Transfer news LIVE: Man Utd target Disasi, Kudus and Kolo Muani as Real Madrid lead Bellingham race

And there you go! Just confirmed, Southampton have signed Mislav Orsic from Dinamo Zagreb for £6m. The 30-year-old has signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with the Premier League club, who will hope he is a boost to their survival chances.

Southampton manager Nathan Jones said: “Mislav is a significant addition to our squad and I’m delighted we have been able to get him in so quickly this month.

“He’s a serious attacking threat and I’m sure anyone who has followed his progress or saw what he achieved at the World Cup will realise the talent he has. We’re excited to have him here.”

Mislav Orsic said: “I feel very happy to be here, I think it’s a dream for every football player to come to play in the Premier League and I’m here, I’m ready, I’m motivated and I hope that I will help the team to achieve their goals.

“When I come here to the camp, it’s amazing, and I’m sure I will really enjoy my time here. Now it’s a little bit of a difficult situation for the club, but I think we need to stay together. We have only one plan – everybody to stay in the Premier League. We need to work hard every day and I hope that at the end of the year we will be happy.”

Southampton are rock bottom of the Premier League and need improvements fast.

New boss Nathan Jones wants additions to the squad and two could be incoming soon according to reports.

First, a deal looks to have been agreed for Mislav Orsic, with a £6m fee payable for the Croatian attacking midfielder. He’ll be having his medical soon, it appears.

Secondly, Saints want Michael Keane from Everton, with the centre-back well out of favour with Frank Lampard and the Athletic claiming that while the south coast team want a loan, the Toffees might only take a permanent deal.

Tottenham forward Bryan Gil is set to remain at the club this month following his impressive appearance against Crystal Palace on Wednesday.

The 21-year-old had been linked with a loan move away, potentially back to Spain, but played a key role in Tottenham’s 4-0 win at Selhurst Park.

And Tottenham assistant head coach Cristian Stellini said he expects the Spaniard to remain at Spurs this window.

“I think so, yeah,” Stellini said when asked if Gil would stay at Tottenham. “He could and he’s playing very well. We’re so happy because he’s another player we worked a lot with.

“He has a great, great, great improvement, because he trains every day 110%. He puts in all his energy every day and this is why he deserved to play a good match to be important in that match, with an assist, and the last pass before an assist. It was a great match for him.”

Crystal Palace boss Patrick Vieira believes goalkeeper Jack Butland’s loan to Manchester United will benefit both clubs.

The move was confirmed on Friday morning, with the 29-year-old set to provide a third option for Erik Ten Hag, who also has number one David De Gea and Tom Heaton at his disposal.

Vieira has been vocal about the need for January reinforcements to his inconsistent 12th-placed side and Butland’s departure could free up both space and resources.

He said: “I think for us, we knew that we had three really good goalkeepers and Jack was one of them, and sometimes a player wants to have more time on the field than you can promise, so I think at the end it’s a really good move for Jack.

“And the last couple of years that I’ve worked with him, he has been a real professional and we wish him all the best.”

Manchester City are ready to rival Real Madrid and Liverpool for Jude Bellingham.

According to ESPN, City may look to overhaul their midfield this summer if Bernardo Silva and Ilkay Gundogan leave the club.

Chelsea have signed 18-year-old Brazilian forward Andrey Santos, according to a statement from his club Vasco de Gama.

A statement on the club’s website said: ““Vasco da Gama agreed this Friday (01/06) the permanent transfer of the athlete Andrey Santos to European football. Born in the youth ranks of Gigante da Colina, the midfielder will defend the colours of Chelsea, from England, in the coming seasons.The youngster will end his first spell at the club from Sao Januario at the age of 18 with 38 appearances and eight goals.”

The deal is worth a reported £13m, according to reports, but is set to include a number of add-ons.

Chelsea are yet to announce the transfer.

Aston Villa manager Unai Emery has revealed he is on the search for a winger this month.

“When I arrived here, we need a winger, a specific winger, we need it and we are trying to find one,” Emery said. “We are trying to add some different characteristics of the players to introduce into the squad. We now have two strikers in Ollie Watkins and Danny Ings who are specifically strikers.

“If we will add someone they will be different as a characteristic, as a player. We are thinking of adding one more into the squad.”

Aston Villa have been linked with Villarreal winger Arnaut Danjuma as well as Udinese’s Gerard Deulofeu, two players Emery has worked with previously.

Emery has also dismissed suggestions he will allow Danny Ings to leave this month, although Cameron Archer has joined Middlesbrough on loan.

David Moyes admits West Ham could make moves in the January transfer market in a bid to climb away from relegation trouble.

Moyes had previously insisted January would not be a busy time after the club splashed £160million on the likes of Nayef Aguerd, Lucas Paqueta and Gianluca Scamacca over the summer.

But, with the Hammers lying perilously close to the drop zone, Moyes might have had a rethink. “We might try and do some business if we can,” said Moyes. “But ultimately the club spent a lot of money in the summer and we brought in a lot of players.

“And, ideally, we’re not trying to bring in so many players. We brought in a lot in this summer and we’re still trying to integrate them and get used to the Premier League. But we may need to, depending on how we think the situation is.”

Brentford manager Thomas Frank has praised the signing of striker Kevin Schade, who has arrived on loan from Freiburg until the end of the season.

“He’s almost a perfect Brentford player; he has very good potential, wants to learn, and is a good character. I really like his pace, ability to go in behind, and his goalscoring potential. He will be involved in the squad tomorrow,” Frank said ahead of Brentford’s match against West Ham in the FA Cup.

“Kevin was the number one priority. We have no other clear priorities but if there is a good deal at the right price and the right potential, because I think we have enough experience in the team, then we’ll see.”

Arsenal have confirmed the signing of midfielder Victoria Pelova from Ajax on a permanent deal, with head coach Jonas Eidevall describing the 23-year-old Netherlands international as “one of the most exciting young players in the game”.

“I’m delighted to have signed for Arsenal,” said Pelova, who has made 31 appearances for the Netherlands. “I’ve always admired this club and dreamt of following in the footsteps of some of the great Dutch players who have worn the shirt. I can’t wait to get going and start contributing to the team.”

Eidevall said: “It’s fantastic news that we’ve signed Victoria. I think she’s one of the most exciting young players in the game and she will bring added dynamism and energy to our midfield. I’m looking forward to working with Victoria and I think our supporters are going to love watching her in an Arsenal shirt.”
