Live Coverage: Transfer Talk - January 19

Good morning everyone! There's only 14 days left to go before the transfer window closes, so what will today bring? Manchester City are the only club out of the Premier League heavyweights to secure a big-money signing following the capture of Wilfried Bony, but that doesn't mean that their rivals are not working hard to match them. We'll keep you updated as developments occur.

Plenty of transfer gossip filtered through overnight, so if you missed it, catch up in our Transfer Talk Update, which contains rumours about Mattia Destro, Kevin Mirallas and Samuel Eto'o.

Let's turn our attention to Liverpool and their attempts to cut short Divock Origi's loan at Lille. If you remember, the Reds signed the striker from the Ligue 1 outfit last summer for a £10m fee, but was immediately loaned back to France. Liverpool initially tried to bring the Belgium international to Anfield this month, but according to reports, manager Brendan Rodgers has decided to keep faith with his current strikeforce, so Origi will stay put at Lille until the end of the season.

It's time for me to hand you over to my colleague Joe Fish, who will provide you with all the latest transfer updates as they happen over the next few hours. Enjoy!

Thanks Danielle. What a result that was for Arsenal yesterday, eh? Francis Coquelin played a major role in their 2-0 win at Manchester City and reports are claiming that the Gunners are ready to offer the French midfielder a new contract after his emergence into a first-team regular. The 23-year-old's current deal expires in the summer, but he has played Arsenal's last seven games.

Swansea have money to spend this month after selling Wilfried Bony to Manchester City. A left-back is believed to be high on Garry Monk's list of priorities and the Swans are believed to have lodged a £4m bid for Norwich's Martin Olsson, which the Canaries are considering accepting.

West Brom are another team expected to be active in January and it seems that they are now making some moves. Reports are claiming that the Baggies have had a £4m bid rejected for Wigan winger Callum McManaman. The Latics could sell, but are holding out for a fee of £6m.

One more line to bring you before I pass you over to Jack Prescott and it is concerning news for Ipswich Town fans. The Premier League big boys are circling above Teddy Bishop, with Liverpool the favourites to sign the £10m-rated teenager. They may have to wait until the summer to get him, though, with Mick McCarthy intent on keeping the midfielder for Ipswich's promotion push.

Hello there! Let's crack on with some news from West Ham United, with owners David Gold and David Sullivan saying that they intend to sign world-class players for the club in the coming years. The Hammers currently sit seventh in the Premier League table following their 3-0 win over Hull City, and the owners hope to push the club on as they look forward to moving to the Olympic Stadium in 2016.

Malaga sporting director Mario Husillos has insisted that Ignacio Camacho will not be leaving the Spanish club this month. The 24-year-old, who joined Malaga from Atletico Madrid in 2011, has been one of La Liga's standout performers this season.

West Ham United boss Sam Allardyce has claimed that the club is 'perfect' for defender Winston Reid. The 26-year-old, who is out of contract at the end of the season, is currently in negotiations over a new deal at Upton Park.

Sierra Leone international Medo has left Bolton Wanderers on loan to join Maccabi Haifa until the end of the season. The 27-year-old has made just six appearances in all competitions for the Trotters this season, with his last outing against Chelsea in the Capital One Cup in September.

Fiorentina defender Stefan Savic has signed a new deal with the Serie A club until 2019. The Montenegro international, 24, moved to the Stadio Artemio Franchi in 2012 following a brief spell with Manchester City.

Respected Spanish journalist Guillem Balague has claimed that Manchester United have failed in a £27m move for Valencia defender Nicolas Otamendi. The Argentine defender joined Valencia from Porto this summer and has been one of the standout performers in La Liga this season.
