Transfer news LIVE: Manchester United, City, Arsenal, Liverpool and Premier League latest ahead of January window

The January transfer window is now less than two weeks away and clubs up and down the country are already busy putting plans into place to strengthen their squads in the new year.

Plenty of cash is expected to change hands as the race for the top four hots up, while sides at the bottom of the table will be desperate to stave off the threat of relegation.

There could be plenty of activity at the Emirates as the Gunners weigh up whether to cash in on Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez or risk losing them for nothing when their contracts expire this summer.

City have made a storming start to the campaign and Etihad chiefs are planning to reward boss Pep Guardiola with a bumper new deal.

For everyone else, they have one month to plug in gaps, uncover new talent – or just worry about keeping their best players at the club.

Stay tuned as we’ll bring you all the latest done deals, new contracts, rumours, gossip and everything else ahead of the window’s opening, here – in association with Ladbrokes.
