Sports Mole rounds up some of the latest January transfer rumours, including Callan McKenna to Manchester United, Pablo Sarabia to Real Sociedad and Robin Koch to Eintracht Frankfurt.

Manchester United are reportedly on the verge of signing 17-year-old goalkeeper Callan McKenna from Queen's Park.

The Scotland Under-19 cap has already made nine first-team appearances for the Spiders so far this season, including seven outings in the Scottish Championship, before sustaining an injury.

According to the Daily Record, Man United are in advanced talks with Queen's Park over a potential six-figure deal to sign McKenna, which could rise to a seven-figure fee with add-ons.

The teenager is also said to have attracted interest from Arsenal and Chelsea, while the shot-stopper has previously trained with Leicester City.

However, Man United appear to be at the front of the queue to recruit McKenna, and a move to Old Trafford could take place either this month or next summer.

McKenna would presumably be integrated into Man United's youth team initially, with manager Erik ten Hag currently working with first-choice goalkeeper Andre Onana and backup options Altay Bayindir and Tom Heaton.

Over in Spain, Real Sociedad are reportedly closing in on the signing of Wolverhampton Wanderers winger Pablo Sarabia.

The 31-year-old moved to Molineux in January, penning a two-and-a-half-year deal, and he has since featured 16 times West Midlands outfit in all competitions so far this season, scoring once and registering eight assists.

Sarabia has recently worked his way into Gary O'Neil's first-team plans having started in each of the last six Premier League matches for Wolves, operating either as a winger or in an advanced midfield role.

However, according to Fichajes, Sarabia could be heading back to his native Spain this month as Real Sociedad are close to striking a deal with Wolves worth between €5m (£4.3m) and €6m (£5.2m).

The report adds that the La Liga side have stepped up their interest in Sarabia after allowing Mohamed-Ali Cho to join Nice for a reported €12m (£10.3m), while Takefusa Kubo is currently away with Japan at the Asian Cup.

Sarabia, a 26-cap Spain international, began his career with Real Madrid before representing Getafe and Sevilla over an eight-year period between 2011 and 2019.

Meanwhile, Bundesliga club Eintracht Frankfurt are reportedly set to sign defender Robin Koch on a permanent deal from Leeds United.

The 27-year-old spent three seasons at Elland Road before joining Frankfurt on loan last summer following Leeds' relegation from the Premier League.

Koch has since established himself as a first-team regular with the German side, scoring three goals in 23 starts across all competitions.

According to Sky Deutschland reporter Florian Plettenberg, Koch will join Frankfurt on a free transfer next summer when his contract at Leeds expires.

An announcement from Frankfurt is believed to be imminent, with the former Freiburg defender expected to put pen to paper on a three-year deal until 2027.

Koch is keen to extend his stay at Frankfurt and continue to play regularly as he bids to force his way into the Germany squad for Euro 2024.
