Today's biggest transfer stories
Liverpool and Manchester United are set to battle it out for Everton defender Jarrad Branthwaite. The 23-year-old is reportedly valued at around €74.5million by the Toffees and they do not want to part ways with the academy graduate.

Conor Gallagher is being lined up for a return to the Premier League just 18 months after joining Atlético Madrid.

Arsenal goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga could be set for a swift exit from the club in January. Reports claim that ex-Gunners favourite Cesc Fàbregas, currently head coach of Serie A outfit Como, is keen on bringing his former Chelsea team-mate to Italy and may launch a move in the coming months.
