TEAMtalk

West Ham are set to win the race for Chelsea star Axel Disasi despite Tottenham Hotspur showing interest in the defender on deadline day, TEAMtalk can confirm.

The Hammers have been pursuing a deal for the five-time capped France international for some time as Nuno Espirito Santo looks to bring in crucial defensive reinforcements.

Disasi, 27, hasn’t made a single competitive appearance this season. He was not in Enzo Maresca’s plans, and his situation hasn’t changed since Liam Rosenior’s appointment as Chelsea manager, despite returning to first-team training.

West Ham have been pushing to win the race, but they have faced significant competition.

We revealed earlier today that Tottenham have explored a last-ditch move for Disasi amid their defensive injuries, while Serie A clubs AC Milan and Fiorentina registered firm interest.

However, we can confirm that Disasi has now green-lit a move to West Ham and is set to undergo a medical ahead of officially completing a switch to the London Stadium.

The breakthrough comes after the Hammers suffered a blow in their pursuit of another defender – Southampton centre-back Taylor Harwood-Bellis – who is set to remain at St Mary’s for the season.

Disasi will join West Ham on a straight loan deal, and will provide important cover at centre-back and right-back for Nuno, and fight for a place in the starting XI.

The Hammers’ pursuit of Disasi took on increased importance after centre-back Jean-Clair Todibo received a red card for violent conduct against Chelsea on Saturday.

Todibo now faces a three-game ban and this hands an opportunity to Disasi to potentially nail down his spot in the team immediately.

Disasi’s signing could prove to be vital for West Ham, as they fight to avoid relegation.

They currently sit third-bottom of the Premier League table – six points adrift from safety.

Latest West Ham news: Kinsky deal OFF…

Meanwhile, West Ham’s move to sign Tottenham goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky on loan, with an option to buy, has dramatically collapsed, with Spurs choosing to ‘abort’ the deal in a late twist.

Tottenham have blocked the transfer of one of their players to a London rival despite personal terms being agreed, and in truth, the move made very little sense to begin with.

Tottenham have been one of the busier Premier League sides this month, making moves for the likes of Souza and Conor Gallagher.

There’s been no shortage of interest in Spurs players too, with the club attempting to bat away approaches for Mathys Tel and Randal Kolo Muani, to name just two.

Another heavily linked with leaving was back-up goalkeeper, Antonin Kinsky.

To the surprise of many, West Ham agreed personal terms with the Czech stopper whose departure would have necessitated Spurs going into the market for a direct replacement.

A six-month loan that potentially contained an option to buy was under discussion between the clubs.

However, multiple sources including The Athletic have now confirmed Tottenham have pulled the plug. In doing so, they’ve also removed the need to go out and a buy a new back-up keeper in the final hours before tonight’s 7pm deadline.

The Athletic reported: ‘One of the strangest stories of the window comes to an end: Antonin Kinsky will not be moving to West Ham and will not be leaving Tottenham during this window.

‘It would have made little sense for Spurs. Kinsky is an established backup. Had they allowed him to leave, that would have created the need to sign a replacement.

‘In addition, with Spurs able to make three changes to their Champions League squad ahead of the knockout stages, it would have made little sense for one of them to be (unnecessarily) used on a second-choice goalkeeper.’

Latest Tottenham news – Jhon Duran…

In other news, Jhon Duran’s representatives are scrambling to secure him a move to England on Monday after a proposed switch to Lille collapsed at the final stage, leaving the striker’s future wide open heading into deadline day, TEAMtalk understands.

Jhon Duran’s representatives are scrambling to secure him a move to England on Monday after a proposed switch to Lille collapsed at the final stage, leaving the striker’s future wide open heading into deadline day, TEAMtalk understands.

Duran make a huge impact during his short time in the Premier League, scoring 20 times, largely off the bench and showing himself to be a real impact player for Aston Villa. But when they were offered a huge £71m package to sell the Colombian to Al-Nassr, club bosses decided it was an offer too good to refuse.

Since then, however, little has gone right for Duran and we revealed over the weekend that Duran had been offered to a number of clubs across Europe as they look to kickstart the 22-year-old’s career.

Now, fresh information indicates intermediaries are once again working around the clock to find a suitable landing spot for Duran, who is available to move on loan and with his current side Fenerbahce, where he is currently spending the season, making it clear he can leave before the window shuts.

Duran remains contracted to Al‑Nassr, but a return to Saudi Arabia has been ruled out entirely, meaning his camp are pushing hard to engineer a move elsewhere.

Sources can reveal that Duran has made it clear he wants to return to England and he has told his representatives that is his preferred destination as we enter the final hours of the transfer deadline.

Off the back of that, we can confirm that Tottenham, Nottingham Forest and Leeds United — all contacted last week — have been re‑approached and reminded of the opportunity to take him as the clock ticks down.

There is no questioning Duran’s talent, but clubs have so far shown reluctance to commit, with concerns around fitness and the timing of the deal raising red flags.

However, with the deadline looming and squads reassessing their options, those stances could shift quickly on Monday as the market tightens.

Should an English move fail to materialise, sources indicate Russian giants Zenit St Petersburg are prepared to step in and take Duran before the window closes.

His camp, though, remains hopeful of securing the Premier League switch he wants, but all avenues remain open as a frantic final day approaches.

Leeds await Strand Larsen developments; Tottenham may need a new striker

For Leeds, much will depend on the final outcome of their much-publicised pursuit of Wolves striker Jorgen Strand Larsen.

The Whites have seen an offer still sat on the table worth £39m (after add-ons), though Wolves have preferred to negotiate with Crystal Palace, who have offered a bigger package.

However, the Eagles cannot pounce until they sell Jean-Philippe Mateta. The French striker is closing on a move to AC Milan but they have concerns over a knee injury that has shown up in his medical. As a result, the Italian side could look to restructure the deal, but if Palace decide against it, that will leave Strand Larsen’s situation back up in the air.

As for Tottenham, they continue to have concerns over Dominic Solanke, who rolled his ankle in Sunday’s 2-2 draw with Manchester City.

With Dane Scarlett off to Hibs, that just leaves Randal Kolo Muani as an option, but with the Frenchman yet to open his Premier League account, Thomas Frank’s side could look to beef up their options before the window shuts.

Real Madrid are planning a bid for Tottenham Hotspur defender Cristian Romero, according to a speculative report in the Spanish media, as TEAMtalk analyses why such a move is not going to happen before the winter transfer window closes on Monday.

Romero is one of the best centre-backs in the Premier League and signed a new contract with Tottenham in August 2025. Sources have told us that Romero is now Tottenham’s highest-paid player, earning £200,000-a-week, including bonuses.

The Argentina international is under contract at Tottenham until the summer of 2029, but that has not stopped Madrid from being linked with Romero.

The Spanish press reported in early January that then Real Madrid manager Xabi Alonso wanted to sign Romero from Tottenham.

Then came a report claiming that Madrid were willing to make a bid offer for Romero and were confident of getting a deal done.

Defensa Central has continued with that theme, with the Real Madrid-centric news outlet reporting that Los Blancos are ‘considering’ a bid for Romero.

Romero is said to be valued at €70million (£60.6m, $83m) by Tottenham, and Madrid president Floentino Perez believes that he would be good value for money.

Dean Huijsen’s performances for Madrid this season, following his move from Bournemouth in the summer of 2025, have been largely underwhelming.

Huijsen is still only 20, so Madrid want to sign a more experienced and mature centre-back, with both Antonio Rudiger and David Alaba out of contract at Estadio Bernabeu at the end of the season.

In years gone back, Madrid have considered Romero ‘a virtually impossible signing’, according to the report, which has added: ‘However, something has changed after Daniel Levy’s departure from Tottenham and, above all, with Real Madrid’s need to sign a top-level centre-back after the disappointment of Dean Huijsen’s signing, and taking into account the injuries that have constantly plagued the Madrid defence.’

Romero helped Tottenham clinch the Europa League last season, and has also won the World Cup (2022) and the Copa America (2021 and 2024) with Argentina.

Cristian Romero from Tottenham to Real Madrid UNLIKELY

While Defensa Central is a very popular Spanish-language Real Madrid-centric news outlet and has a very strong following on social media, its reporting on transfer news is often speculative.

No reliable sources are reporting that Madrid plan to sign Romero, so we need to treat this for what it is – a mere rumour.

Sources have told TEAMtalk that Real Madrid actually want to sign Micky van de Ven from Tottenham.

Van de Ven is only 24 years of age, and the Netherlands international is the kind of profile that Madrid want.

Our transfer correspondent, Dean Jones, said on December 10: “Van de Ven has been mentioned in the same way that Madrid have looked at Ibrahima Konate, Dayot Upamecano and Marc Guehi, but it is different because those three players are becoming free agents, and that is a market Madrid are very keen to exploit when they can.

“Van de Ven would be a much different situation as he has more than three years remaining on his current deal and the club are hoping to tie him up to a new one, on better terms over an extended period.

“Obviously, Madrid have the power to turn any player’s head, but they would have to pay big money for him as Spurs really do not want to lose him.

“They consider his experience and leadership to be absolutely vital, on top of the fact he’s a great defender and can also be a threat in terms of scoring goals.”

Tottenham are not going to sell Romero before Monday’s deadline, and Madrid are unlikely to invest €70million (£60.6m, $83m) in a 27-year-old centre-back in the middle of the season.

Latest Real Madrid transfer news: Brahim Diaz fee, Bruno Fernandes stance

Meanwhile, Tottenham Hotspur have been made aware of the transfer fee needed to sign Brahim Diaz from Real Madrid before the winter transfer window closes on Monday.

Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano has revealed if Bruno Fernandes wants to leave Manchester United for Real Madrid before Monday’s deadline.

Tottenham Hotspur have been made aware of the transfer fee that they need to pay to Real Madrid to bring one of their long-serving wingers to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium before the winter window closes on Monday, according to a report.

On January 30, TEAMtalk’s transfer insider, Graeme Bailey, reported that Tottenham are keen on a deal for Diaz in the middle of the season. Sources have told us that Spurs, who won the Europa League last season, have had ‘conversations’ and have held ‘discussions’ with the Morocco international winger’s camp.

Sources in Spain told us at the time that “nothing is impossible” regarding Real Madrid sanctioning an exit before Monday’s transfer deadline.

We understand that Aston Villa, Newcastle United and Como have already contacted the camp of Diaz and have told them that they are keen on securing his services this month.

Diaz has been on the books of Madrid since January 2019 and is under contract at the Spanish and European giants until the summer of 2027.

It has now been reported that Madrid have set a price for Diaz.

According to CaughtOffSide, if Tottenham, or any other side for that matter, are to sign the 26-year-old former Manchester City player before Monday’s deadline, then they will have to pay €60million (£51m, $71.1m).

Real Madrid must KEEP Brahim Diaz

Diaz has never been a regular in the Madrid starting line-up, and that is not going to change anytime soon.

The likes of Vinicius Junior, Rodrygo and Franco Mastantuono are ahead of Diaz in the pecking order.

However, Madrid need to keep Diaz for the rest of the season and must not sell him now.

Los Blancos could win LaLiga and/or the Champions League this season, and manager Alvaro Arbeloa needs a strong squad.

Diaz may have made only three starts in LaLiga and just one start in the Champions League for Madrid so far this season, but he has always been a valuable option to have in their squad, as a substitute.

Latest Tottenham and Real Madrid transfer news

Meanwhile, Tottenham are aiming to beat Manchester United to the signing of an Argentine sensation.

Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano has revealed when Curtis Jones could leave Liverpool, amid interest from Tottenham Hotspur.

Fabrizio Romano has also revealed if Bruno Fernandes wants to leave Man Utd for Real Madrid now.

Tottenham have clinched the signing of a highly-rated attacker from London rivals West Ham, while Juventus are not done with trying to bring Randal Kolo Muani back to Turin ahead of the close of the winter transfer window.

Teenage winger Elisha Sowunmi has signed for the club on a permanent transfer for an undisclosed fee from the Hammers after spending a decade at the London Stadium.

The 18-year-old progressed through all the age groups at West Ham before winning the U18 Premier League Cup last season, assisting both goals in the final against Reading.

Capable of playing out wide or as a number 10, Sowunmi was top scorer for West Ham’s Under-18s last season, with his tally including hat-tricks against Reading and Aston Villa.

Sowunmi would have been a free agent at the end of the season and by moving this month, the Hammers have negotiated a sell-on clause with Tottenham as part of the deal.

Juventus not giving up on Kolo Muani signing

Meanwhile, reports in Italy claim that Juventus will make a final attempt to sign Randal Kolo Muani before Monday’s transfer deadline, but the Bianconeri are running out of time to convince Spurs in allowing the loanee to move on.

The France international made a big impact playing for Juve in the second half of last season, as he notched 10 goals in 20 appearances across all competitions.

Things have not gone anywhere near that well in north London, with Kolo Muani only scoring three times, with all of those goals coming in the Champions League.

Indeed, there were reports earlier this week that Tottenham were ready to let the 27-year-old head back to parent club PSG ahead of a return to Turin, but Italian outlets Tuttosport and Gazzetta both insisted that Thomas Frank was not in favour of Kolo Muani leaving.

The Dane remains a fan of what the attacker can do for Tottenham, despite his poor return so far, with Frank particularly impressed with how Kolo Muani performed in the win at his former club Eintracht Frankfurt in midweek.

He told reporters ahead of Sunday’s clash with Manchester City: “I really hope this goal and the performance can give him some confidence to build from. His qualities and abilities, I always liked them.

“I think he gives us a different dimension. The first action inside the second minute against Frankfurt, where he is bursting through on the left-hand side… that one-v-one ability and pace is frightening.

“His goal is well taken, being in the right position inside the six-yard box on a ball headed back in the mix. Also his ability to go in behind. Hopefully, we’re getting closer and closer.

“Sometimes you need the rhythm. He came with basically no pre-season, got injured, broke his jawbone and then he got a little bit up to pace, we are not being free-floating, all that.

“Hopefully now we are on the right end of things and he can be better.”

A major part of the reasoning behind not letting Kolo Muani leave at this stage of the window is how difficult it would be to find a replacement.

Spurs are already missing Richarlison for a number of weeks still, while young forward Dane Scarlett, who has been on the bench a lot of late, has joined Hibernian on loan and Dominic Solanke has only just returned from a lengthy spell on the sidelines with an ankle injury.

To that end, whether Juventus come calling again or not, Tottenham would be mad to let Kolo Muani leave now – unless, of course, they have a trick up their sleeve and a late striker deal is close to being signed off.

Spurs do, after all, love a bit of deadline drama.

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly looking to shove Premier League rivals Manchester United to one side, as they make a move for a top Argentine talent who is on the radar of a number of clubs.

As the clock ticks down to the January window slamming shut on Monday and Spurs still hunting fresh additions to a team struggling domestically but flying in Europe, there remains one eye on summer business.

Regardless of who the manager is at the end of the season, whether that’s Thomas Frank or not, Tottenham have already shown in the winter window that they are looking to the future with the addition of Brazilian left-back Souza

And now a fresh report states they are looking to double down on South American talent by moving for highly-rated River Plate star Lautaro Rivero, who has been linked with a move away from the club in recent months.

The 22-year-old central defender has been a top performer in South American football, earning a call-up to the senior Argentina squad, who have Spurs skipper Cristian Romero acting as one of Lionel Messi’s deputies in the national team.

The young defender is reported to have a €100million (£87m / $119m) release clause in his contract and also has interest from Manchester City, alongside United and Spurs.

However, Argentine outlet El Crack Deportivo reports that it’s Man Utd who have currently taken the lead in the race to sign the 22-year-old, who is widely considered to have the tools to compete at Premier League level.

Tottenham’s interest in adding more central defensive depth is not that surprising, given the continued speculation over Liverpool’s interest in Micky van de Ven, alongside reports that Romero is once again a top target for Real Madrid.

Radu Dragusin is another defender being tipped for a north London exit, in what could end up being a bit of an exodus from the defensive ranks come the summer.

There will be the added bonus of the incredibly highly-rated Luka Vuskovic returning from his loan spell at Hamburg, if Spurs can keep the soon-to-be 19-year-old from out of the clutches of Bayern Munich.

However, adding another quality young centre-back to the mix can certainly do no harm, as long as there is still some experience around to nurture and help develop that talent.

More Tottenham news: Romano delivers Curtis Jones update; Spurs offered £71m striker

Fabrizio Romano has revealed when Curtis Jones could leave Liverpool, following claims that Tottenham are ready to make a bid for the Anfield star to bring him to north London in the January transfer window.

Elsewhere, Tottenham and Leeds United are among those who have been offered a £71m striker who set the Premier League ablaze during his previous stint in England, we can exclusively reveal.

Fabrizio Romano has revealed when Curtis Jones could leave Liverpool, following claims that Tottenham Hotspur are ready to make a bid for the Anfield star to bring him to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the January transfer window.

TEAMtalk’s transfer insider, Graeme Bailey, has reported that Liverpool have decided not to let Jones leave for Inter Milan now. Sources have told us that although Inter held talks with the midfielder’s camp, the defending Premier League champions have made it clear that Jones will stay part of Liverpool manager Arne Slot’s side for the rest of the season.

Inter’s interest in the 25-year-old midfielder came just days after it emerged that Tottenham want to sign Jones from Liverpool in the January transfer window.

DAVEOKOP, a Liverpool-centric news outlet, reported that Thomas Frank’s Tottenham are ‘willing to initially offer £30m as an opening offer’ for Jones.

That offer of £30million (€34.6m, $41.1m) has not come yet, and it is unlikely that Liverpool will sell Jones now.

However, transfer guru Fabrizio Romano has revealed that Liverpool could sell the midfielder if he does not sign a new contract, having earlier reported that “Tottenham were very aggressive on Curtis Jones at the beginning of the transfer window before signing Conor Gallagher”.

Jones is out of contract at Liverpool in the summer of 2027.

Romano said on his YouTube channel: “Curtis Jones was keen on a move to Inter, but the problem is that Curtis Jones, as I told you last night, has a contract till 2027 at Liverpool, and Liverpool will not let the player leave on loan, unless he signs a new contract.

“At the moment, we are not at that stage. So, Liverpool are not approving the exit of Curtis Jones unless he accepts to sign a new contract in the next hours, but it’s something at the moment is not happening.

“So, Liverpool are not opening the door to this possibility.

“Then, if you ask me about Curtis Jones, my feeling is that if it’s not in this window, in the summer, something could happen around him because the contract situation must be sorted, otherwise he could really leave Liverpool in 2026.”

Tottenham are in the market for ANOTHER midfielder

Tottenham signed former Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher from Atletico Madrid in the middle of January for £34million (€39.2m, $46.5m).

However, last season’s Europa League winners are still in the market for another midfielder.

The DAVEOKOP report about Tottenham’s willingness to bid for Jones came on January 23, 2026.

On January 28, it emerged that Tottenham had ‘enquired’ about Leon Goretzka, who is out of contract at Bayern Munich at the end of the season.

Bayern have decided that they will not sell midfielder Goretzka in the middle of the campaign.

Tottenham are clearly in the market for another midfielder, and if they are unable to get one now, it is very likely that they will revisit the situation in the summer of 2026.

That is when a potential transfer of Jones to Tottenham will become a real possibility.

Of course, there are some key factors that need to be taken into consideration.

Thomas Frank’s future at Tottenham is far from certain, with Arne Slot also not certain if he will stay as Liverpool manager beyond the end of the season.

Jones could end up signing a new contract with Liverpool between now and the end of the 2025/26 campaign.

Latest Tottenham transfer news: Striker ‘offered’, West Ham United raid

Meanwhile, sources have told our transfer insider, Graeme Bailey, that Tottenham Hotspur have been ‘offered’ the chance to sign a striker, so have Leeds United.

Two Tottenham deals are not going to happen, but a report has claimed that four other deals are still possible before the winter transfer window closes next week.

Tottenham and Leeds United are among those who have been offered a £71m striker who set the Premier League ablaze during his previous stint in England, we can exclusively reveal.

A number of Premier League clubs have been offered the opportunity to sign former Aston Villa striker Jhon Duran, with intermediaries exploring a possible return to England as the Colombian’s loan spell at Fenerbahce continues to stall.

Duran, 22, made a huge impression at Aston Villa prior to his blockbuster £64.5m (rising to £71m through add-ons) transfer to Al-Nassr one year ago.

Duran’s final six months at Villa Park saw the frontman score a series of goal of the season contenders. He bagged 12 goals in just 1,046 minutes of action across the Premier League, League Cup and Champions League, meaning he scored at a ratio of one goal every 87 minutes. Effectively, he became a goal-per-game striker before joining Al-Nassr.

However, the Colombian did not settle in Saudi Arabia and was loaned to Fenerbahce ahead of the current campaign. Surprisingly, he’s not featuring all that regularly in Turkey amid stiff competition from Anderson Talisca and Youssef En-Nesyri.

French side Lille are in talks with Fenerbahce about taking over the loan for the remainder of the campaign and sources state they’re firmly in pole position to land him.

However, TEAMtalk can reveal that intermediaries have also approached a host of Premier League clubs, believing there may be a realistic opening to bring Duran back to England where he previously thrived before the window shuts on Monday evening.

We understand Tottenham and Leeds are among those who’ve been contacted.

Leeds look set to fall short in their bid to sign Jorgen Strand Larsen from Wolves. But in truth, Duran would represent a vastly superior option to the Norwegian who has scored just one Premier League goal – a penalty – all season.

Tottenham, meanwhile, are braced for a late push from Juventus to take over Randal Kolo Muani’s loan spell. The Frenchman has underwhelmed in north London and again, Duran would serve as a higher calibre replacement.

Newcastle, Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest have also been offered the chance to sign Duran. West Ham also assessed Duran earlier in the window before shifting their focus elsewhere.

Italian giants Juventus have been linked, but Lille are aware that other clubs have been contacted and are now pushing hard to get a deal over the line.

With Duran keen for stability after a turbulent year, his situation is expected to move quickly as the deadline approaches.

Latest Tottenham and Leeds news

In other news, two rumoured Tottenham transfers – one an arrival and the other an exit – will NOT happen, though four other deals remain in play in the final days of the window.

Elsewhere, West Ham are ramping up efforts to sign an England international defender and Antonin Kinsky from Tottenham after a move for a different goalkeeper came to nothing.

Two rumoured Tottenham transfers – one an arrival and the other an exit – will NOT happen, though four other deals remain in play in the final days of the window.

Spurs are gearing up for a frantic end to the winter window in which both arrivals and exits are possible. However, two such moves that have been explored in recent weeks can now be discounted.

The first involves Mathys Tel who was the subject of numerous loan approaches.

French side Paris FC pushed the hardest, though Tottenham have now made it crystal clear no bids in any guise will be entertained for Tel.

That message has been received loud and clear at Paris FC who per Fabrizio Romano, have quickly struck a deal to sign Ciro Immobile from Bologna instead.

Elsewhere, BILD chief, Christian Falk, recently stated Tottenham had made contact with Bayern Munich regarding Serge Gnabry.

That potential move can also be resigned to the scrapheap, according to Sky Germany’s Florian Plettenberg.

He wrote on X: “Understand Tottenham were never a topic in recent days for Serge Gnabry.

“The clear plan for Gnabry is to sign a new contract until 2028 with FC Bayern in the next days.”

So… which deals ARE possible?

TEAMtalk understands West Ham are pushing to sign back-up goalkeeper, Antonin Kinsky, from Spurs.

A loan deal is in play, though Tottenham will only give the green light if lining up an adequate replacement.

Andy Robertson’s transfer from Liverpool worth £5m plus add-ons has been agreed in principle.

The Scot is open to the move, though there are growing doubts as to whether Liverpool – who are struggling with injuries specifically in defence – will let Robertson go.

The only way they will is if agreeing a deal with Roma to cut Kostas Tsimikas’ loan spell short. The fact there is no recall clause in the Greek’s deal complicates matters, and Roma would want a replacement for Tsimikas too.

Elsewhere, Fabrizio Romano has confirmed Juventus are still pushing to snap up Randal Kolo Muani by breaking Tottenham’s loan with PSG.

He wrote on X: “Juventus have not sent any bid or proposal for Jhon Duran so far despite recent reports.

“Juve plan to wait for Randal Kolo Muani until the end, still trying to get him back with decision in Tottenham hands.”

Raheem Sterling – now available via free agency – has been linked, and the winger is willing to take the mother of all pay cuts to ensure his next move is the right move.
