Transfer News LIVE: Man Utd 'losing' £200m battle, Vlahovic latest, Newcastle's £80m bid

Clubs in the Premier League and around Europe are working hard to bolster their squads this month, with plenty of deals already wrapped up. There have been several blockbuster transfers linked in January too but clubs only have a little over two weeks now to conclude their business.

This window has already seen stars like Philippe Coutinho and Ferran Torres switch clubs, but more big-name players could be on the move.

A story that has dominated much of this window is Arsenal’s search for a new striker. 

Mikel Arteta is set to be backed in the market once again should a deal for one of their targets become possible.

As things stand, the Gunners have three main targets in Alexander Isak, Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Dusan Vlahovic, though the latter is understood to be their preference.

Vlahovic is keen on a move away from Fiorentina but a deal to join Arsenal has been complicated, with the striker said to be unconvinced by the project at the Emirates Stadium.

Newcastle have been knocked back in their attempts to strike a deal for the RB Leipzig midfielder so far but are now readying a fourth bid worth £80million. 

United are desperate to sign a midfielder, though are likely to wait until the summer.

Haidara is not the only man on United’s shortlist, with the club also considering a move for West Ham’s Declan Rice. 

However, the Red Devils are said to be ‘behind’ Chelsea and Liverpool in the £200m race for the England ace.
