January 2026
Palace confirmed the signing of Strand Larsen from Wolves in a club-record deal worth about £50m, with a four-and-a-half-year contract and the No. 22 shirt. Palace moved late to complete the transfer; Parish framed the striker as a long-term asset, while Strand Larsen said he is joining to bring energy and goals after a tougher second season at a struggling Wolves.
Cristiano Ronaldo
January 2026
Reports claim Ronaldo may refuse selection for the next match, driven by dissatisfaction with how Al-Nassr is being supported relative to other PIF-backed clubs, not due to load management. One outlet says the planned absence narrative is wrong and frames the issue as governance and investment frustration, citing limited winter recruitment and internal powers being curtailed for senior Portuguese staff.
Tylel Tati
January 2026
Chelsea made a late move for 18-year-old Nantes defender Tati with a reported €30m verbal offer, planning to loan him to Strasbourg, after losing Jacquet to Liverpool. Chelsea accelerated talks once Jacquet’s move to Liverpool progressed; the offer reportedly includes add-ons like a sell-on clause, but time pressure and the player’s decision process are key obstacles.
Pep Guardiola
January 2026
Guardiola argued Tottenham’s first goal should not have stood after a contentious contact in the build-up/finish, as City blew a 2-0 lead to draw 2-2. City led through Cherki and Semenyo, then Solanke scored twice to level; Guardiola said similar contact by a defender on a striker is given as a penalty, and pointed to inconsistency in Premier League officiating.
Anneke Borbe
January 2026
Borbe was stretchered off with a neck brace and oxygen after a collision, with the match delayed and players visibly concerned despite Arsenal winning 3-2. Borbe collided with Wubben-Moy while diving for a long ball, triggering a concussion substitution; Van Domselaar replaced her and wore Borbe’s shirt for the medal moment; Wubben-Moy said the team would check on Borbe before celebrating.
Zak Vyner
January 2026
Wrexham completed Vyner’s signing for an undisclosed fee as their first January addition, targeting leadership and experience for the promotion push. Vyner was omitted from Bristol City’s squad before the move, then signed a deal with an extension option; he cited Wrexham’s project and recent promotion run as key factors.
Benjamin Šeško
January 2026
Šeško said Carrick has raised United’s work rate and collective defending, helping fuel a perfect three-game run, and described his late winner as a personal dream moment. United conceded a late equaliser, then Šeško turned and hit the top corner minutes later; he said Carrick’s message is freedom with increased off-ball effort and spacing discipline; his recent scoring form has accelerated with four goals in four games.
Harry Amass
January 2026
Norwich said Amass suffered a serious injury in the final seconds of training and could miss a long period, potentially the rest of the season. He debuted after joining on loan, then was injured before the next match; Clement said Norwich will coordinate with United and will not sign another left-back, using existing depth.
Michael Carrick
January 2026
Carrick said he is not offended by planned fan protests against ownership, despite improved results under his interim spell. The protest is driven by long-running anger at the Glazers and continued frustration after recent underperformance; Carrick acknowledged the context while focusing on football matters.
