FootballTransfers runs through the biggest rumours from 10 January, including the latest updates on Yan Diomande and Joao Gomes.
Diomande makes his choice
RB Leipzig superstar Yan Diomande is Europe's hottest commodity at the moment, prompting links with Arsenal, Chelsea, Man Utd and Liverpool.
The Ivorian winger is expected to fetch a €100 million fee in the summer transfer window, and he has now revealed which club he dreams of joining next.
His comments will come as an unpleasant surprise to Arsenal and Man Utd, who have been associated quite strongly with the 19-year-old wonderkid in recent weeks.
Napoli plot Mainoo revenge
Napoli spent weeks trying to convince Man Utd to agree to a loan for Kobbie Mainoo, but the sacking of Ruben Amorim has turned the 20-year-old's situation at Old Trafford on its head.
The reigning Serie A champions are in desperate need of midfield reinforcements due to an injury crisis that has been limiting Antonio Conte's selection options for some time.
Napoli have now moved on from signing Mainoo and could instead seek to get revenge on the Red Devils by pursuing a deal for one of their prime targets.
Chelsea eye Bellingham
Chelsea are interested in a blockbuster move for Real Madrid superstar Jude Bellingham due to uncertainty surrounding the future of Cole Palmer.
FootballTransfers exclusively revealed on Friday that Man Utd hold an interest in Palmer and that Chelsea would be willing to listen to offers, although signing him would of course prove incredibly expensive.
Bellingham has been earmarked as a big-name replacement for his compatriot, according to reports in Spain.
Aston Villa open Gallagher talks
Aston Villa have begun exploring a move for Atletico Madrid midfielder Conor Gallagher, according to talkSPORT.
Unai Emery is a long-standing admirer of the England international, and there is confidence at Villa Park that Atletico Madrid would be willing to listen to offers for Gallagher.
The former Chelsea star is keen to return to the Premier League and to play regularly to keep his chances of making Thomas Tuchel's squad for the 2026 World Cup alive.
