There's been no further contact from Arsenal or Manchester City about Jonny Evans. The longer the saga drags on, the more reluctant West Brom would be to sell the defender as they would want time to spend the money.
...
...
Real Madrid have officially informed Athletic of their interest in signing goalkeeper Kepa. 

The Liga champions have been inactive so far in the transfer window, but have been plagued by poor form throughout the current season. And with Keylor Navas coming in for criticism from some sectors, a move for Kepa could yet take place in the current window.
...
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has turned his attentions to young Real Madrid star Marco Asensio. 

The Citizens have given up their chase of Alexis Sanchez, having started January as favourites to sign the Arsenal man. And Asensio, who has struggled for playing time in recent weeks at Madrid, would be a more than acceptable alternative, as Pep is a big admirer of the forward.

The Germany international midfielder is out of contract this summer and has consistently been linked with a move to Juventus.

...
RB Leipzig have made contact with Ajax regarding a possible deal to sign teenage winger Justin Kluivert.

Arsenal teenager Reiss Nelson is being chased by Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid.

The 18-year-old is out of contract next year and there has yet to be agreement over a long-term deal for the winger to stay at the Emirates Stadium. The situation has led to PSG and Madrid taking an interest, while rival Premier League clubs are also keeping a watching brief.

Manchester United are yet to trigger the one-year option on Juan Mata’s contract, but the playmaker wants to stay at Old Trafford.

Mata’s current deal expires at the end of the season, and he has been linked with summer moves to Inter Milan and former club Valencia. United have a 12-month option on Mata’s contract and the club are still expected to exercise the deal to keep the Spaniard for at least another season.

Wilshere is out of contract at the end of the season and is not expecting to sign a new deal during the January transfer window.
