Astute observation from 90min's Chris Deeley, who is rather jealous that Andrea Ranocchia has taken the @23_Frog Twitter handle ahead of him.

11:49: 'HEY CSL, COME PAY ME LOTS OF MONEY PLEASE': Dante, January 2017.

Remember Dante? He's been fluttering his eyelids a little so he's able to pull off a move to China before their transfer window closes next month.


According to GFFN, he said:"I find it interesting that a country invests. I think that sometimes we only look at the footballing side, but China is a country that has billions of people. If I'm not mistaken, it's because there is a new minister that loves football and he wants young people to see players as role models.


"I think that it's an interesting idea so why not?"


I'm just bloody shocked he's playing for Nice.

West Ham will not be signing Scott Hogan this month, but it may well be the case that Aston Villa get their man from Brentford. Sky's Kaveh Solhekol reports that the club are offering "Premier League wages" to combine with a £15m offer. Yowza.

That's because he's been pictured undergoing a medical withÄ°stanbul BaÅŸakÅŸehir, and he's been presented as their new number 26 -signing an 18 month contract. Who's that club, you ask? They're second in the Turkish league and Emre Belozoglu is their captain.


Good on you, Ade.

09:50: No Blues Bid for Kolasinac


Schalke official Christian Heidel has confirmed that Chelsea have not come in with an offer to sign highly rated full back Sead Kolasinac ahead of the deadline.


Heidel claimed"there has been no offer!" - but the Metro seem to have translated his comments into something along the lines of "we had an offer from them but we turned it down", and I can't speak German nor do not have any German-speaking people around me until next week. So make up your own minds....

Remember all of that kerfuffle about Jerome Sinclair leaving Liverpool for Watford? Well, he's leaving Watford now, for a loan deal at Bristol City.
