Transfer news and rumours LIVE: Real Madrid ready to pay €120m for Leipzig's Gvardiol

Dele Alli joined Besiktas on a season-long loan from Everton in the summer, but BBC Sport are reporting that the Turkish club are considering terminating his contract after just five months.

The 26-year-old's poor form in England has continued into Turkey, having played just nine games and scoring two goals in 2022-23. Alli was even booed by his own supporters as he was substituted in Besiktas' 4-2 comeback win in the Turkish Cup against third tier Sanliurfaspor in December.

Former Tottenham and Southampton midfielder has signed a new two-year deal with MLS side CF Montreal, the club have confirmed.

“We are glad to have concluded a new deal with Victor and that he remains with us,” said Vice-President and Chief Sporting Officer, Olivier Renard. “During the last three seasons, he has been an important player on the field and in the locker room. His personality, his experience, and his qualities as a player will notably help us with the stability of the group for the season to come.”

Il reste! 👊

Levi Colwill joined Brighton on loan from Chelsea in the summer, but journalist Simon Phillips has revealed that the 19-year-old is a big part of Graham Potter's plans going forward, with the Blues not likely to even consider another loan move for the centre-back next term.

"I’m told that Levi’s still in the plans of Chelsea," Phillips told GiveMeSport. "Obviously, they’ve got this big emphasis on young players and building for the future, and with Colwill being young, Chelsea want him in the squad. He’s one they have no plans on selling or loaning again. They want him to stay at Brighton for this season to develop because he still needs to develop.”

Eddie Howe has confirmed that Newcastle United would be active in the transfer window as they Jonjo Shelvey and Matt Targett have been ruled out due to injuries.

"We have the two injuries at the moment to Jonjo (Shelvey) and Matt Targett. Those injuries were a huge blow for us to take two quality players out of squad that’s not hugely deep in terms of numbers.

"That’s why the transfer talk is interesting from our perspective because I think it will be injury-related. What will dictate what we do transfer-wise will be the injury list, not so much the games," he stated before facing Sheffield Wednesday in the FA Cup.
