Transfer news LIVE: Arsenal eye Onana, Spurs want Dragusin and Werner as Gallagher’s Chelsea future in doubt

Yosuke Ideguchi has left Celtic to return to Japan and sign for Vissel Kobe.

The 27-year-old midfielder’s move to the club from Gamba Osaka was confirmed in December 2021 but he played just six times in the 2021/22 season.

Ideguchi has been on loan at J1 League side Avispa Fukuoka this term.

Kalvin Phillips has failed to establish himself at Manchester City since his £42million switch from Leeds in the summer of 2022.

Injuries curtailed his involvement last season and, with so much quality in Pep Guardiola’s squad, even substitute appearances have been few and far between.

As Euro 2024 approaches, Phillips may have to move now to ensure he stays in the England picture.

Newcastle are apparently keen but there has also been reported interest from Juventus.

Brentford are working to complete a deal to sign Turkish midfielder Yunus Emre Konak says Fabrizio Romano.

A medical is reportedly due to take place this week in England and the terms have all been agreed with Sivasspor.

Sky Sports are reporting that Fiorentina are interested in Tottenham winger Bryan Gil with Spurs apprantly open to discussions over a potential deal.

The 22-year-old has only started two Premier League games so far this season and spent the second half of last term on loan at Sevilla.

Leeds United midfielder Robin Koch has signed a permanent contract with German side Eintracht Frankfurt.

The midfielder has been on loan at the club but he has now signed a contract to remain in the Bundesliga until 2027. He made 77 appearances across three seasons at Elland Road.

Brentford striker Ivan Toney says he wants to “repay” the club’s faith in him as the striker prepares to return to football following an eight-month ban for betting offences.

Brentford have set a price of £100m for Ivan Toney to be sold this January, as Chelsea are looking into making sales in order to challenge Arsenal for his signature.

While both of the wealthier clubs are unwilling to go to that price, Brentford’s position is bolstered by the fact strikers are at a premium as the most in-demand position with few options.

The England striker is set to return to action this month as his eight-month ban for multiple breaches of betting regulations comes to an end.

Given their poor form of late, Brentford will undoubtedly welcome the striker back with open arms and he has said he is keen to repay the club for their support during his suspension.

However, his value remains high and with the likes of Arsenal and Chelsea both looking for goalscorers, potentially head-turning approaches are more than possible.

Toney himself has been vocal about wanting to repay Brentford for sticking with him during the ban so a transfer for the forward seems more likely in the summer.

Oxford United are reportedly eyeing up a loan deal for Chelsea’s Jamie Cumming after losing goalkeeper James Beadle.

Oxford were dealt a blow when Brighton decided to recall Beadle from his stint with the League One club with Beadle subsequently joining up with Championship side Sheffield Wednesday.

Beadle had been the Oxford’s starting goalkeeper over the first half of the season, keeping nine clean sheets in 28 games overall.

With the League One side needing a replacement Chelsea’s Jamie Cumming is on the shortlist. After remaining at Stamford Bridge in the summer, the 24-year-old is keen to play over the second half of the season.

He’s had spells with Stevenage, Gillingham and MK Dons and has played 89 times in League One, so the deal could be an easy one to make.

Two of England’s Euro 2020 stars, Kalvin Phillips and Jordan Henderson, find themselves under scrutiny when they turn out for the national team due to a lack of game time and a lack of quality in the Saudi Pro League – where Henderson currently plays.

Both players are open to moves away from their current clubs in January in the hopes of boosting their chances of being selected for the summer’s European Championship.

Sky Sports’ Alan Smith addressed whether both players could secure moves saying: “Kalvin Phillips has every chance of a move. Pep is not [picking him, he will feel frustrated and with the Euros in the summer, he will be desperate to get away, that’s for sure.

“If that means taking a cut in wages, because that’s sometimes a sticking point, I think he’d do it to get back on the pitch.

“Jordan Henderson depends on the attitude of his club in Saudi as to whether they will say: thanks for the memories, goodbye. There haven’t been many memories and if there have been, they’ve been bad ones.

“Somebody would get a very good player in Henderson, he’s coming to the end of his career but he’s a very good figure in the dressing room.

“So I don’t think there will be a shortage of teams after him, if he’s available.”
