In need of more depth in the centre of the pitch, PSG have been linked with the 26-year-old Doucoure, who joined Watford from Stade Rennais in 2016 for £8 million (£10.5m) and was recognized as the club's player of the year last campaign.

Atletico striker Nikola Kalinic is likely to continue with the club despite the arrival of Alvaro Morata, reports <a href="https://as.com/futbol/2019/01/28/primera/1548642508_169738.html" target="_blank">AS</a>. The club does need to make room for Morata, and have received offers for Kalinic, but it is not certain any of those transfers, along with the departure of Gelson to Monaco, would be enough to free up that space. Atletico boss Diego Simeone likes the attitude of the Croatia international, and should the club reach its desired financial situation with the sale of Jonny to Wolves, he is likely to remain.

Mauricio Pochettino does not want to bring any fresh faces into his&nbsp;Tottenham squad despite a lack of movement in recent transfer windows, claims Harry Redknapp. The Argentine was the only&nbsp;Premier League&nbsp;boss not to welcome any new arrivals during the summer of 2018 and despite injuries to Harry Kane and Dele Alli, no targets have appeared in January.
