Live Coverage: Transfer Talk - January 17

Welcome to Sports Mole's live transfer blog on Saturday, January 17.

We are now just over halfway through the winter window, meaning that teams up and down the country now have just a couple of weeks to get their squads ready for the remainder of the season.

We've seen some big deals go through already, and the spending will only speed up as deadline day approaches.

Here, we will keep you updated with all the latest gossip and completed deals as and when they emerge throughout the day.

2.10amUnfortunately, our day at Transfer Talk Live has come to an end. If you still need your fix of transfer news and gossip, Sports Mole will keep you up-to-date with all the latest movers and shakers in the world of football. Not enough? Well Transfer Talk Live returns from 7am this morning! However, until then it's good night from me.

2.06amSticking with Spurs, the Lilywhites are thought to have reignited their pursuit of Yevhen Konoplyanka. The Ukraine winger had been linked with a Â£20m move to Liverpool 12 months ago before the deal collapsed on deadline day. However, the winger may be available for just Â£7m, with his contract due to run out in the summer.

1.50amTottenham Hotspur are believed to have opened talks with Harry Kane over an improved contract. Kane only signed a new deal last summer, but Spurs see the 21-year-old as an important part of their long-term planning and want to bring his wages in line with the club's top earners.

1.24amManchester United have featured heavily in tonight's Transfer Talk, but the club are reportedly looking to renegotiate the Â£43m deal they agreed with Monaco for Radamel Falcao. The Colombian has struggled to find his scoring touch with the Red Devils and has left his future with the club in doubt as a result.

1.10amPulis may miss out on another target in the mid-season window, however, with Crystal Palace reportedly ready to complete a deal for Blackburn Rovers' Rudy Gestede. The Benin international has scored 12 goals for the Lancashire club so far this season, but manager Gary Bowyer admitted that his star player was likely to leave Ewood Park.

1.00amWest Brom manager Tony Pulis has been linked with a move for West Ham winger Matt Jarvis. The 28-year-old has made only six appearances for the Hammers this season and reports claim that he will be allowed to leave for the right price.

12.43amPart of Everton's thinking in allowing Eto'o to leave may be that the striker is believed to be close to activating an automatic one-year contract extension and earns Â£80,000 a week at Goodison Park. However, Eto'o could be taking a pay cut of around Â£55,000 a week to push the deal through.

12.37amLast night, we told you that Everton striker Samuel Eto'o was close to leaving the Toffees for Serie A side Sampdoria. According to reports this evening, the Blues could save around Â£6m in wages if the Cameroon star leaves as expected.
