Summary of the day
So, another fairly quiet day in the January transfer window draws to a close, at least as far as this blog (and actual deals being done) is concerned.
Here’s what we’ve learned:
Manchester United have activated contract extensions for three players; while Jadon Sancho is expected to complete a loan to Borussia Dortmund soon
Kylian Mbappé gave a rather ambigious update on his future, though it seems unlikely he will be at PSG come the start of next season
West Ham’s out-of-favour defender Thilo Kehrer is joining Monaco on loan
Another loan move in the pipeline is Ben Brereton-Diaz’s to Sheffield United from Villarreal until the end of the season
Other rumours include: Serhou Guirassy to Newcastle; Eric Dier to West Ham; Atalanta’s Giorgio Scalvini to Man United and Ivan Toney to … well, stay at Brentford
All the latest completed deals in the men’s transfer market can be tracked here on our transfer interactive. Our women’s transfer interactive is here.
I’ll leave you with the latest Football Daily, which has just dropped. Enjoy your Thursday evening! We’ll be back tomorrow morning with more January tittle-tattle.
Ten Hag asked about Sancho and new contracts
Some updates on Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Victor Lindelof and Hannibal from Manchester United’s Erik ten Hag, and a not-so-update on Jadon Sancho. There’s also been a hint that United could offer a deal to Anthony Martial (!):
We are talking with Rapha Varane and Anthony Martial, and we triggered the options on Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Victor Lindelöf and Hannibal Mejbri.
I can’t say anything about [Sancho]. We have to wait and see how things are going. When we have news, we will tell you.
[On Ineos talks] Very positive. We had a long meeting, many hours we sat together. On many issues we are on the same page. Very constructive.
