Fulham leave it late to draw up striker wish-list
Fulham staff have been at the training ground since the early hours in their search for a striker.
As colleagues have reported Armando Broja and Hugo Ekitike head a list of up to 20 names that have been mooted.
They include Ajax’s Chuba Akpom although the Amsterdam club are reluctant to let him go and have turned down a bid of 12.5million Euros from a club in France

Where in the world will Armando Broja end up?
Text from Fulham source is short and simple: ‘Broja too expensive.’ Chelsea pricing their striker out of the move so Marco Silva’s side are assessing other targets, one of those being Paris Saint-Germain’s Hugo Ekitike, as revealed by Mail Sport’s Matt Hughes.
Ekitike was formerly a West Ham target – he’s been keen on a switch to the Premier League for some time.
It’s down to Chelsea to lower their valuation if they want to sell or loan Broja.

Give us a smile, Enzo!
Is there a more prickly manager in English football than Enzo Maresca?
A former member of Pep Guardiola’s backroom team, Maresca was handed one of the most impressive squads in the history of the Championship and at Leicester and is making the most of it by leading them towards instant promotion.
But he wants more love from Foxes fans bored at his painstaking sub-Manchester City playing style and grumpily threatened to leave this week if he did not get it.
However, this should put a smile on Maresca’s face: Italian midfielder Stefano Sensi is finally set to join on loan from Inter Milan, with a £2m fee payable if they go up.
Feyenoord look to derail Brighton’s plans for Bryan Gil
Feyenoord are trying to hijack Brighton’s move for Tottenham midfielder Bryan Gil. The Dutch club have contacted Spurs about the Spaniard’s availability.

It’s been a quieter window compared to other year’s due to the compliance of the new rules. The winter window is always very different to the summer one.
If you work in the business you understand what clubs are looking for. When a club ends up in the last 48 or 24 hours still looking for players, I would say almost everything is up for grabs because they become pretty desperate.
Wolves could pounce as Fulham flip-flop over Broja
Wolves are following the Armando Broja situation closely. They had been tracking the Chelsea forward all month, only to press pause on the deal – as revealed by Mail Sport in January – because the proposed loan deal contained an obligation to buy at £35m.
That was deemed too high by Wolves, and so is the current loan fee of £5m.
If that drops, though, their position may change.
Save for a few outgoings, Arsenal have been relatively quite
Arsenal are set to have more youngsters going out the club today.
Mail Sport understands that the north London club are working on outgoing deals for at least a further two young players.
It follows Lino Sousa signing for Aston Villa yesterday before being loaned out to Plymouth, and Charles Sagoe Jr finalising his loan move to Swansea.
Man United wave goodbye to Isak Handsen-Aaroen
All Quiet on the Northeastern Front
Transfer update from Tyneside… there isn’t one! As we reported on Monday, the club weren’t expecting any incomings after Miguel Almiron’s move to Saudi Arabia did not progress. The player wanted to stay at St James’ Park. Because of PSR restrictions, that meant Newcastle had no headroom to bring a player in and, as a result, they will see out the season with the current squad.
One big concern is the injury to Alexander Isak. Sources say the initial expectation was ‘a few weeks’ following the game at Aston Villa on Tuesday. However, more news is awaited on that front. Either way, it leaves the likelihood that Eddie Howe will be forced to start with Anthony Gordon as a central striker against Luton on Saturday with Callum Wilson still returning from a calf layoff. He has a chance of making the bench at best.

Villa plumps for teenage West Ham starlet
An answer to that eternal question… WHY is everything taking so long?
Why do deals that appear relatively straightforward on the face of it often seem to take days or weeks to complete?
Spoke to a recruitment expert and they said that because there is so much money at stake, even a move of 0.5 per cent on an aspect of the deal can swing millions of pounds in either direction.
So everyone digs in and waits for the other side to fold.
Wrexham ramps up promotion push with eye-catching recruitment

Been told it could be very, very late, though, so plenty of work to do.
Wolves loan out attacker… but still no sign of incomings
One out at Wolves with young attacker Theo Corbeanu set to join Granada on a permanent deal. The Canadian, still only 21, has never been able to make an impact at Molineux but will have a chance to kickstart his career in La Liga.

Expect a quiet end to the window from the Hammers
I’m told David Moyes isn’t impressed that for the second transfer deadline day running, West Ham are playing a Premier League game. Imagine if they were interested in a Bournemouth player, how awkward that would be at the London Stadium tonight. West Ham tried to sign Dominic Solanke in the summer but their bid, described as a ‘big offer’, was turned down.
I’ll be at the London Stadium later for that one. But as of this morning, West Ham aren’t close to signing anyone. One source has messaged to say their only business today is expected to be Said Benrahma to Lyon, if indeed that gets over the line.
West Ham were interested in Ibrahim Osman of Danish side Nordsjaelland and Al-Ittihad’s Jota, but those potential transfers have encountered complications, so it’s looking like Kalvin Phillips will be the club’s only arrival in this window unless a target suddenly becomes available later.

Newcastle steal a march on rivals to nab Man City youngster Alfie Harrison
Newcastle’s move to sign Manchester City youngster Alfie Harrison could end up totalling around £3.5million.
The 18-year-old hasn’t featured for Pep Guardiola’s first team but has impressed for the academy sides.
And Newcastle stole a march on others to finalise a deal for Harrison. The initial fee is thought to be lower than the £3.5m, which is dependent on the triggering of clauses. City have also inserted a sell-on percentage.
