The January transfer window closes at 23:00 on Tuesday 31 January.
Good morning and welcome to The Independent's January transfer live blog, where we'll bring you all the latest news, rumours and done deals every day until deadline day on Tuesday 31 January.
The big news this morning is that Tottenham's impressive form of late has not gone unnoticed, with The Sun reporting that both Manchester United and Manchester City are showing interest in their full-backs, Danny Rose and Kyle Walker. City manager Pep Guardiola is known to be looking for reinforcements to his aging defence, while Jose Mourinho has not been convinced by his full-back options with Luke Shaw and Matteo Darmian facing uncertain futures.
Elsewhere, City are also believed to be keeping a close eye on Arsenal's on-loan midfielder Jack Wilshere with a view to making a move for the England international once he leaves Bournemouth at the end of the season. Wilshere is expected to return to Arsenal, although with contract talks yet to begin over an extension to his current deal that expires in 2018, he could be on the move in the summer.
One player who isn't on the move though is Liverpool midfielder Philippe Coutinho after manager Jurgen Klopp ruled out a move to Spain, with Barcelona and Real Madrid thought to be among the clubs interested in the 24-year-old. The Brazilian is expected to return to the Liverpool squad for tonight's EFL Cup semi-final first leg against Southampton after seven weeks on the sidelines with injury.
Finally, Chelsea are ready to launch a move for Swansea striker Fernando Llorente that will see the Blues take the former Juventus and Athletic Bilbao forward on a loan deal until the end of the season. As part of the move, Chelsea's Michy Batshuayi could head in the opposite direction to link up with recently-appointed Swansea manager Paul Clement, but West Ham are also said to be interested in the Belgium international.

Here's today's transfer rumour round-up, featuring Manchester United, Manchester City and Tottenham:
Jack Pitt-Brooke brings you news out of Brentford, where the club are attempting to sign former Liverpool starlet Sergi Canos from Norwich City. However, they face competition from fellow Championship side Leeds United, and the move also hinges on West Ham completing their move for forward Scott Hogan:
Reports claim that Stoke have made an offer for unhappy West Brom striker Saido Berahino, who has made just five appearances for the Baggies this season after falling out with manager Tony Pulis. The England Under-21 international has attempted to leave The Hawthorns in the past, and it's claimed that Stoke have offered him another way out of the club if he is given the green light.
West Brom striker Saido Berahino is out of favour with manager Tony Pulis
A £56m offer rejected? Confusion remains over Arsenal's supposed offer for Torino striker Andrea Belotti, but The View From Italy is that the Gunners will need to splash the cash if they want to sign him:
Once the most wanted young player on the planet, Martin Odegaard has left Real Madrid, albeit only on loan, in search of some first-team football.
He's landed with Heerenveen in the Eredivisie where he'll play for 18 months.
Madrid have a callback clause on that deal for this summer.
