Burnley have signed Wout Weghorst from Wolfsburg for a reported fee of £12 million.

A giant is about to arrive at Turf Moor...

Matt Targett has arrived at Newcastle’s training ground for a medical ahead of his loan move from Aston Villa.

The 26-year-old is set to join the club until the end of the season and would become Newcastle’s fourth January signing after Kieran Trippier, Chris Wood and Bruno Guimaraes.

Burnley will today hope to complete the signing of Netherlands striker Wout Weghorst from Wolfsburg.

After losing Chris Wood to relegation rivals Newcastle, Burnley have moved to finalise a £12 million deal for the 29-year-old.

Weghorst, who is 6’6”, has scored 17, 16 and 20 goals in his last three Bundesliga seasons and played for Netherlands at Euro 2020 this summer.

Atletico Madrid and Belgium wing-back Yannick Carrasco has emerged as a transfer target for Newcastle and Tottenham, according to reports.

Foot Mercado report that Carrasco has recently changed agents and is open to leaving the LaLiga champions on deadline day.

Carrasco, a versatile wide player who can also play in attack, has a £60m released clause so it would be a sensational move if either Newcastle or Tottenham pull it off.

Newcastle are favourites to sign Aston Villa left back Matt Targett on loan with the two clubs reportedly reaching an agreement over a deal until the end of the season.

Villa signed Lucas Digne from Everton earlier in the window with the Frenchman taking Targett’s place in the team and Newcastle are keen to improve their defensive options.

Newcastle are also close to completing deals for defender Dan Burn and striker Hugo Ekitke, while Jesse Lingard remains keen on a loan move from Manchester United.

Tottenham are leading the race to sign Juventus midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur and are hopeful of completing a deal for the 24-year-old today.

Spurs are looking to sign two players from Juventus on deadline day, with forward Dejan Kulusevski in London for a medical as he looks set to join on loan with an option to buy.

Uruguay international Bentancur was linked with a move to Aston Villa earlier in the window but The Telegraph report he prefers a move to Tottenham and permanent deal appears close.

Director of football Fabio Paratici, who previously worked at Juventus, has moved to sign the player after he fell out of favour under Max Allegri.

Bryan Gil is set to join Tanguy Ndombele in leaving Tottenham on loan on deadline day, with Valencia reportedly agreeing terms for the 20-year-old Spain forward.

Gil joined Tottenham from Sevilla last summer after an impressive loan spell at Eibar but is yet to start a Premier League match for the club, with all of his nine appearances for the club coming off the bench.

Fabrizio Romano reports that unlike Ndombele, there is no option to buy clause included on Gil’s loan agreement.

West Ham have not given up on signing Uruguay international Darwin Nunez after reportedly agreeing a fee with Benfica for the striker.

The Hammers, who have also been linked with Newcastle target Hugo Ekitike, are keen to bolster their attacking options but logistical issues could get in the way of a deal.

Nunez, 22, is in South America with Uruguay for their World Cup qualifiers and Sky Sports News report that West Ham have not left themselves enough time to complete the transfer.

The striker has scored 20 goals in all competitions for Benfica this season.

Jesse Lingard has not given up on wanting to leave Manchester United on loan in search of regular game time - with Newcastle still keen for a deal.

According to the Athletic, Lingard has discussed the move with United’s interim manager Ralf Rangnick and has pleaded for the club to lower their valuation.

The Independent’s Miguel Delaney has reported that United included a significant relegation survival clause in their loan terms, which could see Newcastle have to pay up to £16m if they were to sign Lingard until the end of the season.

Lingard has played just 24 minutes of Premier League football since Rangnick was appointed and the 29-year-old is desperate for more minutes in order to push for a place in Gareth Southgate’s World Cup squad.
