12:30pm: Henrikh Mkhitaryan’s move to Arsenal is ‘done’, according to Armenian journalist Thibaud Vezirian.
Mkhitaryan has fallen out of favour at Manchester United and has reportedly been used as a makeweight in negotiations to sign Arsenal forward Alexis Sanchez.
And journalist Vezirian, who calls himself the 'Armenian King', claims the 28-year-old has agreed a deal to join Arsenal.
Sanchez will now head to Manchester to complete his move to the Red Devils.
Vezirian posted on Twitter: “The transfer of Henrikh to Arsenal, it's done! Alexis Sanchez files at Man United.”
11:30am: Liverpool goalkeeper Simon Mignolet admits he is considering his future at the club after Loris Karius took over as first-choice.
"Ten days ago, after the game against Burnley, I had a conversation with Jurgen Klopp," Mignolet told Belgian outlet Sporza. "In the Christmas period we had rotated again and I felt that that was not a healthy situation for a keeper.
"Klopp then told me what (on) Sunday was confirmed before and after the match but of course I'm not happy with that - but no heavy words have come afterwards.
"Of course I am not satisfied with that, but I always have to respect the decision.
"I also have to think about my own future, the only thing I can do is focus on the training and do my best. I'm 30 years old and the World Cup is coming in. This situation can not last too long, that's clear. I cannot say more about it."

When asked how confident he was of being able to bring Sanchez in this month, Mourinho said: "Not confident, but also not unconfident.
"Just relaxed, and with the feeling that he is an Arsenal player, with the feeling that he can stay there, but also with the feeling that he can move, and if he moves, I think we have a chance.
"I think most probably a player like him has other big clubs interested. Who knows?
"I think him, (Arsenal manager Arsene) Wenger, (Arsenal chief executive Ivan) Gazidis - I think they are the ones that know really what is going to happen."
