Sevilla are reportedly interested in a transfer move for Manchester United forward Anthony Martial as an alternative to Chelsea striker Alvaro Morata.

According to ESPN, the France international is now in their sights as they consider a somewhat ambitious swoop for the 23-year-old who is now said to be happy at Old Trafford since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer replaced Jose Mourinho as manager.

Martial may, however, feel a move away is still a decent idea for his prospects of more first-team football in his preferred centre-forward role.

Having been shifted out wide more often than not at United, Martial could be given a more key role leading the line for Sevilla, without the likes of Romelu Lukaku and Marcus Rashford to worry about as competition.

The former Monaco man is, however, a big fan favourite with Red Devils supporters so they will surely be eager not to see him leave as he surely still as his best years ahead of him.

Barcelona unveiled new signing Jean-Clair Todibo on Thursday night, and revealed which shirt number the starlet will take at the Nou Camp.

As noted by the club’s statement, the 19-year-old was expected to arrive at Barcelona in the summer when his contract expired at Toulouse.

However, the Catalan giants have opted to accelerate the switch, perhaps with the fact that he has been frozen out of the first-team squad in recent weeks in mind, and so now he’ll begin the process of settling and acclimatising at his new club, with new teammates and environment in the coming months.

As seen in the video below, the youngster was unveiled on Thursday night with his official presentation to come on Friday, while there was big news in the form of his squad number being revealed.

It comes with a lot of pressure given club legend Xavi recently wore it, but the Frenchman will don the No.6 jersey at Barcelona and he’ll hope to live up to expectations moving forward.

Time will tell how immediate of an impact he can make, as ultimately it might take a settling in period to adjust to the style of play and culture at Barcelona. Nevertheless, the club certainly believe in his qualities, as shown in their decision to fast-track his move rather than waiting until the summer.

Arsenal are reportedly weighing up a surprise late transfer swoop for Chelsea defender Gary Cahill this January.

The former England international could be a useful short-term signing for the Gunners, with the Mirror reporting that he’s in their sights following a fresh potential injury crisis at the back.

Sokratis Papastathopoulos and Laurent Koscielny both suffered injuries in the 3-1 home defeat to Manchester United in the FA Cup and would surely need replacing.

And while Cahill is no longer at the peak of his powers, he surely still has enough to offer Arsenal until the end of the season and perhaps a little longer.

It wasn’t so long ago that the 33-year-old was considered one of the finest centre-backs in the business, having long been a key player for Chelsea.

Gary Cahill to leave Chelsea for Arsenal?

Arsenal are reportedly a step closer to sealing the transfer of Real Madrid midfielder Casemiro.

This is because, according to Don Balon, Los Blancos are making plans to replace the Brazil international with Borussia Dortmund’s Julian Weigl.

Casemiro would be a superb signing for Arsenal, who urgently need an upgrade on Granit Xhaka and Mohamed Elneny in that defensive midfield role.

Despite a dip in form for Madrid this season – like many of his team-mates – Casemiro remains one of the best players in the world in his position.

Don Balon recently linked the 26-year-old with a potential move to the Gunners, with Real surprisingly prepared to let him go if they receive an offer worth around £52million.

After a shaky start to life in Italy, Chelsea loanee Tiemoue Bakayoko is seemingly continuing to change opinion as he impressed for AC Milan on Monday.

As noted by Sky Sports, the 24-year-old is on a season-long loan deal from Chelsea, while the Italian giants are said to have an option to make it a permanent move this summer.

Based on the level of his performances in recent months, it may well be an easy decision for Milan to make as Bakayoko once again stood out as a key player in their win over Genoa on Monday, which took them back into the top four in Serie A.

Bakayoko struggled in his debut campaign at Stamford Bridge last season, failing to show the quality that ultimately earned him his transfer from Monaco.

In turn, his move to Italy was considered crucial in proving his worth moving forward, and with Lucas Biglia sidelined with injury over the last two months, he has grabbed his opportunity with both hands and continues to impress.

As noted in the tweets below, some of which even came from Chelsea fans, he has certainly turned things around after being heavily criticised for not showing his quality previously, and so it remains to be seen if Milan do exercise that reported option to sign him permanently.

From his defensive coverage in front of the backline to his driving runs forward, Bakayoko has seemingly regained his confidence and deserves a great deal of credit for putting a disappointing and difficult period in his career behind him.

Should he continue his current form, it may even leave some Chelsea fans questioning whether or not he perhaps should have been given more time in west London…

Arsenal are targeting a loan approach for Real Betis full-back Aissa Mandi, to fill in for the injured Hector Bellerin until the end of the season.

According to El Desmarque via Football London, Gunners boss Unai Emery wants to bring in the Spanish right-back on a temporary deal until the summer, with the option to make the move permanent for £26 million thereafter.

Bellerin sustained a horrifying ACL injury during Arsenal’s 2-0 win against Chelsea earlier in the month, which has left Emery short on options in defence.

Mandi could slot into his fellow countryman’s position at the Emirates Stadium seamlessly, but it remains to be seen whether or not Betis will be willing to offload one of their key players at this stage of the campaign.

The 27-year-old defender has appeared in 29 matches for the Spanish outfit this season, helping them to climb up to eighth in La Liga, with the Europa League knockout phase and Copa Del Rey quarterfinals still to look forward to additionally.

Meanwhile, Arsenal are fifth in the Premier League and facing an uphill battle to finish in the top four, level on points with Man United and three behind Chelsea, who currently occupy the final Champions League spot.

The Gunners have been strong going forward throughout the year, but defensively they have been vulnerable, which has ultimately held them back in pursuit of major honours.

Emery’s side now realistically have only the Europa League to play for between now and May, but winning the competition could be vital for the club if they ultimately miss out on a place in the top four domestically.

Bellerin has been a consistent starter for Arsenal this term and without him, they could be left even more open at the back, which is why bringing in Mandi is so crucial for the club over the next two days.

The transfer deadline is fast approaching but this loan switch could still easily be sanctioned in time and Mandi could take his career to the next level by pushing through a last minute move to the Emirates Stadium.

Real Madrid are reportedly planning transfer raids for Chelsea star Eden Hazard and Tottenham’s Christian Eriksen if they cannot sign Neymar.

That’s according to pundit Guillem Balague, who told BBC 5 Live, as quoted by the Daily Star, that Los Blancos were putting aside €300million to bring in Neymar from Paris Saint-Germain, but that that money could also go on Hazard and Eriksen as a Plan B.

‘He can’t cost less than €300m? Right now, Real Madrid are putting that aside to see if he’s available,’ Balague said.

‘Otherwise that money will go to Hazard and Eriksen. That’s the plan so far.’

Not a bad alternative to have for Madrid, who look in urgent need of a big shake-up up front after the loss of Cristiano Ronaldo in the summer, with Gareth Bale and Marco Asensio not really stepping up in his absence, while 31-year-old Karim Benzema is surely not a long-term option.

Real signing Neymar certainly seems ideal for them, with the Brazilian a comparable figure to Ronaldo in terms of both his ability and presence on the pitch, plus his marketability off it.

However, fans would surely not turn their noses up at Hazard and Eriksen as alternatives, with both the Belgian and the Dane up there with the finest attacking players in Europe in recent seasons.

Arsenal are reportedly growing confident they can bring in Roma chief Monchi as their replacement for Sven Mislintat as head of recruitment.

The Independent link the former Sevilla man with the Gunners, with manager Unai Emery said to have approved the potential appointment after working with him in the past.

This would be an exciting appointment for Arsenal and could be crucial to help them move forward as they attempt to rebuild and modernise the club following the summer departure of Arsene Wenger.

The Frenchman was notable for having huge amounts of control and influence at the Emirates Stadium, but in the modern era managers are increasingly referred to more often as head coaches, who are in charge of team selection and training rather than transfers.

At Sevilla, Monchi worked well to deliver Emery some quality signings on the cheap, helping discover top talents like Ivan Rakitic, now a star player at Barcelona.

If you look closely in this video below, it appears as though some Senegal fans have made it clear they want Sadio Mane to stay at Liverpool instead of seal a transfer to Real Madrid.

The 26-year-old has recently been linked as a target for the Spanish giants by Marca, following a superb season at Anfield.

However, the feeling among some Senegal supporters is that he should snub an offer to move to the Bernabeu, as a few fans can be seen holding up a banner with the Real Madrid logo and a red cross through it.

Liverpool fans will love this gesture – now they just need to hope it works!
