The January transfer window is now little more than a dot in the rearview mirror and as such European football has got back to the business of winning games and challenging for as much silverware and success as possible between now and the end of the season. However, as all football fans know, the rumour mill never truly sleeps and while the summer transfer window may be many months away, there are still plenty of top stories to dig into in the meantime.

Managers will be constantly assessing their squads with sporting directors and recruitment staff scanning the market for potential deals this summer. The rumour mill is still gathering pace and we’ve collated some of the biggest current transfer stories – you can access the full rumour mill below.

Today’s biggest transfer stories

Arsenal, Manchester City and Manchester United are set to battle it out to sign Newcastle United midfielder Sandro Tonali this summer, per reports in Italy. The Italy international is thought to be exploring a move away from St James’ Park and his transfer fee could exceed €115 million.

Meanwhile, Chelsea striker Liam Delap has emerged as a potential striker target for the Magpies. Delap has scored only once in the Premier League since his move from Ipswich Town last summer, and the 23-year-old may welcome the chance for a fresh start after being reduced to an impact role from the bench.

Tottenham have reportedly sent scouts to watch Freiburg goalkeeper Noah Atubolu. The 23-year-old has earned rave reviews in the Bundesliga this season. He is one of several options being considered if current first-choice stopper Guglielmo Vicario returns to Italy, with Inter Milan keen on signing him.
