Juventus are not giving up on Oscar at Chelsea.

The Italian champions remain keen to add further creativity behind their strikers and see Brazilian Oscar as ideal for the role. They are prepared to sign Juan Cuadrado on a permanent deal also but talks are unlikely to kick on until the summer when budgets are clearer.

Juventus will also have a better idea of what they need to recruit elsewhere should Paul Pogba depart. Chelsea are interested in Pogba but may find their negotiating power weakened if they fail to qualify for the Champions League.

Crystal Palace have held initial talks over a £750,000 move for Stuttgart defender Georg Niedermeier.

The 29-year-old former Bayern Munich centre back is out of contract in the summer and Palace are ready to strike a deal in January to seal his transfer.

Alan Pardew wants competition at centre back with the likes of 34-year-old Brede Hangeland heading towards the end of his career.

Niedermeier has vast experience and can add goals from set-pieces.

Palace, meanwhile, have agreed a deal for 18-year-old Tower Hamlets winger Randell Williams.

Norwich and Sunderland have checked on Sebastien Haller of Utrecht.

The 21-year-old striker was the subject of a failed bid from Brentford last summer and has gone on to score 10 goals in 15 Eredivisie games.

Norwich are understood to be willing to offer £6.5m for the France Under 21 international and Utrecht will sell, however, they anticipate interest from Ajax, who Utrecht beat on Sunday, and they are understood to be Haller's preference.

Sunderland watched Haller on Sunday but Norwich are understood to be further down the line in their attempts to sign the 6ft 3in frontman.

Norwich have also checked on Midtjylland's coveted striker Pione Sisto who has also attracted recent attention from Southampton.

Sisto, 20, is Ugandan born but now a Denmark international. Manchester City, Liverpool, Arsenal and Barcelona have all watched him over the past 18 months but, while he has great potential, there remain reservations about his level and consistency

Stoke City are showing an interest in Stefan Kiessling after he indicated he will leave Bayer Leverkusen in the January transfer window.

Kiessling, 31, gave an emotional interview following Leverkusen’s 5-0 victory over Borussia Monchengladbach on Saturday and admitted he may have played his last game for the Bundesliga club.

Talking to Sky Sport Deutschland about a move away, he said: 'I’ve got to be honest and say we’ll have to see.

'I’ll speak to the bosses and see what the best solution is. I’ve been here nearly 10 years and always played and when you sit on the bench so often, then it does get on your nerves.'

Liverpool have been linked but Kiessling does not fit their profile of player and they do not intend to do any business in January at this stage.

West Brom have offered a trial to Hitchin Town defender Kane Smith. The 19-year-old plays as a wing-back for the Evo-Stick Southern League Premier side and has already had two trials with Crystal Palace's Under 21s.

Watford are hoping to take Juan Iturbe on loan from Roma in January.

The former Argentina U20 international winger was signed from Verona for £15.75m last year but has suffered a dip in form.

Former club Verona are also keen but Roma would prefer the 22-year-old to go abroad.

Watford, Stoke and Crystal Palace are also among those asking to be kept informed about Juventus forward Simone Zaza who may be allowed out on loan in January.

Bournemouth are among clubs checking on Wolves winger Jordan Graham.

The former Aston Villa prospect has blossomed under Kenny Jackett's coaching at Molineux and was outstanding during Wolves' 1-1 draw with Nottingham Forest on Friday night. The 20-year-old has made just four starts but is already drawing attention from Premier League sides.

Wolves, meanwhile, are braced for a renewed bid from Norwich for Benik Afobe. Wolves rejected a £10m offer from Norwich in August. Afobe has scored eight goals this season and was on the bench for the draw with Forest.

Burnley are showing interest in Brentford defender James Tarkowski.

Brentford signed the 23-year-old from Oldham in January 2014 and he has been a regular in their rise from League One.

Tarkowski is from Manchester and may be tempted by a return to the North West.
