Bale in talks with four Premier League teams

09:00: Real Madrid forward Gareth Bale is in talks with Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea and Tottenham about a return to the Premier League, according to reports.

Bale could leave Real Madrid in the summer having struggled for game time at the Bernabeu in the past year, with injuries hampering his contribution.

And Spanish outlet Don Balon claim four Premier League teams are in talks with the 28-year-old about a move at the end of the campaign.

Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea and Tottenham are all supposedly interested in bringing the Wales international back to England. 

Chelsea double swoop

07.30: Chelsea are closing in on a deal for Edin Dzeko and left back Emerson Palmieri  in a double swoop on Roma.

The Blues are keen on bringing in new recruits this month and want a striker and a left-back.

And Dzeko and Palmieri are on their radar. The Telegraph claim Roma are prepared to sell both players but it is dependent on Chelsea being willing to break their over-30 policy with the move for Dzeko.

The former Manchester City striker is now 31 but would be deemed a good upgrade on Michy Batshuayi.

Kenedy exit

07.15: Kenedy will join Newcastle in the next 24 hours, according to the Daily Mail.

Rafa Benitez has been trying to get a loan deal over the line all month.

And that move looks like it is getting closer.

Courtois to Real Madrid

07.00: Chelsea are concerned Thibaut Courtois will NOT sign a new deal at the club and could leave for Real Madrid.

Courtois had been in contract talks over a new deal at Stamford Bridge, but Chelsea believe Real Madrid are interested again.

Madrid are keen on landing a new keeper and a deal for Kepa fell through last week meaning they are still on the lookout.

Courtois appears to be leading the race over David de Gea to replace Keylor Navas as the No 1 at the Bernabeu.
