Premier League transfer round-up: Latest deals from the January window

The January transfer window is nearing its climax with Arsenal, Manchester United, Liverpool and more expected to be busy before the deadline.

Alexis Sanchez is finally a Manchester United player and made his debut as his new side swept aside Yeovil on Friday night. Jose Mourinho isn't stopping there though with a new central midfielder now on his shopping list. Arsenal are bedding Henrikh Mkhitaryan in but Arsene Wenger is keen to add at least one more new face before the window shuts with deals for Dortmund's Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and West Brom's Jonny Evans set to go down to the wire.

Manchester City are closing in on a new central defender with Athletic Bilbao's Aymeric Laporte set to arrive imminently while Chelsea's search for a new striker continues with talks over Roma's Edin Dzeko ongoing. Could Arsenal's Olivier Giroud arrive instead before the month is out?

We will have all the latest news throughout the day right here.

James McCarthy and James McArthur set the bar high for Hamilton's youth graduates - but Greg Docherty believes he can surpass their achievements at Rangers.

After sealing his £675,000 move to Ibrox this week, the former Accies youngster declared Gers were just the perfect club to take his career to the next level.

His former Hamilton boss Martin Canning certainly believes the 21-year-old has the potential to make the same kind of impact as McCarthy and McArthur.

The duo both started out at the SuperSeal stadium before going on to establish themselves both in the Premier League and on the international scene with Ireland and Scotland respectively.

And now Docherty says he aims to enjoy similar success after joining his boyhood favourites.

The Scotland Under-21 cap said: "They are the bench mark for Hamilton's youth system and you want to better them in a sense.

"Me coming here is a massive decision for me but hopefully I can kick on and play on a massive platform. It doesn't come bigger in Scotland that this place.

"It's a huge club and I know what's involved.

"I want to go and better what your McArthurs and McCarthys achieved and for me, this is where it starts."

With a medical passed, all that is left to finalise Vicente Guaita's move from Getafe to Crystal Palace is agreement on when it will take place.

The Daily Mail reports that talks are still ongoing on whether the 31-year-old will join Palace for free in the summer or at the end of this January's transfer window - but with a £3.5million release clause in tow.
