Newcastle have made an enquiry to Manchester City over the availability of Eliaquim Mangala.

The Frenchman has fallen down the pecking order at the Etihad following the club-record arrival of Aymeric Laporte. However, it’s unlikely Newcastle will progress with a bid unless City reduce their asking price.

It's emerged @NUFC have made an enquiry to @ManCity over the availability of Eliaquim Mangala.

Michy Batshuayi has a personal agreement with Dortmund and everything’s settled between the clubs too. If Giroud is done (and that seems so), he’s gone. 🦇 #freemichy #cfc pic.twitter.com/S1yFettL5P

Sevilla will turn their attentions to Everton striker Sandro Ramirez after failing to land Michy Batshuayi from Chelsea.

The Belgian had been a top January target for the Liga side, although reports suggest he could now be heading to Dortmund as the German club looks to replace Arsenal-bound Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

And that has prompted Sevilla to look elsewhere, with out-of-favour Everton forward Sandro now a possibility before the transfer window closes.

Bordeaux are weighing up a move for former Arsenal striker Niklas Bendtner.

After failing to land Diafra Sakho, Aleksandar Mitrovic and Martin Braithwaite, the Ligue 1 side are now considering bringing in the 30-year-old Denmark international, who has been in impressive goalscoring form for Rosenborg.

Monaco vice-president Vadim Vasilyev on how much Real Madrid bid for Kylian Mbappe: "They offered the same amount as PSG [£166m]. I wouldn't have done it, but I respected Kylian and his family's wishes."

Wolfsburg are trying to persuade Liverpool midfielder Lazar Markovic to kick-start his career with them.

Liverpool are happy for him to join the Bundesliga club on a permanent deal before the transfer window closes. There had been interest from Swansea but it now appears that Wolfsburg is the main option left open to him to secure a move away from Anfield, with the Swans not confident of signing the Serbia international.

On-loan forward Jese still has an important role to play for Stoke this season, according to manager Paul Lambert.

"It's good to have him in and around the training ground once again and I've seen little glimpses from him since he's come back," said Lambert.

"Going forward, he looks impressive but that has never been in question because we know the type of player he is."

"He still needs to get up to speed with his fitness but in the short time that I've been here, he's been very good offensively.

On-loan Atalanta midfielder Bryan Cristante has refused to rule out a summer move to the Premier League amid talk of interest from Manchester United.

The 23-year-old has emerged as one of the most promising talents in Italian football, with a senior international debut made in October 2017, and has previously expressed a desire to test himself in England.

West Brom are aiming to follow up the signing of Daniel Sturridge with a deal for Borussia Dortmund forward Andre Schurrle.

Sturridge joined West Brom on loan from Liverpool on Monday and the club are now in talks with Dortmund over a temporary move for Schurrle.

The former Chelsea attacker has also been linked with the likes of Newcastle and West Ham, with Dortmund prepared to let him leave before the January transfer window closes.

Alan Pardew has revealed one player could leave West Brom before the transfer window closes, but says it is not Jonny Evans or James McClean.

"I have nothing to complain about, as I stand now I have a good squad and I don't really want to lose anyone, said Pardew, ahead of West Brom's away fixture at Manchester City on Wednesday.

"We do have one player who we think might go out but it's not Jonny Evans or James McClean."

West Ham, Newcastle, Valencia all interested in Manchester City defender Eliaquim Mangala. Loan or permanent being discussed.
