      Chelsea are expected to have a busy end to the window with Conor Gallagher, Armando Broja and Trevoh Chalobah all potentially departing.
      Gallagher, 23, sees his contract at Stamford Bridge expire at the end of next season.
      The Athletic report that he is no closer to signing an extension and could be sold this month or in the summer.
      Gallagher has played 28 times this season and captained Chelsea on multiple occasions – but his importance to Mauricio Pochettino will not prevent a sale.

      Tottenham and West Ham have been heavily linked with the midfielder in the past.

      Meanwhile, Broja, 22, and Chalobah, 24, are both available to leave on a permanent basis or in a loan deal with an obligation to buy.
      The striker faces an uncertain future with Wolves and Fulham interested.

      Chalobah has not played at all this season due to injury and is looking to get back on the pitch after falling down the pecking order.
      The trio are all up for sale because they are Chelsea academy graduates.
      Selling the stars will help the Blues avoid breaking financial rules as homegrown players count as 100 per cent profit.
      Chelsea also reportedly remain interested in Aston Villa striker Jhon Duran.
      Chiefs view the 20-year-old prospect as a talent for the future.

      He guided the club to the Bundesliga title last season after taking charge in March but Bayern currently trail leaders Bayer Leverkusen by two points.
      Tuchel has been criticised by some of Bayern’s former legendary players over his transfer signings and only has just over a year remaining of his contract.
      Now he has sparked speculation about his future by revealing that he would love to manage in Spain.
      And those remarks come on the same weekend that Barcelona manager Xavi announced that he is stepping down this summer after Saturday’s 5-3 defeat to Villarreal left them 10 points adrift of LaLiga leaders Real Madrid.

      Tuchel, who won the Champions League during his time in charge of Chelsea, said: “Moving abroad would appeal to me again.
      “Spain has an extraordinary league. From my perspective, and based on my experience working with Spaniards, they are characterised by a tremendous amount of self-confidence.
      “When you speak with Spanish players, I quickly get the sense that you are engaging with the person.”
      His remarks did not seem to go down well with Bayern supporters as they soon vented their fury over the comments on social media.

      “Get him out the club man,” wrote one.
      Another declared: “He wants to coach Barcelona.”
      A third claimed: “He literally is campaigning for the Barca job.”
      Another wrote: “Well, there is an open spot in Barcelona, and we, as Bayern fans, will be more than delighted to see you leave our club.”
      While a fifth said: “No respect for the club paying his wages.”
      Meanwhile, Tuchel could emerge as a target for another club.
      The Express have also claimed that his name has been added to the list of possible replacements for Erik ten Hag should Manchester United sack the Dutchman. More

      Marinakis is willing to fund a transfer move for a home goalie, just six months after splashing out on Matt Turner from Arsenal and Odysseas Vlachodimos from Olympiacos.
      But the club are having to work within their budget to avoid any FFP problems.
      One man Forest are keen on is Jose Sa at Wolves.
      However, the Portuguese stopper would cost a decent fee.

      And that may not be possible at the moment for the Reds.
      So Marinakis currently has his contacts looking around for potential loan captures.
      One option could be a return for Keylor Navas.
      The Costa Rican was on loan at Forest last season, impressing with 17 appearances.

      Navas is now back at PSG under ex-Barcelona boss Luis Enrique.
      But he is out of the side to Italy’s Gianluigi Donnarumma.
      And his two appearances have both come in the French Cup.
      Navas’ wages are huge at a reported £200,000 a week.
      But they may come within Forest’s reach following last term’s switch.
      The City Ground club are 16th in the table after just five wins, and are only four points above the drop zone.
      Marinakis showed Steve Cooper the door before hiring Nuno Espirito Santo.
      And he wants to halt Forest’s leaky defence which has already conceded 38 goals. More

      The ex-England U21 midfielder moved to St. James’ Park from Arsenal in 2021 after scoring eight goals in 14 appearances during an initial loan.
      Willock is a big favourite on Tyneside but has been out of the side for much of the season.
      The 24-year-old suffered an Achilles injury and he last appeared in the 2-0 defeat at Bournemouth on November 11.
      Youngster Lewis Miley has thrived in his absence with a number of impressive displays.

      However, Newcastle have told potential buyers that there is no chance that Willock moves in this window.
      Eddie Howe has publicly conceded that players could still leave before Thursday’s transfer deadline.
      Miguel Almiron and Callum Wilson look the most likely to move this month.
      The Toon could also be forced to sell Joelinton this summer over a wage dispute.

      But Kieran Trippier, who has been linked with a shock move to Bayern Munich, has insisted that he will stay with the Magpies.
      And while Willock appears to be going nowhere, QPR are willing to cash in on his brother Chris Willock, 25, as his contract runs down.
      Forward Willock has yet to agree terms and could be ready to move on – with rival Championship interest.

      by

      West Ham boss David Moyes is prioritising the signing of a wide player after securing midfielder Kalvin Phillips on loan from Manchester City.
      That means the Hammers will not make a move for Callum Wilson, who is thought to be available because Newcastle are feeling the pressure of Financial Fair Play rules.
      Osman can play anywhere across the front line but has been used most often as a left winger at Nordsjaelland.
      Osman moved to Denmark only a year ago from the Right To Dream Academy in Ghana, the same centre that helped to develop current Hammers star Mohammed Kudus.

      Like Osman, Kudus went from Ghana to Nordsjaelland.
      He then moved to Ajax, from where West Ham signed him last summer.
      The Hammers want to secure Kudus’ compatriot now after interest from Premier League rivals Brentford and Brighton.
      West Ham confirmed the addition of Phillips from Man City on Friday.

      There is no option or obligation to buy included in the deal, but the two clubs are expected to discuss a potential permanent transfer this summer.
      Discussing his move, the midfielder said: “I’m really pleased to be here. There’s always been a lot of speculation about me moving to West Ham, so I’m really excited to get going now.
      “There’s so much to look forward to in the second half of the season for the Club and I can’t wait to be part of it.
      “There’s an unbelievable group here and if I can come in and add the quality that I know I’m capable of, I’m sure we can give the West Ham fans plenty to be excited about between now and the end of the season.” More
