Transfer news LIVE: Man Utd’s Joao Felix problem, Arsenal new Mudryk bid, Chelsea £8m move | Football | Sport
It’s 2023 on Sunday, and with the New Year comes the opening of the January transfer window and the chance for Premier League clubs to strengthen their squads with signings. Liverpool have become the first club to make a major acquisition after Cody Gakpo was unveiled on Wednesday night.
The Dutch attacker had also been wanted by Manchester United, who are unlikely to splash out this January, but has headed to Anfield. The Reds have paid PSV an initial £37million for the 23-year-old who scored three goals at the recent World Cup.
Chelsea have been the busiest club so far, despite the window having yet to officially open. They have agreed a deal to sign Brazilian teenager Andrey Santos from Vasco da Gama for around £17.5m. The Blues have also paid £10m to sign David Datro Fofana from Norwegian side Molde.
Graham Potter could yet sign more established players with Monaco’s Benoit Badiashile and Celtic’s Josip Juranovic among his targets. While Arsenal are eager to land Mykhaylo Mudryk from Shakhtar Donetsk and have already seen a bid of around £55m – including add-ons – rejected.
Joao Felix is linked to all three of Chelsea, United and Arsenal and could yet move to either. Atletico Madrid’s Portugal attacker is available for a loan fee of around £8m.
