The winter transfer window is now in full swing! As usual, Transfer Talk has its finger on the pulse when it comes to which rumours are picking up steam. Check out all the latest deals here.

TOP STORY: Toure turns down China for Prem stay

Yaya Toure wants to stay in the Premier League even if Manchester City do want to bring him back this summer, according to multiple reports that said the midfielder turned down an enormous contract from China.

The 33-year-old rebuffed interest from the Chinese Super League this summer and the Manchester Evening News and the BBC both reported on Tuesday that not even a fresh wage offer of £430,000 a week could not sway him to leave England.

That total would have netted Toure £22 million a year -- double what he reportedly makes at Man City.

Toure has worked his way back into the City squad in recent months, and manager Pep Guardiola said in December there would be time to discuss a possible return after his contract expires this summer.

But The Telegraph reports that Toure has a "strong preference" to find a new Premier League club if he is not wanted at City beyond this season.

07.30 GMT: Dimitri Payet's desired exit from West Ham remains some distance away after the club rejected an improved offer from Marseille on Monday, according to Press Association Sport.

PAPER TALK: Chelsea move for Traore, City 'will pay £100m to land Messi'

Things at Chelsea have been quiet so far -- apart, that is, from the ruckus over Diego Costa's possible exit. But they might be making a move soon, with Sky Sports reporting an approach for Middlesbrough winger Adama Traore.

The former Barcelona winger has impressed at Boro and could blossom into a superstar if he's not sent on loan repeatedly by the Blues. Watch this space.

Meanwhile, as long as there is uncertainty over Lionel Messi's contract situation at Barcelona, there will be suggestions that -- however unlikely it might seem -- he could move elsewhere.

Reports that he could link up with his old boss, Pep Guardiola, at Manchester City have surfaced more than a few times, and now The Sun claims City have told Barca they "will pay £100 million" to sign him.

Costa linked with Barca, Atletico

More about the future of Diego Costa now. Well, what else these days?

Since Costa was dropped from the Chelsea squad for the win at Leicester, reports have suggested he is ready to stay until the end of the season but will leave in the summer.

One potential destination is China. Another, according to the Independent, is Spain, where Barcelona and the striker's old club, Atletico Madrid, are waiting in the wings.

The Independent reports that both are interested, with Barcelona "monitoring the situation and having let that be known to the 28-year-old's camp."

But with Atletico thought to be increasingly likely to sell Antoine Griezmann to Manchester United in the summer, a Calderon return for Costa -- who was tipped to go back there last summer -- is on the cards for around £40 million.

Lyon fail in new approach for Depay

It seems to be a matter of when, not if, Memphis Depay leaves Manchester United -- but he isn't leaving yet, according to the Mail.

That's because although Lyon have submitted an improved offer for the Dutchman, their bid is still not good enough for United.

The Mail reports that the Ligue 1 club "proposed £13m plus add-ons after an opening £11m offer was dismissed last week."

United, though, "are holding out for at least £17.5m for the Netherlands international," whose signing has been described by Lyon coach Bruno Genesio as "a priority".

Meanwhile, United are monitoring Celtic defender Kieran Tierney, according to the Mirror. It says the 19-year-old left-back has been watched by United scouts and has also attracted interest from Arsenal.

Tap-ins

- It's clear what Watford's problem is at the moment -- they don't score enough goals, and the Mirror says they want to remedy that with a loan move for Fiorentina's Mauro Zarate.

Zarate had unsuccessful Premier League spells with Birmingham, West Ham and QPR, but Walter Mazzarri feels he can get the best from the forward and is close to agreeing on a deal to bring him to Vicarage Road until the end of the season.

-- Championship Birmingham are looking to pep up their attack after a run of disappointing results following the appointment of Gianfranco Zola and will turn to Swansea winger Wayne Routledge to do that, the Sun reports.

It says Birmingham will submit a bid of around £3 million for the winger, adding that he "is open to leaving the Premier League strugglers despite making 20 appearances this season."

- The Daily Mail has linked Manchester City with a summer move for a goalkeeper as pressure grows on Claudio Bravo and says Benfica's Ederson and Sunderland's Jordan Pickford are on the radar.
