Make sure you join us again tomorrow morning - catch you then!

Wilfried Zaha could be set for a third club of the season amid reports he could join an MLS outfit.

The former Crystal Palace winger joined Ligue 1 side Lyon on loan from Galatasaray at the start of the season but the move hasn't gone to plan. He's only played six times so far and now a switch to the States could be in the offing.

According to the Daily Mail, a number of MLS teams are now targeting the veteran forward - though he would have to sidestep regulations that state he can only feature for two clubs across one season.

Marcus Rashford was left out by Ruben Amorim once again for their 2-0 loss to Wolves on Boxing Day and his future continues to look bleak.

The Portuguese boss was asked if Rashford had done anything to earn a place back in his team, but he gave a spiky reply that was particularly damning.

He said: "If he's not here… you can make your mind up. It's always the same reason. We have to be same professionals, same guys, winning or losing. Losing, I have to be stronger. I will continue with my idea until the end."

There should be plenty of heads turning towards Matheus Cunha in January after his recent heroics.

That's now three goals in a row after he inspired Wolves' 2-0 win over Manchester United on Boxing Day and manager Vitor Pereira has spoken out on how much he wants to keep the player.

"Of course, of course. I really do. We need his quality, we need his quality."

Man Utd are reported to have reservations over triggering Alvaro Fernandez's buy-back clause in January.after selling the left-back to Benfica last summer. The deal helped to ease United's financial concerns but the club have seen the need for a left-sided full back develop.

A buy-back clause to the value of around £25m was inserted into the deal, but The Athletic report that there are reservations over triggering it.

The club look like they need all the help they can manage after another defeat this evening.

The figure is four times the fee United received for Fernandez.

Leicester boss Ruud van Nistelrooy is hoping to secure two January deals amid the Foxes' difficulties.

Football Insiderreport Van Nistelrooy is lining up a loan move for Brighton striker Evan Ferguson, and exploring bringing Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall back to the club after his move to Chelsea.

The forward, who interested the likes of Arsenal and Chelsea in the summer, is not expected to move next month. That does not mean a transfer in 2025 is off the cards however.

“There are really many, many clubs keen on Sesko. It could be more than 5 clubs," said transfer guru Fabrizio Romano.

"But it's not a topic for January, the Sesko case will be open again for the summer and that's when the real suitors can emerge with concrete talks. At this stage, nothing is advanced with any club yet.”

Dani Olmo's agent Andy Bara has reportedly arrived in Manchester with Premier League clubs considering whether to take advantage of Barcelona’s uncertain ability to register the player.

Financial constraints meants Olmo's £50m summer arrival from RB Leipzig could only see the star register on a temporary arrangement until January 1st. It means Olmo can leave as a free agent if Spain's FA block his registration for the second part of the season.

Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano claims Liverpool will be busier in the transfer market this summer, with their attention elsewhere for the moment. The contracts of Virgil van Dijk, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Mo Salah are said to be taking priority.

"In the summer will be busy for sure, Liverpool are already monitoring players for the summer. The main focus now is on Trent, Salah and Van Dijk's contracts," he said.

Antony's agent, Junior Pedroso, has revealed there is interest his client.

"Yes, many clubs have approached us for Antony's move in January," he told Fabrizio Romano. "These clubs wanted to understand the situation for Antony, so I can confirm that there's concrete interest.

"To be fair, Manchester United have never expressed any interest to sell or loan out Antony to us. We never received this sort of communication so far. Man Utd management never told us that they want Antony to leave, despite the reports we see around about our client."

Arsenal are reported to be interested in Wolves striker Matheus Cunha to solve their goalscoring problems, per the Telegraph.

It is said it would be extremely difficult to prise the forward away amid Wolves' battle for Premier League survival however.

Sport claim tha Barcelona are happy to sell Eric Garcia and Andreas Christensen, with the decision made not to hand the latter a new deal. The Dane joined Barca on a free transfer from Chelsea but has this season has seen a lengthy spell out. Newcastle, Juventus and AC Milan have been linked.

Following another disappointing result, Guardiola was asked about Manchester City's January plans.

"I don’t know. Transfer windows in winter is not easy,” the City boss said.

“We want players for the next three, four, five years. This is not easy to do it. We are going to try because we cannot sustain for a long time to have so many important players injured.

“It’s not easy to make these swaps some time. We have to talk with the club, and they will decide.”

Milan Live have claimed AC Milan star Rafael Leao could be an option for Manchester United. It is said the winger and boss Paulo Fonseca are not on the best of terms with the player interested in leaving the San Siro.

Manchester United and Arsenal are credited with interest in addition to Barcelona.

It has been reported Manchester United will demand a £50m fee for Marcus Rashford. The United forward is expected to leave the club but has a contract until 2028, meaning United can be stubborn if they choose.

Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk has agreed a new contract. The Reds captain has just seven months on his current deal and would be able to speak to clubs from next month.

But now it appears, as expected, Van Dijk will extend his stay.

Wilfried Zaha is drawing interest from the MLS amid his difficult loan spell with Lyon. The former Crystal Palace star has played just six times for the French side in his temporary spell.

Mundo Deportivo report a deal is set for Barcelona to sign Jonathan Tah ahead of next season. Tah is said to have already made the 'definitive decision' to sign for the Catalan club from Bayer Leverkusen.

Napoli's Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Athletic Bilbao's Nico Williams, and Brighton's Kaoru Mitoma are top of United's shortlist to replace Marcus Rashford, should the forward depart Old Trafford, per reports.

It's 1-1 in the first Premier League fixture of the day between Manchester City and Everton.

Bernardo Silva fired the hosts into an early lead before Ilmian Ndiaye restored parity before half-time.

Jordan Pickford has also denied Erling Haaland from the penalty spot, will we get a winner in the next 30 minutes?

Paris Saint-Germain are set to offer Arsenal out-of-favour forward Randal Kolo Muani following Bukayo Saka's injury.

Saka has been ruled out for 'many weeks' after tearing his hamstring in the hammering of Crystal Palace on Saturday.

Kolo Munai has played just 28 minutes of football for PSG over the last month and the Evening Standard report that the Frenchman, who can play up front or on the right, will be offered to a number of clubs in January, including the Gunners.

AC Milan will hand Christian Pulisic a new contract to fend off reported interest from Liverpool, according to reports in Italy. Pulisic, who joined Milan from Chelsea in 2023, is the only opposition player to score against Arne Slot's team across six Champions League matches.

Calciomercato reports that Pulisic's new deal at the San Siro will net him an extra £1million per year. The American scored 15 goals in his first season with the Rossoneri, and already has eight in just 20 outings this term.

If Pulisic does indeed stay put, it will be just the latest in a run of Liverpool targets opting against a move to Anfield. Arne Slot has welcomed just one new face into his squad, with Federico Chiesa joining from Juventus, though Giorgi Mamardashvili will follow next summer after agreeing a move from Valencia.

Former Brighton defender Inigo Calderon has been confirmed as Bristol Rovers' new head coach.

Rovers sacked Matt Taylor before Christmas and have been searching for his successor in recent days.

And it's now been confirmed that Calderon - who has been coaching the Seagulls' Under-18s - will now take up the post.

Pep Guardiola says Manchester City have to add to their squad in the January transfer window.

The Premier League champions have been ravaged by injuries this season and spent Christmas down in seventh place in the table.

And speaking ahead of City's match against Everton he called for signings: "If we can we have to add players, definitely."

Sporting have sacked Joao Pereira as manager, just six weeks after he replaced Ruben Amorim.

Pereira was promoted from his role as the club's B team boss when Amorim left to take over at Manchester United. Amorim took his entire backroom staff with him to Old Trafford and tipped Pereira for the top job.

But the risk to hand him his first senior job has backfire, with Pereira sacked on Boxing Day after winning just three games.

Anfield legend Ian Rush insisted Mohamed Salah has no need to consider following in his footsteps by leaving Liverpool.

Rush knows all about departing the Reds having done so twice in his career. His first exit in 1987 was short and sweet, returning to Merseyside after a solitary season at Juventus having felt homesick.

By the time he left for Leeds in 1996, the now 63-year-old was firmly an icon as the club's all-time top scorer. But while Salah has achieved the same sort of status in the last seven-and-a-half years, he doesn't think there's a need to do the same as him.

Manchester United have been offered the chance to swap Marcus Rashford for Ansu Fati, according to reports in Spain.

Rashford is seemingly on his way out of Old Trafford and would be of interest to Barcelona.

And it's now been claimed Hansi Flick's side could use Fati as a makeweight in any potential deal, even though Rashford would likely be available for a fairly modest sum.

Atalanta forward Mateo Retegui is the latest player to be linked with Arsenal.

The Gunners could move for attacking reinforcements in the January transfer window with Bukayo Saka set for a spell on the sidelines.

According to CalcioMercato, they are now monitoring Retegui, who could be available for just £23million.

Arsenal are monitoring Dani Olmo with Barcelona unsure whether they will be able to register the attacking midfielder for the second half of the season.

With Barcelona's financial issues already well documented, it's emerged that Olmo has only been registered with La Liga until December 31 - and there are fears he will not be able to feature for Hansi Flick's side beyond that date.

Reports in Spain claim that could pave the way for Olmo to leave the club on a free agent due to a contract clause which which would kick in if he cannot be registered.

It's said both Arsenal and Manchester City are keeping an eye on the situation, as are Bayern Munich.
