Chelsea want to sign Spain’s Under-21 winger Yeremay Hernandez but Deportivo La Coruna have rejected an opening bid of £8m, says Fabrizio Romano.

Deportivo, currently a second-tier side in Spain, are holding out for much more, with Napoli also said to be tracking the winger.

It is business as usual for Ange Postecoglou and Tottenham despite the club’s poor form.

The pressure increased on Postecoglou after a 2-1 home defeat to Leicester on Sunday, but the Australian is primed to face the media again on Wednesday afternoon before Spurs’ midweek Europa League tie with Elfsborg.

While Tottenham are 15th in the Premier League and only eight points above the relegation zone, Postecoglou was again without 10 first-team players last weekend, which has been a regular occurrence over a two-month period where they have played 17 fixtures.

Renato Veiga has arrived in Italy to complete his medical at Juventus.

Juventus are reportedly paying a £4.2m loan fee to the Blues, with Chelsea covering the 21-year-old’s wages.

He’ll be in Turin until the end of the season.

Representatives from Manchester United and Napoli are meeting again to discuss a deal for Alejandro Garnacho.

Sky Sports report the clubs will discuss the 20-year-old’s future with Ruben Amorim admitting he was unsure of Garnacho’s future.

Amorim said: “That, nobody knows. Anything can happen.”

For most of the window Arsenal have been trying to get a move for RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko over the line.

The German club have not been forthcoming over a fee or the possibility of a transfer as they rate Sesko’s skills highly.

Currently fifth in the Bundesliga, Leipzig know how much a Champions League place would be worth to them and they believe Sesko is a key factor in them maintaining or even improving their position in the table.

As such they are reluctant to let the forward leave this month and Arsenal will have to pivot their attention to other options.

Aston Villa have reportedly agreed personal terms with Chelsea’s Axel Disasi.

Fabrizio Romano says that Villa and Chelsea must still come to an agreement over a fee for the centre-back but the move seems likely.

Disasi has only made six appearances this season for the Blues.

Brentford are considering a move for Barcelona‘s Andreas Christensen, as manager Thomas Frank looks at whether he can improve his defensive options this January. The Camp Nou hierarchy want to make outgoings to meet financial restrictions but it is understood the former Chelsea centre-half wants to fight for his place.

Christensen has been injured for much of the season, meaning he has only made one league appearance. While the 28-year-old is intent on reclaiming his place, Barca’s financial situation has meant clubs are willing to test whether a deal is possible.

Arsenal are leading the race for Rosenborg’s Sverre Nypan, with talks about the player having ramped up over the weekend.

The 18-year-old attacking midfielder has attracted considerable attention this January, with interest also coming from Aston Villa and the City Football Group through Girona.

It is understood there has been progress with Arsenal in recent days and Rosenborg prepared to do a deal.

Manchester City have signed Christian McFarlane from New York City FC.

The 18-year-old left-back has become the first homegrown player at NYCFC to progress to a Premier League club.

Wolves are back in talks with Lens over a deal for Kevin Danso.

They are pushing again for an agreement with Lens around the £16m mark.

Manager Vitor Pereira outlined after the 1-0 loss to Arsenal that the club need reinforcements in defence and midfield.
