Transfer news LIVE: Arsenal close on Arthur, Vlahovic latest, Ndombele talks

Welcome to 90min's rolling transfer news live blog this Sunday - where you can stay up to date with all the goings on as we enter the final stretch of the January window.

With just eight days remaining for teams to get their business wrapped up, there is a lot of work still to be done across the continent.

Although the likes of Newcastle have been active and are expected to have more incomings before the end of the month, January has once again proven to be a tough time to enter the market.

While some transfers seems far more likely than others, certain names have dominated the headlines this month. On Saturday, Diego Carlos, Antonio Rudiger, Joao Felix and Jude Bellingham were all in the news, with their respective futures uncertain.

Follow below for live transfer updates across the day...

9:27am - Ndombele talks ongoing

Talks are ongoing between Tottenham and Paris Saint-Germain over a proposed return to Ligue 1 for Tanguy Ndombele.

The deal being discussed is said to be a loan, and Spurs are only willing to accept if PSG cover 100% of the player's wages.

The Parisians certainly have the money to do so, so this is one to keep an eye on.


9:15am - Chelsea & Inter eye Croatian

Chelsea and Inter have both been linked with a move for Stuttgart full-back Borna Sosa by Sky Germany.

The Blues are looking for wing-back cover for long-term injury absentee Ben Chilwell, while Inter want an attacking left-sided defender who can fit into their five-at-the-back system.

However, a January move appears unlikely, with Stuttgart in the midst of a relegation battle and a €30m price tag on the Croatia international's head. His contract also does not expire until 2025.


9:02am - Vlahovic left out of Fiorentina squad

An interesting update from Italy this morning...

Fiorentina goalscoring machine Dusan Vlahovic has been left out of the Viola's squad for their Serie A clash with Cagliari today, and the club have not explained why.

However, it is not clear whether this has anything to do with strong interest from Arsenal and Juventus... Fiorentina revealed before the match that two unnamed members of their squad had tested positive for Covid-19. Riccardo Saponara is the other player to miss out.


8:40am - Good morning!

It's Sunday 23 January - that means there are just eight days of the January transfer window remaining.

The pressure is on negotiators to get deals done ASAP.
