January transfer window news & rumours LIVE: Juventus join Inter in Modric chase

Former Watford striker Odion Ighalo could be set for a shock move to Barcelona, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sport.es/es/noticias/barca/ighalo-una-nueva-alternativa-para-delantera-del-barca-7241355" target="_blank">Sport</a>.&nbsp; The Catalan side want to bring in a new attacker on a short-term deal to enhance their front line in the second half of the season. Many targets have emerged, but Ighalo sticks out because of his exploits at Watford and experience in La Liga with Granada. He only joined&nbsp;Changchun Yatai in 2017, but Ighalo is ready to return to Europe and has offers from the Premier League, but Barca could swoop in with a loan offer.

Real Madrid have been warned they will have to pay €350 million (£313m/$400m) to land Tottenham star Harry Kane, <a href="https://as.com/futbol/2019/01/12/primera/1547251241_203482.html?" target="_blank">AS</a>&nbsp;claims. The Spanish side have been heavily linked with the 25-year-old striker and need&nbsp;to bring in a new star goal scorer following Cristiano Ronaldo's departure. The newspaper reports Madrid made contact with Spurs in December to get a sense of how much the Premier League side would want for the England international.&nbsp; But Spurs hope their massive asking price will warn Madrid off as they remain determined to keep their star man.

Mauricio Pochettino “has no reason to leave” Tottenham, says Teddy Sheringham, with there no longer a lack of ambition in north London which makes Manchester United an intriguing alternative. Pochettino is considered to be among the top candidates to get the full-time job with the Red Devils, as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer currently leads the club on an interim basis. While the former Spurs striker once left the London club for Old Trafford, sees no reason for the Tottenham manager to leave the club. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/pochettino-has-no-need-to-leave-tottenham-man-utd-no-longer/fjnxn0zrsa1b1sfetk09gxjgm" target="_blank">Read the full story on Goal!</a>

Manuel Pellegrini said he hoped Marko Arnautovic would "take the best decision for everyone" after he appeared to wave goodbye to West Ham fans during the 1-0&nbsp;Premier League&nbsp;win against&nbsp;Arsenal.
