A loan spell in the Championship awaits Arsenal winger Marquinhos after confirmation of a loan move to Norwich.

The Canaries automatic promotion dreams are in tatters, but there’s every hope the Brazilian can help secure a play-off berth for David Wagner’s side – he’s signed until the end of the season.

One of the hottest properties of this January window has been Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder Moises Caicedo.

The Ecuadorian has publicly declared that he’d like to leave the Seagulls to pursue a ‘massive opportunity’, but there’s been no suggestion yet that Brighton will cave in and sell despite receiving bids of £70m.

Nevertheless, 90min understands that Arsenal are likely to return with a third offer, while big-spending Chelsea are also likely to make another offer despite pursuing Enzo Fernandez.

8:30am – EVERTON MATCH SOUTHAMPTON’S SULEMANA BID

Everton confirmed the appointment of Sean Dyche as their new manager on Monday, and it’s straight down to transfer business for the former Burnley chief.

An offer was lodged for Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher in the immediate aftermath of Dyche’s arrival, but 90min understands that former reinforcements are on the agenda too.

An offer of just over £20m has been submitted to Rennes for Kamaldeen Sulemana, and there’s interest in former West Ham and Swansea forward Andre Ayew – he’s a free agent after terminating his contract at Qatari side Al Sadd.

Struggling Southampton have also lodged a bid for Sulemana as they look to beef up their options out wide.

8:25am – BOURNEMOUTH AGREE ZABARNYI DEAL

Bournemouth have already spent over £30m on Dango Ouattara and Antoine Semenyo this January, but it looks like the Cherries will be forking out more before the window slams shut.

90min understands that a deal worth just over £20m for Dynamo Kyiv’s Illya Zabarnyi has been agreed, while a move for Hamed Traore is near after he arrived on the south coast for a medical.

Matias Vina and Darren Randolph have also joined Bournemouth over the past couple of days.

There’s so many deals in the pipeline, and you won’t be surprised to learn that much of the remaining business centres around Chelsea.

Tood Boehly has splashed out an incredible amount of money already at Stamford Bridge, but there could be plenty of incomings and outgoings if he gets his way.

Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo are two players they want to bring in. although the latter is Arsenal’s primary target, while Conor Gallagher, Hakim Ziyech, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Jorginho are among those who could leave to help balance the books.

It’s shaping up to be a fascinating day…

8:15am – GOOD MORNING!
