Thanks Danielle! I'll begin with some news for Arsenal fans and the potential signing of a new right-back.

Championship promotion contenders Derby County are in the market for a winger following Jordon Ibe's return to Liverpool, but it appears that the Rams have failed in their bid to sign either Junior Hoilett or Matt Phillips.

Raheem Sterling has been the subject of much speculation during the transfer window, and it is thought that talks between him and Liverpool regarding a new deal have stalled recently.
