10:12 AM GMT TRANSFER UPDATE - from UK correspondent Wayne Veysey:
"Things are not just starting to pick up in England. It is the same on the Continent, too. I am told that Austrian Marc Janko is on a plane to Portugal right now to join Porto from Twentefor £4.2 million.
"The giant striker, who has attracted strong interest from Celtic among others, is believed to have said his goodbyes to staff at Twente yesterday. He goes with a prolific scoring record. Janko has scored 34 goals in 65 games in his one-and-a-half seasons at the Dutch club, who are second in the Eredivisie."

10:09 AM GMT TRANSFER UPDATE - from UK correspondent Greg Stobart:
"I’m told Nikica Jelavic is desperate to complete a move to Everton before the transfer window closes - but Rangers are yet to accept a bid for the Croatia striker.
"The Toffees yesterday made a formal bid for Jelavic, believed to be worth around £4.5m, after Diniyar Bilyaletdinov’s move to Spartak Moscow freed up funds at Goodison Park.
"Championship club West Ham are understood to be prepared to offer more than Everton for the 26-year-old but the player has his heart set on a move to Merseyside.
"Everton boss David Moyes is a long-term admirer of Jelavic and tried to sign him before he joined Rangers from Rapid Vienna in 2010. This one is expected to go right to the wire tomorrow."
This news will please @JozManPro, who has been crying out for Everton transfer news all morning on Twitter!

9:55 AM GMT Taking to Twitter once again, Faaj20 wants to know if Barcelona are likely to sign any players in this January window.
"Barcelona won't be signing anyone in the current transfer window," Spain editor Ben Hayward replies, "There were some reports they may be in for a striker following David Villa's injury, but the Spain star was hardly playing anyway and they have decided to wait until the end of the season.
"At this stage it's too early to say who they will look to sign in the summer, but a central defender, a left-back to cover Abidal and a new forward are likely to be the priorities."

9:51 AM GMT TRANSFER UPDATE - from UK correspondent Wayne Veysey:
"Sources tell me that Kevin De Bruyne is currently at Chelsea's Cobham training ground having a medical. Assuming he passes it, the attacking midfielder will become the third Belgian youngster to join Chelsea in the last six months, following Romelu Lukaku and Thiabut Courtois.
"I am told that Chelsea have agreed a fee of €8 million (£6.7 million) with Genk and the 20-year-old will then be loaned straight back to the Belgian club for the rest of the season. He will sign a five-and-a-half year contract."

9:44 AM GMT Going back to Tevez, Goal.com UK have let it be known that Manchester City are still standing firm on their stance not to loan the player out - they want rid of him and who can blame them at this point (do they even know where he is?).
There have been some rumblings in the media this morning about a possible move toLiverpool, but even if the Citizens were to change their mind regarding loaning the Argentine out, it would most certainly not be to the Reds, according the UK site's finest footballing minds.
But enough from us - what do you think Tevez should do? Where would he fit in best? Should he try to make up with Man City? Let us know your thoughts on Twitter @goal_intl using the #goallive hastag

9:14 AM GMT Back to Tevez now, and this time Italy editor Kris Voakes shares his thoughts:
"It seems pretty safe that it would be Milan if anyone, according to the Italian press at least.Juve talk is getting short shrift from the bigger news sources - however much they could do with someone clinical up front, while Inter admitting defeat was seemingly definitive.
"There is still the belief that Milan could get him on loan with an obligatory summer purchase, despite Pato's staying and Lopez's arrival meaning they'd be overloaded.
"It wouldn't be the first time Milan went for numbers up top, and while City have been steadfast over the loan idea, I think Milan see their numbers up front as a position of strength to chance their arm again on a deal and not be in panic mode if it doesn't come off."

9:09 AM GMT TRANSFER UPDATE - from Goal.com UK lead correspondent Wayne Veysey:
I am told that Fiorentina and Ajax agreed a fee last night for Mounir El Hamdouai of €2 million (£1.7m). The striker began his medical on Saturday and the deal should be completed imminently.

9:02 AM GMT While we gather more thoughts on the unsettled Argentine, why not take some time to take a look through some of our transfer-related editorial content, starting with this:
Still to replace Paolo Maldini - AC Milan's fruitless search for a top-class left-back goes on

8:55 AM GMT With the Argentine so closely linked to Paris Saint-Germain, we asked France editor Robin Bairner to weigh in first:
"To be honest I wish he'd just move and get it overwith already! In all seriousness, though, I don't think PSG - or Milan, for that matter - will have given up on him just yet."
Goal.com Intl: Do you think with Hazard's admission that he's moving to the EPL, PSG will make more of an effort to sign [another big name like] Tevez this window?
"No, because I think the players would have had different roles to play at the Parc des Princes. Tevez could be signed as an attacking spearhead, whereas Hazard would be a creative player to support the forwards.
"If money was really an issue for PSG, then they might have to think more closely about their transfer policy, but the way their placed at the moment, they can afford to be hot on the tails of more than one expensive player."

8:40 AM GMT The main question we've been asked so far today, rather unsurprisingly, is whether Manchester City's Carlos Tevez will make a move.
The latest reports state that AC Milan will make one last attempt to sign the striker, but the harsh truth is that the media are very much in the dark over the whole saga at the moment.
So, for now - and over the course of the day - lets get some feedback from our area experts on the situation...

8:29 AM GMT To Twitter now, and FahadalSindi wants to know:
'Will inter sign Fredy Guarin in this transfer window?'
Goal.com's Italy editor Kris Voakes feels that the Colombian's move all hinges on what happens with Thiago Motta's proposed move to Paris Saint-Germain:
"If Ranieri can persuade the board to keep Motta then it probably won't happen, but the Nerazzurri no doubt look to fill the void should the Italy international leave."

8:15 AM GMT Arguably the biggest story at the moment, however, is Lille star Eden Hazard's admission that he will be playing in England next season.
Manchester City, Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal have all been credited with interest in the winger, but which EPL team do you think he would fit in best at? Who needs him the most? Let us know your thoughts by hitting us up on Twitter, but for now lets hear what France editor Robin Bairner makes of the move:
"I think he would be best placed at Manchester United or Chelsea," says Robin. "United need a good, creative player, and Hazard would likely move straight into the first XI - something that would suit him."
"As for Chelsea, he'd have big, strong midfielders to do all the leg work for him, leaving him free to concentrate on attacking. However, the concern with the blues is that Juan Mata might be too similar to him, whereas he could become United's Mata or David Silva at Old Trafford."
