Transfer news LIVE: Man Utd’s Bruno Fernandes boost, Liverpool continue talks for Pedro Brazao as Tottenham turn to £40m Willian Jose

Welcome to our live coverage of today’s latest transfer news, gossip and done deals as we bring you the very latest rumours from the likes of Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal and more.

The biggest transfer story of the window has, of course, been Manchester United’s interest in Sporting Lisbon skipper Bruno Fernandes. After weeks of little movement we are expecting that story to progress significantly in the next 48 hours, as United move to bolster their injury-hit squad. One of Wednesday’s most intriguing rumours was that Daniel Levy has contacted Real Madrid about potentially bringing Gareth Bale back to the club on loan. The Welshman would be open to the move and Real are desperate for him to leave the club – but will Spurs be able to afford his staggering wages, even if partially subsidised by the Spanish giants?

Meanwhile, Liverpool have been fairly active this month and could move for a third younger player while also continuing to monitor Timo Werner, who appears increasingly open to a move to Anfield. And Chelsea are also chasing a new striker and expect the Premier League rivals to clash over the next few days as they pursue similar transfer targets. So stick with us and follow all of the latest transfer news, gossip and done deals live below.

Tottenham will be hoping for good news on Harry Winks’ ankle injury after boss Jose Mourinho said the midfielder would be out for “weeks not months”.

The Spurs midfielder hobbled off during the second half of his side’s 2-1 win over Norwich following a challenge from Todd Cantwell and he will be fully assessed once the problem has settled down.

Mourinho was initially too worried to ask his medical staff the severity of the injury immediately after the game, but offered a positive update when he left the stadium.

He said: “It is not a crazy one – hopefully weeks and not months.”

He had earlier said in his press conference: “I prefer not to know before I come in here so I come with a normal face.

“I don’t want to come in here with a very upset face, so I’m even afraid to ask, but when I leave here I have to ask.”
