that he was on the bench [for the last game].

"For example, Jordi [Alba] is in a similar situation after playing a lot of minutes. But I never doubt these players' commitment to the team.

12:40pm - NANDEZ EXPLORING NEWCASTLE INTEREST

Uruguay midfielder Nahitan Nandez has given up hope of a move from Cagliari to Inter, but he is open to a move to the Premier League.

12:25pm - SIMEONE SEES ALONSO AS DREAM SIGNING

Yep, that's Chelsea's Marcos Alonso we're talking about.

According to Marca, Simeone has long been an admirer of the left-back, who himself harbours ambitions to play in La Liga again.

But it's unlikely that a deal will happen this month due to Chelsea's full-back crisis. One for the summer, perhaps...

12:00pm - JUVENTUS PREPARE JANUARY BID FOR VLAHOVIC

It's that man again, Dusan Vlahovic. This time our friends at Tuttosport claim that Juventus are ready to try and jump the queue for the striker and table a €60m bid this month.

Financing the deal could be tricky, but the reports notes that a two-year loan followed by a permanent deal, or using Dejan Kulusevski as makeweight, are both options.

11:45am - NO ANFIELD MOVE FOR ZAKARIA

Denis Zakaria has plenty of Premier League suitors including Arsenal and Manchester United.

We told you an update was coming, and here it is. Antonio Rudiger has explained what factors he is considering as he decides his future.

Read what he had to say here.

11:00am - RUDIGER TO OLD TRAFFORD

Antonio Rudiger's contract expires at the end of the season and there has been plenty of speculation about where he could end up in the summer.

Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and PSG have all been mentioned in the past but The Sun now sensationally claim that Man Utd have entered the fray. They are one of the few clubs that could afford the deal, and Chelsea will be powerless to stop the Red Devils if Rudiger is happy to sign...

Keep your eyes peeled for another update on the German's future before midday.

10:30am - FIORENTINA BOSS CANNOT WAIT FOR FEBRUARY

Vincenzo Italiano has Fiorentina flying this season, which is even more impressive when you consider the uncertainty surrounding Dusan Vlahovic's future that he has had to deal with.

Unsurprisingly, he cannot wait for the window to slam shut...

9:45am - REAL BIG FANS OF BELLINGHAM

The front page of Marca this morning was a splash of all the young talents Real Madrid are keeping tabs on from across the world.

Read the full story here.

9:30am - CHELSEA CLOSE IN ON DERBY YOUNGSTER

Chelsea are close to completing their first transfer of the month with the Blues set to recruit Derby youngster Dylan Williams.

The report comes courtesy of The Sun, and Wayne Rooney has already confessed that the defender - who has appeared eight times for the senior side this season - would be moving on.

"We've agreed a fee with a Premier League club for Dylan Williams - I couldn't stand in the way of his opportunity."

9:15am - DELE WANTS TO MOVE NORTH

Newcastle have been linked with a move for Spurs outcast Dele Alli this month and according to Football Insider, the player would be keen on the switch.

To say Dele's career has stagnated over the past few years would be a colossal understatement and a change of scenery, and drop in temperature, could be exactly what he needs.

9:00am - LYON SAY NO TO CHELSEA... THREE TIMES

Chelsea have been trying to recall Emerson Palmieri from Lyon all month but the Ligue 1 side are holding firm.

According to Fabrizio Romano, the Blues have had no less than three offers of compensation turned down for the left wing-back, and with moves for Layvin Kurzawa and Ivan Perisic looking difficult, Thomas Tuchel may have to cope with just Marcos Alonso for the rest of the season .

08:45am - JOAO FELIX ON THE MOVE?

Joao Felix is still young but even his biggest supporters would have to admit that his time at Atletico Madrid has been pretty underwhelming.

Far from a guaranteed starter for Diego Simeone the forward might be ready for a fresh start with Ruben Uria claiming that Barcelona are interested. How a club with such deep-set financial issues could afford a move of this magnitude is anyone's guess.

08:30am VLAHOVIC RESISTING ARSENAL BUT WANTS CITY

Everything reported so far this month has pointed towards Dusan Vlahovic not really fancying a move to Arsenal, and Fiorentina director Joe Barone yesterday hinted that the switch was unlikely.

However, that is not to say Vlahovic does not fancy a Premier League move. As per La Repubblica, the striker would be interested in joining English champions Man City if they came in for him in the summer.

08:20am GOOD MORNING!

It's Saturday, so we can likely expect a quieter day than normal as teams across the globe 'die to get three points,' in the words of Neil Warnock.

Even still, we should have a lot of chatter to digest so make sure you keep your eyes peeled on the 90min live blog today.
