The January transfer window is moving at speed, with rumours and confirmed deals continuing to emerge.

Sterling Leaves Chelsea

Raheem Sterling has officially left Chelsea after the club agreed to a mutual termination of his contract. The 82-cap England international has been frozen out all season and has not played a competitive match for the Blues since May 2024. Chelsea thanked Sterling for his contributions and wished him well in the next stage of his career.

Paqueta Set for Flamengo Move

West Ham United have agreed a deal to sell Lucas Paqueta to Flamengo for a fee of £36.5 million. The Brazilian midfielder expressed a desire to return home, and both clubs have now reached an agreement.

Palmer Linked With Manchester United

Speculation continues around Chelsea star Cole Palmer. Former Premier League midfielder Danny Murphy believes Palmer could be a long-term successor to Bruno Fernandes at Manchester United. Although Palmer is under a long-term contract at Chelsea, interest from United could increase, particularly if they secure Champions League qualification.

United Likely to Stay Quiet

Manchester United are expected to remain quiet for the remainder of the transfer window unless a significant injury forces late action. Reports suggest the club is comfortable with its current squad depth.

Other Transfer Developments

Fulham have agreed a £27 million deal for Manchester City winger Oscar Bobb. Barry Bannan has completed an 18-month move to Millwall, while Adama Traore has joined West Ham to reunite with manager Nuno Espirito Santo.

With the transfer deadline approaching, clubs across the Premier League are racing to finalise deals before time runs out.
