Sky Sports Arsenal are yet to receive a formal offer for defender Aleksandr Zinchenko, according to reports.

This defender is in the last 18 months of his contract and Arsenal are willing to sell if they receive a suitable offer that is in line with the club’s goals.

However, with injuries a major issue at the moment, the Gunners are not letting players leave this month if they cut the squad.

Former Liverpool goalkeeper Loris Karius is with Schalke until the end of the season.

The 31-year-old was recently at Newcastle after spells at Mainz, Besiktas and Union Berlin.

All 20 Premier League teams have avoided being charged under Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR) for the 2023/24 season as the league matches every club financially.

The PSR stipulates that clubs cannot make more than £105m in losses over a three-year period and most clubs must submit their accounts for the 2023/24 season by 31 December.

This year, the Premier League has declared that all clubs have complied with the rules – in 2024, the league charged both Everton and Nottingham Forest with breaching the PSR, with the Merseyside club later given an eight-point deduction, while Forest received four. became. Score

Taiwo Avoni will not leave Nottingham Forest this month unless a new striker replaces him.

West Ham have Awoniyi on their list of potential targets, but are yet to make an approach. The striker has dropped down the pecking order for Forest this season after falling behind Chris Wood on 12 goals.

Wood himself is about to renew his contract. Awoniyi has only started two Premier League games this season.

Leicester City are close to signing Parma right-back Veuve Koulibaly.

The defender is said to be in England to complete a medical with the Foxes after the two clubs agreed in principle for the player.

The 25-year-old is a versatile defender who can also play at left-back, bolstering options for Ruud van Nistelrooy’s squad.

The Foxes also want to sign a left winger and a centre-back in this window if possible.

Napoli forward Khoicha Khoratskhela looks set to leave the club this window, and as such, the Serie A side are moving to replace him.

Napoli are said to be keen on signing Alejandro Garnacho from Manchester United, although they may struggle to land him from Old Trafford and Timo Werner.

Werner is on loan at Tottenham from RB Leipzig and seems to offer an easier solution.

Paris Saint-Germain have reached a verbal agreement with Napoli in the region of £63m (€75m) for Khoratsakhlia.

With regards to which Arsenal striker will be signed in the January window, there have been reports that the Gunners are certain to have Real Sociedad’s top target, Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi, at the end of the season.

Mikel Arteta is known to be a long-term fan of the 25-year-old Spanish star and with Jorginho and Thomas Partey both out of contract at the end of the season, the club have increased their interest in Zubimendi.

According to The Mail, Arsenal have made a €60m (£51m) release clause in Zobimandi and would ideally like one of Europe’s top talents to join them in midfield this month, but Real Sociedad insist he will stay until the end of the season. to remain

The Bayern Munich winger still has a role to play at the club, according to sporting director Christoph Freund, amid rumors linking him to Chelsea.

Freund said: “Tell is a very important player for us, we are in very good contact because he is a great talent and he should play an important role for us.

“We have had many discussions. Our clear goal is for Mathis to achieve his success with us. We are very satisfied with our composition, quality and quantity.

Of course, if a player is unhappy, we can talk about it. Our clear plan with Mattis is for him to thrive here.”

Rumors continue to suggest that Miguel Almiron will be transferred to this team after Newcastle. Manager Eddie Howe provided an update, saying:

There is no situation (in the case of Almiron). He is here every day, fighting for his place in the team. I haven’t heard anything. He is an important part of the team.”

Brighton manager Fabian Horzler has commented on the future of striker Evan Ferguson. The striker has missed the last four games due to an ankle injury.

“It is very important that Ivan is back on the field,” said the German player. He is a player who comes from the youth academy and the same from the club.

“We will discuss the same thing with Evan. What is important to him, what is important for his development. Where he can make the best progress and then we will decide together.

This decision must be chosen, the best option for the player and the club. “I don’t think about making other teams better, I think about what’s best for the player.”
