The fact that the January transfer window is closed does not mean that the rumour mill has stopped, and as it continues to produce stories, we’re back with our daily morning round-up of the biggest fresh Premier League transfer rumours you may have missed over the last 24 hours.

Arsenal is already said to have held “some initial conversations” over a potential deal, while Chelsea is also “in the conversation” – though it doesn’t sound like they’ve firmed up their interest just yet – and it’s claimed that Arsenal has shown “the strongest interest” in Bidon thus far.
The youngster’s contract reportedly includes a whopping €100 million (£86 million) release clause, but Corinthians are reportedly willing to compromise for a more “realistic” price tag in the summer, estimated to be around €30 million (£26 million).
