Transfer news LIVE: Everton eye new target and Arteta makes exciting Arsenal admission

Things are beginning to heat up in the January transfer market as Premier League sides start to make their moves ahead of the second half of the season. On Tuesday Aston Villa completed their sensational loan move for Barcelona star Phillipe Coutinho, with the playmaker linking up with ex-Liverpool teammate Steven Gerrard once more. 

And Wednesday is expected to be another busy day, with Newcastle closing in on the signing of striker Chris Wood from Burnley.

Arsenal and Tottenham, meanwhile, are continuing to battle for Fiorentina frontman Dusan Vlahovic, and the Serb certainly appears to be one of the most in-demand stars in Europe at the moment.

Everton are certainly in need of reinforcements, and could well complete a deal for Aston Villa’s Anwar El Ghazi, having already bought Vitalii Mykolenko and Nathan Patterson.

So the only question remains: what does today hold in store for us? 

Express Sport will keep you up to date on all the latest goings on in the January transfer window with regular updates below.
