Thursday delivered some massive transfer news as Victor Osimhen's next transfer was confirmed.
Plus, Xavi Simons completed a blockbuster €80 million transfer and Tottenham agreed a €60m deal with Bayern Munich for Mathys Tel. There's plenty to cover, so let's jump right in.
Osimhen available
In the summer, Victor Osimhen will be available as Napoli have just rejected Galatasaray's offer to make his loan permanent.
Spurs agree Tel deal
Arsenal, Man Utd and Chelsea target Mathys Tel could be on his way to Tottenham after Bayern Munich accepted a €60m bid.
Tel starts Garnacho domino
This could prompt Bayern to get serious about Christopher Nkunku, which would, in turn, give Chelsea the resources to sign Alejandro Garnacho.
Man Utd to offer Garnacho swap?
Alternatively, Man Utd could also look to simply offer Garnacho to Chelsea in a potential swap deal for Nkunku.
Simons joins Leipzig permanently
Long-time Arsenal target Xavi Simons has permanently joined loan club RB Leipzig in a sensational €80 million transfer.
How will Simons influence Sesko's future?
Perhaps more pertinent to Arsenal's situation is how Simons' transfer will influence the future of top target Benjamin Sesko.
Neymar announces Santos return
After having his Al-Hilal contract terminated, Neymar has officially announced that he is returning to boyhood club Santos.
Al-Nassr make Mitoma offer
Saudi giants Al-Nassr have launched an unsuccessful €65m bid for Brighton winger Kaoru Mitoma.
Ajax kingmakers in Rashford future
Ajax could hold the key to Marcus Rashford's future as they are interested in the Barcelona star whose departure could unlock the deal.
Dorgu delay
Patrick Dorgu's arrival in Manchester has been delayed, but Man Utd fans need not worry as the transfer is not in jeopardy.
Nypan decision soon
Sverre Nypan is expected to choose his next club before the weekend, according to his father, with Arsenal in contention to sign the Norwegian wonderkid.
Paz eyed by Arsenal
Arsenal have been scouting Como youngster Nico Paz in recent times but Real Madrid are also keeping close tabs on their former wonderkid and they boast a buy-back clause.
Ferguson close to West Ham
West Ham are optimistic about striking a deal for Brighton attacker Evan Ferguson as a move to Arsenal has proved complicated due to the Gunners' loan spots already being filled.
Denner to Chelsea confirmed
Corinthians president Augusto Melo has confirmed that Chelsea are set to sign 16-year-old wonderkid Denner in a transfer he described as a 'wonderful sale' for his club.
Felix wants out
The Transfers Podcast understands that Chelsea attacker Joao Felix is determined to leave the club before the February 3 deadline.
