Who's on the list? Van Gaal and United are being linked with several players in this window

We are nearly halfway through the January transfer window - but there's plenty of time for deals to be done yet.

Already, there's been wheeling, there's been dealing and if speculation is to be believed, we will have a lot to report on in the coming weeks.

We will keep you up to date with all the latest rumours, done deals and analysis all through January.

The January transfer window runs until February 2 - because it cannot close on a weekend - meaning that clubs have a few days next month to add to their squads and make that final push in the second half of the season.

So what stories do we have for you today? We've put them all right here in one handy place, just for you.
