Premier League news

Pep Guardiola has sarcastically claimed he wished Manchester City would spend more money after they splashed £84m ($114m) in the January transfer window on Marc Guehi and Antoine Semenyo. City have invested more in new players than any Premier League club for the second consecutive winter transfer window but Guardiola was at pains to point out that six teams have a higher net spend over the last seven years.

Mikel Arteta has launched a staunch defence of his Arsenal side, dismissing claims from Paul Scholes that they would be the "most boring team to win the Premier League." On the eve of a crucial Carabao Cup semi final clash with Chelsea, the Gunners boss laughed off the criticism, insisting that his team is widely regarded as "the most exciting in Europe."

Gary Neville believes Alejandro Garnacho’s confidence has been “shot to pieces” at Chelsea, with the former Manchester United winger putting in a “horrible” performance for the Blues against West Ham. He was dragged out of that contest at half-time, with Liam Rosenior’s side battling their way back to claim a 3-2 win. Questions are being asked of Garnacho’s contribution to the collective cause.

Newcastle manager Eddie Howe has finally broken his silence on the shock deadline day reports linking Sandro Tonali with a move to Arsenal. The Magpies boss faced uncomfortable questions on Tuesday regarding whether the sudden speculation signals the start of a destabilising campaign, drawing parallels to the long-running saga that ultimately saw Alexander Isak leave St James’ Park for Liverpool last summer.

Casemiro said he had "many more memories to create" when announcing that he was leaving Manchester United at the end of the season, and he has certainly delivered on that promise thus far. In the two games since his departure was confirmed in January, he has played his part in a tantalising 3-2 win at Arsenal before leading from the front in the equally dramatic 3-2 victory over Fulham.

And there we have it. The January transfer window is closed for another year, and though it was a relatively quiet month when it came to big-money deals, that does now mean we could be set up for another blockbuster summer in terms of comings and goings.

Former Manchester United and Portugal winger Nani has had his say on some of the top attacking talents in European football, offering his backing to the likes of Marcus Rashford and Antoine Semenyo. The four-time Premier League winner was eventually forced to choose his ultimate forward in a bracket that included Real Madrid sensation Jude Bellingham and Barcelona prodigy Lamine Yamal - scroll on to find out who won!

Shea Lacey has sent a reminder to interim Manchester United boss Michael Carrick of what he has to offer, with the Red Devils wonderkid netting a stunning hat-trick in Premier League 2 competition. The exciting teenager has already made a senior breakthrough in 2025-26, but experienced mixed emotions after being given his chance to shine on a first-team stage.

Manchester United flop Donny van de Beek has announced his engagement to Estelle Bergkamp, the daughter of Arsenal legend Dennis. The Dutch midfielder endured a tough time on the field at Old Trafford, leading to an inevitable departure in 2024, but has had plenty to celebrate off the pitch. He and his fiancee are now preparing to draw up wedding plans.

The 2026 winter window closed on Monday, with Jorgen Strand Larsen's $66 million move from Wolves to Crystal Palace the biggest deal done on deadline day. Truth be told, though, it was a pretty tame end to what's been a fairly quiet month in the transfer market. Indeed, aside from Manchester City, most of Europe's top teams did next-to-no mid-season business, while there was very little movement at all in France, Germany or Spain - which wasn't that surprising, given January is traditionally a tough time to find good value for money.

Crystal Palace have been accused of showing a "complete disregard" for player welfare following the dramatic late collapse of Dwight McNeil’s proposed transfer from Everton. The winger’s partner, Megan Sharpley, has issued a scathing condemnation of the London club, accusing them of "toying" with McNeil's mental health after they pulled the plug on a £20 million deal without explanation, despite a deal sheet being submitted and a medical completed.

Famously, the January transfer window is the more difficult of the two to operate in. It's hard to persuade other clubs to give up assets mid-season, sometimes even harder to convince players that they're better off making a move immediately rather than waiting until the following summer. But that doesn't mean deals are impossible, or that you can't get good value for your buck.

Axel Disasi has finally brought his Stamford Bridge purgatory to a close by securing a dramatic deadline day switch to West Ham. The French defender, the last remaining high-profile member of the infamous 'bomb squad' created during the Enzo Maresca era, has moved across London on a straight loan deal for the remainder of the campaign after a frantic race against the clock.

Viktor Gyokeres has explained how his iconic goal celebration came about, with a nod being offered to DC Comics star Bane, while discussing his start to life in the Premier League at Arsenal. The Sweden international striker admits that a stint in the Premier League has been challenging, but he is delighted to form part of a Premier League title bid at Emirates Stadium.

Celtic are reportedly interested in signing free agent Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, who is training with Arsenal. The midfielder has been without a club since leaving Besiktas in August, and he could now be on the verge of finding a new club. Mikel Arteta has also been asked about the former England star's future and whether he could stay on at Arsenal.

Liverpool have confirmed a transfer has now been agreed with Rennes for highly-rated centre-back Jeremy Jacquet. The defender will spent the rest of the season with the Ligue 1 side and will then head to Anfield at the end of the 2025-26 season. Chelsea had been keen to land the 20-year-old but have been beaten to his signature by Arne Slot's side.
