Transfer news LIVE! Deadline day twist in Mathys Tel saga as Arsenal and Man Utd hunt late deals – UK Times

A move we’ve been expecting confirmation of for a while, Marco Asensio has joined Aston Villa on loan from PSG.

The three-time Champions League winner joins until the end of the season.

Asensio adds another attacking option to Unai Emery’s side after they captured Marcus Rashford from Man Utd on loan.

The Independent’s Miguel Delaney reports that West Brom have turned down a £15m offer from Everton for English forward Tom Fellows.

It is said that Everton, Brentford and Southampton are the sides most interested in the 21-year-old, who will likely leave in the summer.

The Daily Mail reports that former Southampton midfielder Carlos Alcaraz is “having his Everton medical” ahead of a move to Merseyside.

Alcaraz joins on loan from Brazilian club Flamengo, and will stay at Goodison Park until the end of the season.

The links surrounding Alejandro Garnacho’s future dominated the rumour mill for several days, but it appears that the Argentine will stay in Manchester.

Fabrizio Romano reports that Garnacho is “set to stay, [an] internal decision has been made”.

Tottenham have managed to revive their move for Mathys Tel with the Bayern Munich forward set to join the club, the PA news agency understands.

Spurs entered talks with the 19-year-old last week after an agreement with Bayern had been struck for a deal worth in the region of 60 million euros (£50.2m).

However, negotiations stalled on Friday with Premier League rivals Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United also interested in France international Tel – but he is now set to link up with Tottenham, although the exact structure of the deal is still to be finalised.

Tom Collomosse of the Daily Mail is reporting that Aston Villa’s deal to bring Marco Asensio to Villa Park is “edging closer”.

Asensio “should join Villa until the end of the season”, after PSG freed up an international loan spot with the sale of Cher Ndour to Fiorentina, reports Collomosse.

Manchester United signed two new players over the weekend, the first arrivals of Ruben Amorim’s reign: the 18-year-old centre-back Ayden Heaven joined from Arsenal on Saturday, and 20-year-old left-back Patrick Dorgu landed from Lecce on Sunday. After a summer window spent signing young but established talent for Erik ten Hag, the winter window has seen a shift towards raw potential.

What is so unusual about Dorgu is just how quickly he has risen from relative obscurity to join one of Europe’s giant clubs (giant by reputation if not by actual football). Lecce spotted Dorgu playing in the youth ranks for Danish side Nordsjælland – a club renowned for nurturing young talent with Brighton’s Simon Adingra and Brentford’s Mikkel Damsgaard among their graduates – and he moved to Italy aged 17 in a transfer worth £170,000.

At the time, there was no suggestion that he was the next great hope of Danish football. “He never really did that well as a youth player in Denmark,” journalist Karsten Krogh told the BBC. “He was never a star anywhere. It wasn’t like the other teams in Denmark were lining up to get his signature.”

Fabrizio Romano is reporting that PSV Eindhoven are closing in on a loan deal for Manchester United defender Tyrell Malacia.

The agreement is “at [the] final stages”, says Romano.

According to Sami Mokbel of the Daily Mail, Tottenham are currently trying to revive a deal for Chelsea defender Axel Disasi to join on loan.

It is said that the Frenchman has previously been reluctant to join Spurs, but the London club have tried to resurrect a deal by convincing the player of the move.

Matt Law of the Daily Telegraph has reported that Chelsea have agreed a deal to sign St-Etienne midfielder Mathis Amougou.

The young Frenchman will join in a deal worth around €15m, and will likely be loaned out initially.
