Manchester United have agreed a deal to sell Morgan Schneiderlin to Everton for a £22m fee that could rise to £24m with add-ons, and the Toffees are not yet done with their interest in Jose Mourinho’s squad.

Mourinho confirmed that he would not stand in Schneiderlin’s way if a move became available in the January transfer window, given that the France international is out of favour after making just three Premier League appearances this season.

United were not willing to let Schneiderlin leave for a reduced fee though, and after prolonged talks with Everton, the two clubs have agreed a fee that could rise to as much as £24m for the 27-year-old.

But that may not be the end of Everton’s dealing with United this month. The Toffees remain determined to sign the Netherlands winger on a loan deal until the end of the season with a view to a permanent move, but United want to sell him for good this month if he is to leave Old Trafford and are holding out for a £15m offer for the former PSV Eindhoven star.

Depay is another who has seen very little game time this season, having made one more Premier League appearance this season than Schneiderlin, and he has not been seen in the first team since the final week of November after slipping down the pecking order.

Away from Manchester, Arsenal captain Per Mertesacker may be allowed to leave the club on loan until the end of the season after seeing his German compatriot, Shkodran Mustafi, take his place in Arsene Wenger’s starting line-up. According to The Times, Mertesacker will be allowed to leave on a short-term deal in an effort to prove he deserves a new contract, with his current deal up at the end of the season.

Arsenal's potential January transfers Show all 10 1 /10 Arsenal's potential January transfers Arsenal's potential January transfers In: Miralem Pjanic The Bosnian attacking-midfielder is a dead ball specialist but it remains to be seen whether Arsenal really need him. One thing that Arsenal do not lack is creativity. Needless to say though, Pjanic is a wonderful player and one that would complement this team. Reports suggest that Arsene Wenger has already lodged a £28m bid. Arsenal's potential January transfers In: Ricardo Rodriguez The Wolfsburg left-back has been regarded as one of the most promising full-backs of his generation and it’s a position that Arsenal particularly struggle in. The Swiss international, like Pjanic, excels in dead ball situations but they will face stiff competition from Europe’s elite to secure his services. Arsenal's potential January transfers In: Steven N'Zonzi Arsenal have struggled in recent years to get a player nailed down in that defensive midfield position to give security to the defence. The former Stoke City man has been in dazzling form of late and Arsenal are reportedly looking to bring him back to the Premier League for a reported £20m. Arsenal's potential January transfers In: Chris Smalling This deal could be a realistic one, especially if Manchester United sign another defender like long-term target Victor Lindelof. In a season plagued by injury, Smalling could be deemed surplus to requirements if United do end up signing the Swede, and he’d be a good fit in that Arsenal back-line. Though, it is unknown whether Wenger will want to sign another centre-back after shelling out £35m in the summer for Shkodran Mustafi. Arsenal's potential January transfers In: Dimitri Payet The Frenchman was one of the players of the season in the Premeir League last term, but his form has dipped dramatically this season. Despite this, everyone knows his qualities and he’d be a good fit in the Gunners side. West Ham won’t be letting him go on the cheap though. Arsenal's potential January transfers In: Alexandre Lacazette It seems as though the Lyon striker is linked with London club at every opportunity, but it never materialises. There is still a possibility that he could be making his way across the English Channel however after he said that he will be considering his options before the season is done. He could be the signing that Arsenal need. Arsenal's potential January transfers In: Moussa Dembele Since signing from Fulham in the summer, the Celtic frontman has struck nine times in 20 matches and has also grabbed five assists. If Wenger brought him to the Emirates it’d be hard to believe that he’d get in the team immediately but could be a good deal for the future. Arsenal's potential January transfers Out: Alexis Sanchez Arsenal’s main man has been in superb form this season and potential suitors are swarming from all over Europe to try and prise him away. Juventus have been heavily linked with the Chilean and have the money to bring him back to Serie A. Arsenal's potential January transfers Out: Chuba Akpom Struggling to break in to the Arsenal setup, it looks increasingly likely that Akpom will be loaned out with Ipswich reportedly waiting in the wings. If the Nigerian was to depart on loan this transfer window, it’d be his fourth loan move in just two years. Arsenal's potential January transfers Out: Carl Jenkinson The young full-back is out-of-favour with the French boss and West Ham could be looking to re-sign the young Englishman on loan for the third time. His second stint with the Hammers was cut short due to a cruciate ligament injury.

Mertesacker has not played this season after suffering a knee injury in a pre-season friendly, and his recovery was hit by a setback last month when he picked up a calf problem that has delayed his return. The report claims that if he cannot prove his fitness by the end of January – when Arsenal will have to submit their Champions League squad for the rest of the season – they will allow him to leave the club, but would prefer he moves back to Germany rather than join another Premier League club given the embarrassment that has surrounded Jack Wilshere’s move to Bournemouth.

Liverpool are ready to let defender Mamadou Sakho leave the club after being exiled from the first-team squad by manager Jürgen Klopp, and have placed a valuation of at least £20m on the France international.

However, The Times reports that Sakho is looking to leave Anfield on loan in the next 48 hours and that Southampton – Liverpool’s EFL Cup semi-final opponents – are the most likely destination, given that captain Jose Fonte is currently unavailable after manager Claude Puel dropped him indefinitely due to his transfer request.

Over in France, Paris Saint-Germain could trigger a bidding war after it was reported that the reigning Ligue 1 champions are willing to let both Jese and Grzegorz Krychowiak leave this month, despite only signing the pair in the summer.

Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester City and West Ham are all being linked with the PSG pair, according to The Sun, and the news calls into question the £55m spent by the Parisians in the summer. Liverpool were interested in Jese before he left Real Madrid in a £21m move, while former Sevilla midfielder Krychoiak’s ability to cover the defence as well as midfield could see him appeal to sides looking to strengthen their back line this month.
