Arsenal seem set to miss out on the January signings of both Arthur Melo from Juventus and Dominic Calvert-Lewin from Everton. Elsewhere, Atletico Madrid want to sign Matty Cash from Aston Villa, Barcelona want Wolves’ Adama Traore, and there are clubs lining up for Donny van de Beek at Manchester United.
ARSENAL COULD MISS OUT ON MELO AND CALVERT-LEWIN
Arsenal could miss out on two transfer targets in the coming days, reports the Daily Mail. The first player is Arthur Melo, who had been lined up for an 18-month loan, but his current club Juventus will not let him leave without a replacement. The other is Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin, with competition from Borussia Dortmund and Everton unlikely to sell in January.
Dortmund will be working hard to be able to swiftly replace Erling Haaland ahead of his expected departure this summer. Calvert-Lewin will then have the chance of regular Champions League football as he looks to establish himself as England’s first team striker, and may have more to offer than Harry Kane in terms of experience.
ATLETICO WANT CASH
The Sun reports that Atletico Madrid want to sign Matty Cash from Aston Villa, with the 24-year-old likely to cost between £30-40 million from the Midlands side. The player is wanted by manager Diego Simeone to replace Kieran Trippier, who joined up with Newcastle earlier this window. While a summer move is most likely, a transfer before the end of January cannot be ruled out.

Huddersfield Town play host to Stoke City tonight with the opportunity to strengthen their position in the Championship playoffs.

1.42Since his move to Villa in 2020, Cash has started to show his full potential and he may even be on the cusp of an international career. A move to Atletico might even force Gareth Southgate’s hand once he has top-flight experience and regular action in the Champions League. Villa, though, are no longer a selling club so a stay with them could appeal.
TRAORE SET FOR BARCA SWITCH
Wolves winger Adama Traore could have a medical with Barcelona as soon as Friday after talks between the two sides intensified ahead of a move, according to Spanish newspaper Marca. An initial loan deal with a 30m euro option to buy in the summer seems to be the likely structure, and his arrival would not present any salary cap problems – and could hasten Ousmane Dembele out the door.
