All the biggest transfer rumours and gossip from 21 January, including the possibility of signings at Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal as time begins to run out in the window.
Man Utd target Barcelona star Casado
Manchester United are eyeing up the possibility of making a January transfer bid for Barcelona star Marc Casado, according to reports from Spain.
Casado is considering his future with the Camp Nou side as he struggles to earn regular minutes in the first team, with various Premier League sides interested in the 22-year-old.
Mundo Deportivo reports that Man Utd have formally announced their interest in the player, although Wolves and Atletico Madrid are other serious contenders to sign the promising star.
Rosenior ready to ready Strasbourg for four players

Rosenior is ready to provoke the anger of the Ligue 1 side by signing Emmanuel Emegha ahead of schedule, while he also wants to activate loan returns for goalkeeper Mike Penders and striker Kendry Paez.
The final player that Chelsea would like to snap up from Racing is centre-back Ismael Doukoure.

Arsenal eye Martin Odegaard repeat with Real Madrid deal
Arsenal are ready to whisk one of Real Madrid’s most promising players away from them, with Mikel Arteta’s side eyeing a move for youngster Victor Valdepenas.
Xabi Alonso’s departure could prompt Valdepenas to consider his future at the Bernabeu, as he was liked by the previous manager. He has yet to get a chance to play under Alvaro Arbeloa and was not in the Champions League squad for Tuesday’s clash with Monaco.
The move for the 19-year-old signals a change in strategy for the Gunners, who have signed a string of first-team ready players in recent windows. Now they are looking to strengthen for the future.
