Transfer news and rumours LIVE: Leeds in talks for Man Utd's Dan James

Celik deal set to collapse

Atletico Madrid have failed to reach an agreement with Lille for full-back Mehmet Zeki Celik and the deal is on the brink of collapsing, reports Fabrizio Romano.

Tottenham are watching on with interest as they look to offload Serge Aurier before the deadline.

Lille are interested in the Ivory Coast international - but only if Celik leaves.

Chelsea deal for Saul unlikely

Chelsea’s deal to sign Saul Niguez on loan from Atletico Madrid is now unlikely to happen, according to the Guardian.

A move to sign defender Jules Kounde is also set to collapse unless the London club meet Sevilla’s demands.

If those deals to not go through, then Callum Hudson-Odoi is unlikely to leave Stamford Bridge before the deadline despite interest from Borussia Dortmund.

Willian terminates Arsenal contract

Willian has left Arsenal after agreeing to terminate the remaining two years of his contract and is set to sign for boyhood club Corinthians.

The 33-year-old signed a three-year deal when he joined on a free transfer from Chelsea last summer. However, he struggled to make an impact at the Emirates, scoring just once in 38 appearances.

After holding talks about his future, the winger has agreed to forego the wages he was owed for the final two years of his contract and become a free agent.

Birmingham sign Deeney

Birmingham have signed Troy Deeney on a two-year contract.

It was announced earlier this evening that the 33-year-old had left Watford after 11 seasons at Vicarage Road.

Palace turn their attentions to Edouard

Crystal Palace are set to make a move for Celtic striker Odsonne Edouard after failing to agree a deal for Eddie Nketiah, reports the Athletic.

The Eagles have held talks with the Gunners over a deal for the 22-year-old but were unable to agree a fee, despite Arsenal reducing their asking price from £20 million (£17m/$24m) to £15m (£13m/$18m).

As a result they have now turned their attentions to Edouard, who is in the final year of his contract at the Scottish giants.

Bees make Vanderson move

Brentford have made a €15 million (£13m/$18m) bid for Gremio full-back Vanderson, Goal understands.

The Brazilian club turned down a loan offer from Milan for the 22-year-old last week, with Gremio president Romildo Bolzan saying he would not consider selling Vanderson until the end of the year.

However, if the two clubs can agree a fee there is optimism a deal can be done before Tuesday's deadline.

Odubeko heads out to Huddersfield

West Ham academy striker Mipo Odubeko has signed a new two-year contract before joining Championship side Huddersfield on a season-long loan.

We are happy to announce that @mipoodubeko has signed a new contract with the Club until the summer of 2023 and will be heading out on loan to Huddersfield Town for the 2021/22 season.

Good luck, Mipo!

Man City to resist loan interest in McAtee

Manchester City want youngster James McAtee to stay with the first-team squad despite loan interest from a number of clubs, according to the Daily Mail.

Brentford and Swansea are among the sides to have enquired about taking the 18-year-old playmaker, who previously played for Manchester United's academy, on a season-long loan.

However, City feel the teenager would benefit more from learning from the senior players and coach Pep Guardiola at this stage of his development.

Championship side Reading have signed midfielder Danny Drinkwater on loan from Chelsea.

And another!

Six clubs are all interested in signing young Barcelona striker Rey Manaj, Goal can confirm.

While the Albanian has a release clause of €50 million, Barca could accept bids as low as €6m for his services as they battle their financial crisis - although they would prefer any deal to include a generous buy-back clause.

Cagliari, Rayo Vallecano, Almeria, Freiburg, Fenerbahce and Anderlecht are the clubs in the hunt for Manaj.

NXGN star Lee Kang-in has signed with La Liga side Mallorca following his release by Valencia, the Spanish club have confirmed.

Juve decide against re-signing Pjanic

Juventus have decided against offering Barcelona midfielder Miralem Pjanic a potential return to Turin as they close in on the signing of PSV starlet Mohamed Ihattaren, Goal can confirm.

Pjanic moved to Barca from Juve in an exchange deal involving Arthur last summer, committing to a four-year contract at Camp Nou.
