January transfer window 2019: Premier League transfer round-up

The Premier League's January transfer window is upon us with Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea all set to be busy.

Liverpool were the summer's biggest spenders with no fewer than four new arrivals. Goalkeeper Alisson was the headline-grabber with the Brazilian already proving worth every penny of the world-record fee the Reds shelled out for the Brazilian. Could long-term target Nabil Fekir join him? United got a couple of new faces in through the door in the summer but it hasn't made a difference with Jose Mourinho out and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in. Will he spend them out of trouble in the January sales?

Chelsea have made the biggest splash with the signing of Borussia Dortmund's Christian Pulisic while Manchester City, Tottenham and Arsenal could all choose to dip their toes in the water as they battle for an all-important top four spot. We will have all the latest news, views, rumours, gossip and done deals right here so don't touch that dial.

Valencia will make a move for West Ham United‘s Javier Hernandez in January, and believe the Mexican international wants to return to La Liga.

The Spanish club are eager to change their goal-shy attack due to the struggles of Kevin Gameiro and Michy Batshuayi, with the latter set to return to Chelsea after an unsatisfactory loan move.

Valencia’s financial situation means they would favour a similar temporary move for Hernandez, but that is seen as the main obstacle to any deal.

Brahim Diaz says it was "impossible" not to leave Manchester City and sign for the club of his dreams Real Madrid.

The Spanish midfielder joins on a six-and-a-half year deal for around £15.5million from the Premier League champions, the deal being announced after a 2-0 defeat by Real Sociedad on Sunday left them fifth in La Liga.

And as we unveiled at the Bernabeu the 19-year-old could scarcely be happier.
