But Brazilian outlet UOL say Wolves star Cunha is top of their wish list.

Werner is on loan at Spurs from RB Leipzig but the German has had a poor season and is currently out with a hamstring injury.
Spurs want to sign a new forward this month but it remains to be seen if they would let Werner leave, given the lack of forward options available to Ange Postecoglou due to their injury crisis.

Lecce manager Marco Giampaolo said yesterday: “Top European clubs want him so it’s normal to be affected at some point… but he’s very mature and serious guy.

According to Fabrizio Romano, everything has been agreed now for Veiga to seal his switch to Turin.
He will undergo a medical and officially sign his contract this weekend, remaining with Juve until the end of the current season.

Saturday 25 January 2025 21:45 , Alex Young
Newcastle will offer Alexander Isak a huge new contract at the end of the season in an attempt to keep him out of the grasps of interested clubs, such as Arsenal.
The Telegraph report that the striker is not for sale at any price despite talks over an extension last year being paused, and discussions were begin again in the summer.
It is understood that £150million would tempt Newcastle into selling, a price which is realistically out of reach for any club, while the striker has not been distracted by continual transfer speculation.
But a summer bidding war is anticipated, and Newcastle want to get ahead of it by making Isak the highest-paid player in their history.
Real Madrid want to sign Fernandez without paying a transfer fee
Saturday 25 January 2025 21:16 , Alex Young
Real Madrid are plotting an audacious move for Chelsea captain Enzo Fernandez.
Fernandez is a target for the Spanish giants, though they hope to sign the £107million midfielder without paying a transfer fee.
That is because, according to reports from South America, Madird want to negotiate a swap deal by offering Aurelien Tchouameni.
Tchouameni, who cost almost £70m in 2022, is reportedly open to leave Madrid because he’s been played out of position in defence.
Fernandez initially struggled at Chelsea but has since grown into a key player in the team.
West Ham clear to sign Brobbey after Tottenham links
Saturday 25 January 2025 21:02 , Alex Young
The path looks clear for West Ham to sign Brian Brobbey.
The Dutch international forward has apparently been offered to the Hammers by Ajax, who will only accept a permanent transfer this month or at least an obligation to buy in the summer rather than a straight loan deal.
It remains to be seen if West Ham will be willing to commit to that, though it seems that Tottenham will not battle their London rivals for Brobbey.
Standard Sport understands that he is not a player currently on Spurs’ transfer radar amid reports of their interest on Friday.

Saturday 25 January 2025 19:44 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne
Enzo Maresca has said Robert Sanchez will remain Chelsea’s No1 for the remainder of the season.
However, will the Blues boss change his mind following yet another costly mistake from the goalkeeper in today’s 3-1 loss to Manchester City?

“For this season? No doubt. But then in the future, we don’t know. It is not only about Robert. It is not even about me, you know? I’m focused on this moment, this season. Since we started, Robert is getting better, but he is still far from where I want him to be.”

West Ham have been linked with moves for Jhon Duran, Andre Silva and Ajax’s Brian Bobbey before the transfer window closes.
However, Graham Potter was reluctant to comment on the club’s search for a new striker.
“If I answered every question on the speculation then we would be here a long time and it would be pretty tedious,” he told reporters. “So we just ignore the noise and help the players that are injured to get back.
“We are always looking obviously, but there are lots of factors. The club invested a lot of money in the summer, so we have to be mindful of that – and in this window, it is always complicated to find the right person.
“It is important to work with the players that are here to help them improve, so that is the focus and is what we have been doing.”
