Winmau World Masters darts LIVE! Latest updates, scores, highlights as Luke Littler, Luke Humphries, Gian van Veen feature

Tottenham's James joins Cardiff

Tottenham forward Herbie James has joined League One side Cardiff City on a permanent transfer.

James, who signed for Spurs in 2023 from Manchester City, moves to south Wales with Cardiff top of League One. 

The Macclesfield-born forward, who can play both out wide and as a number nine, played 20 times for our Academy sides, scoring five goals.

Analysis: Forest bid will be tempting for Celtic

Your Site News' Anthony Joseph:

Celtic made it clear to Nottingham Forest that Engels was not for sale in this window, but a bid worth 25m changes things dramatically.

They hoped that rejecting the second bid 17.3m this morning would make Forest move on to other targets.

They did - for a few hours. But after being knocked back by Middlesbrough in a pursuit for Hayden Hackney, they've turned to testing Celtic's resolve again.

Martin O'Neill said he would expect any bids for Engels to be rebuffed, but joked the board would intervene if they received an offer of 100m.

This isn't 100m, but it's nearing the territory of Celtic's record sales.

Engels has played 37 games for Celtic this season. He has scored five goals and provided seven assists. The Belgium international is an integral part of the team.

With so little time left in the window to find a replacement, Celtic have been left with a difficult decision to make.

Hibernian sign German wing-back Passlack

Hibernian have confirmed the permanent signing of German wing-back Felix Passlack from VfL Bochum

The 27-year-old joins David Grays side for an undisclosed fee, penning a three-and-a-half-year contract to keep him at the Club until June 2029.

Passlack, who can play anywhere on the right flank, becomes Hibs fourth signing of the January transfer window 

The defender made his professional debut for Borussia Dortmund aged 17 and became the youngest German scorer in UEFA Champions League history scoring against Legia Warsawa in 2016.

Man Utd's Biancheri set for Rotherham loan

Manchester United striker Gabriele Biancheri is close to joining League One side Rotherham United on loan until the end of the season.

The 19-year-old had attracted interest from around Europe including Real Betis but Rotherham is seen as the best step for his development.

Biancheri has scored 5 goals in 10 PL2 appearances this season.

Bella-Kotchap Hellas Verona loan made permanent

Southampton have confirmed that defender Armel Bella-Kotchap's loan move at Hellas Verona has been made permanent.

What will Jacquet bring to Liverpool?

Jeremy Jacquet is one of the most sought-after defenders in Europe, with Liverpool and Chelsea interested in him this month.

But what will the Liverpool-bound defender bring to the Reds?

Jacquet is top out of all Ligue 1 players for winning the ball in the air - a skill that Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate both excel at in the Premier League.

So you can see why Liverpool have moved for Jacquet - with the French defender able to be a long-term replacement for both Liverpool centre-backs...

Aberdeen confrim Gieger as sixth January signing

Aberdeen have signed midfielder Dennis Geiger on loan from TSG Hoffenheim.

The 27-year-old is the Dons' sixth addition of the January window, with an option to make the move permanent in the summer included in the deal.

Geiger made close to 150 appearances for Hoffenheim across domestic and European competitions, becoming a regular presence in the Bundesliga over the last six seasons.


Three hours to go!

Jacquet's Liverpool medical underway

Latest from Your Site News' Vinny O'Connor:

Jeremy Jacquet's Liverpool medical is underway.

The 20-year-old, who Chelsea had been trying to sign, is set to move to Anfield in the summer.

Liverpool agreed to pay a fixed fee of 55m plus a potential 5m in performance-related add-ons.

Could Arsenal turn to Oxlade-Chamberlain as cover for Merino?

Mikel Arteta refused to rule out signing Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain as Arsenal "actively looking at options to replace Mikel Merino in the closing hours of the transfer window.

Merino is set to be sidelined for the remainder of the season with a fractured right foot which requires surgery. But Arteta said the club, whose trophy aspirations were derailed by injuries last season, do not want to take any chances.

And speaking ahead of the second leg of Arsenals Carabao Cup semi-final clash against Chelsea, where his side hold a 3-2 aggregate lead, Arteta said: We are actively looking at options and we will continue to do that."

Arteta was then asked about the possibility of signing former Gunner Oxlade-Chamberlain, who has been training with the U21s at the club to build up his fitness.

"We explore every option," Arteta said.

Oxlade-Chamberlain has been without a club since leaving Besiktas last summer.
