TRANSKRIPTIO 🔗
Hello and welcome to the Transfer News Podcast, I'm Archer, and it's Wednesday the fourteenth of January, two thousand and twenty-six. We've got a packed show today with plenty of movement across the Premier League, so let's dive straight in.
Starting with a surprise story from yesterday, Everton are reportedly eyeing Arsenal's Ben White. David Moyes is clearly looking to strengthen his defensive options, and while White has been a key player for Mikel Arteta, this one feels like a long shot unless there's some underlying issue we don't know about yet.
Moving to Barcelona, and they're apparently keen for Marcus Rashford to stay at the club. The Manchester United forward has been on loan at the Catalan giants, and it seems his performances have impressed enough for them to want to extend the arrangement, which puts Ruben Amorim in an interesting position regarding his squad planning.
Arsenal are monitoring Newcastle's Valentino Livramento according to reports from a few days ago. The young full-back has caught the eye this season, and with Arteta always looking to add quality depth, this could be one to watch as we move deeper into the window.
Staying with the Gunners, they've also joined the race to sign Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi. This would be a significant addition to their backline, and with Oliver Glasner's Palace potentially open to selling at the right price, Arsenal could be serious contenders here alongside other interested parties.
Bournemouth are keen on Arsenal's young talent Ethan Nwaneri. Andoni Iraola has done excellent work developing young players, so a loan move could be beneficial for all parties, giving Nwaneri the game time he needs to develop further.
Newcastle face a battle for Wolves striker Jorgen Strand Larsen. Eddie Howe is looking to add firepower, but with multiple clubs interested, this could become a competitive race, especially given Strand Larsen's impressive performances under Vitor Pereira.
There's been talk that Rashford may have a route back to Manchester United. Despite the loan to Barcelona, it seems the door isn't completely closed at Old Trafford, which adds another layer of complexity to his future and United's forward planning.
Real Madrid have joined the race for Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Wharton. The young English talent has been exceptional this season, and when Real Madrid enter the conversation, it usually means a player is destined for the very top.
Chelsea are keeping tabs on Newcastle's Sandro Tonali. Enzo Maresca continues to reshape his squad, and the Italian midfielder would certainly add quality and experience to their engine room if they can tempt him away from Saint James' Park.
Reports suggest Rodrygo wants to leave Real Madrid. The Brazilian winger has been linked with Premier League clubs, and if he's genuinely available, this could be one of the most significant moves of the window.
Liverpool are set to sign young Colombian defender Juan David Ordonez. Arne Slot is clearly planning for the future, and adding promising South American talent fits the club's recent recruitment strategy perfectly.
Nathan Ake has rejected a move to West Ham according to reports from New Year's Day. The Manchester City defender clearly feels he has a role to play under Pep Guardiola, which will disappoint Nuno Espirito Santo who's looking to strengthen.
Borussia Dortmund are leading the race for Manchester City's Oscar Bobb. The young Norwegian has struggled for game time, and a move to Germany could provide the platform he needs to showcase his undoubted talent.
Bournemouth are eyeing Brennan Johnson from Tottenham. This would be quite the statement signing for the Cherries if they can pull it off, though prising him away from Thomas Frank's squad won't be easy or cheap.
Fulham want forty million pounds rated striker Ricardo Pepi. Marco Silva is looking to add goals to his attack, and the American forward has been impressive enough to warrant serious interest from Premier League clubs.
Chelsea and Leeds are both monitoring Manchester City's James McAtee. The young midfielder needs regular football, and both Maresca and Daniel Farke could offer him that opportunity, making this an intriguing situation to follow.
Manchester United are considering a move for Everton's James Garner. It would be a return to Old Trafford for the midfielder, and given his development since leaving, Amorim might see him as a useful addition to the squad.
Saudi Pro League clubs are targeting Newcastle's Joelinton. The Brazilian has been superb for the Magpies, but the financial power of Saudi football could test Newcastle's resolve if a massive offer arrives.
Barcelona have reportedly cooled their interest in Marc Guehi. This might open the door wider for Arsenal and other Premier League clubs who remain keen on the Crystal Palace defender.
Finally, La Liga duo are battling for Bournemouth's Marcos Senesi. The Argentine defender has been solid for the Cherries, and Spanish clubs clearly see quality there worth pursuing.
