Bayern confirm signing of winger
The Bundesliga outfit have confirmed the loan signing of Bryan Zaragoza from Granada on loan. Due to the injury of Kingsley Coman, Bayern have had to get some cover in on the wing. The 22-year-old will be looking to try and make the deal permanent by impressing in Germany.
Lazio loan move for Kent
Ryan Kent is close to completing a loan move to Lazio from Fenerbahce.

Swans swoop for Sagoe Jr
Swansea City have bagged highly-rated Arsenal youngster Charles Sagoe Jr on a loan deal until the end of the season. The 19-year-old forward has moved to South Wales subject to international clearance, where he will link up with another young Gunner in Charlie Patino. Sagoe Jr made his senior debut as a sub in Arsenal’s League Cup win at Brentford back in September and could go straight into Luke Williams’ squad for the Championship game against Plymouth on Saturday.
Done Deal: Newcastle sign Harrison
Newcastle have announced the signing of Manchester City wonderkid Alfie Harrison. The midfielder, 18, will link up with Toon’s academy after signing a contract until the summer of 2026. The Magpies have paid a small fee up front but City have a 40% sell-on clause written into the deal. Harrison expressed his excitement for joining the club and is looking forward to a successful career.
Fulham foiled by Frankfurt in forward forage
Fulham’s pursuit of Hugo Ekitike was short-lived as the young Paris Saint-Germain forward now looks set to join Eintracht Frankfurt. According to Fabrizio Romano, the 21-year-old will move to the Bundesliga on a loan deal before completing a £26 million move at the end of the season. PSG has also included a sell-on clause for the striker that they signed from Reims last summer.
More on Rogers’ Villa move
One of the biggest deals of this deadline day so far has been Morgan Rogers’ move from Middlesbrough to Aston Villa. The 21-year-old will wear the number 27 shirt at Villa Park after making a switch that could end up costing in the region £16 million. The Premier League champions included a 25% sell-on clause when they allowed the youngster to join Boro for approximately £1 million in the summer. This deal could potentially net Manchester City close to £4 million.
