Southampton manager Ronald Koeman has said that Manchester United have still not tabled an offer to sign Nathaniel Clyne. He also revealed that the club are still working hard to coax the player into signing a new contract with the club.

The Dutchman was quoted telling reporters: "Not any news at the moment, the club is still talking with him to keep him here. A lot of rumours but there has been no bid for Clyne. We've had no contact from Manchester United."

Chelsea are on the verge signing Fiorentina ace Juan Cuadrado. According to reports in BBC Sport, the Blues are on the brink of finalising a £23.3m deal for the Colombian, a fee which, when coupled with add-ons, would become £26.8m – the player’s release clause amount. It is believed that Cuadrado has already agreed to personal terms with the west Londoners and that the two sides are only completing the final formalities for the deal now. It is believed that Cuadrado may even have a medical today itself, at London, and may even become available for the Blues’ Premier League encounter against Manchester City tomorrow.

Meanwhile, it is also reported that the deal will see Chelsea flop Mohamed Salah moving to Fiorentina on loan for the rest of the season. While it was earlier believed that the Blues will be paying the wages of the player during his loan stint at Italy, an official confirmation on the reports is still awaited. Also, the Egyptian himself has still not agreed upon the move.

Liverpool are set to make a move for Burnley forward Danny Ings before the transfer window draws to a close on Monday, according to reports in BBC Sport.

It is believed that the Reds manager Brendan Rodgers is even ready to let the player move back to Turf Moor for the rest of the season on loan after he has signed a deal with the Merseysiders.

Chelsea striker Diego Costa has lost his appeal to the English Football Association for his inadvertent stamp on Liverpool midfielder Emre Can in their Capital One Cup semi-final triumph at Stamford Bridge last week.

Costa was caught on camera going in studs high on both Martin Skrtel and Emre Can in the game, and though he escaped punishment due to his attempt to play the ball when landing on Skrtel, referee Michael Oliver decided to charge the player with violent conduct on reviewing television footage of the incident.

Arsenal are facing competition from Real Madrid in the race to sign Valencia youngster Jose Luis Gaya. And while the Gunners manager Arsene Wenger would not relish the prospect of tussling with Los Blancos in Gaya’s pursuit, the whole situation has opened a window of opportunity for Manchester United. Reports in The Daily Express have revealed that if Real do manage to sign Gaya in the near future, it would make it easy for the Red Devils to sign their long term target Fabio Coentrao.

The Manchester giants have been showcasing an interest in the player for quite a while now, with new manager Louis van Gaal also understood to be keen on landing him at Old Trafford.
