09:35 - DONE DEAL!

Inter have confirmed the departure of Stefano Sensi on a loan deal to Sampdoria.

The 26-year-old was previously a target for Antonio Conte and Tottenham, but will now spend the rest of the season helping Samp fight against Serie A relegation.


09:30 - Spurs in talks over Gil loan

Tottenham are in talks with Valencia over a loan deal for Bryan Gil.

The 20-year-old was a summer arrival in north London but has yet to start a Premier League game despite costing £25m. Sky Sports News note that Gil will only be allowed to leave if they can bring in a replacement before Monday's deadline.


09:25 - Man Utd to allow Van de Beek loan

Manchester United will allow Donny van de Beek to leave the club on loan, 90min understands.

The Red Devils had wanted to keep hold of the Dutchman despite his desire to seek regular first-team football elsewhere, but will now sanction a temporary move providing a loan fee is provided and his wages are covered in full.

Crystal Palace are among the teams trying to secure a deal.


09:00 - Gossip time

Read all the best gossip from yesterday and this morning here.


08:45 - Ekitike could yet move

In-demand Reims striker Hugo Ekitike could still leave the club before the end of January.

90min understands that communications with Newcastle have been ongoing despite a rejected bid earlier this month, while PSG are also keeping an eye on his situation.


08:30 - Arsenal striker update

It's all going on at the Emirates Stadium in terms of outgoings, with the futures of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Eddie Nketiah up in the air.

Barcelona and Juventus are chasing a loan deal for out-of-favour Aubameyang, while 90min understands that Newcastle are pushing to complete a deal for Nketiah - who is out of contract this summer.

One thing's for sure, Arsenal, who missed out on Dusan Vlahovic, surely can't afford to lose both without bringing in a replacement...


08:20 - West Ham eye Raphinha

West Ham are one of a number of clubs interested in signing Leeds' star man Raphinha.

There's every chance that the Brazilian will sign and new improved contract at Elland Road - talks are already happening - but West Ham are monitoring him in case he's interested in a move to the capital.

European football would be on offer, as well as a healthy pay rise, and there's some substantial interest from around the continent too.
