Another day closer to the end of the transfer window and still we wait for significant action from anyone other than Manchester City, who have signed Wilfried Bony and appear to be about to say farewell to James Milner. Manchester United feature heavily today's rumours as they hunt a defender and try and keep hold of their goalkeeper, but there is more frustration for the Gunners:

• Arsenal can kiss goodbye their hopes of signing Palmero striker Paulo Dybala this month but the Italian club's president Mauro Zamparini has declared the 21-year-old might be on the move in the summer. Arsenal had been tipped to lure the Argentine hitman to the Emirates in January after Manchester United's attempt to land the South American sharpshooter failed. But the Daily Mirror reports that in an interview with Italian broadcaster Rai radio, Zamparini announced: "He will renew his deal and sign a three-year deal, and if he continues to play that well in the next six months then a big club from abroad will sign him. Where will he go? Abroad. In order I would say England, France, Germany and Spain, because the two big clubs in Spain [Real and Barca] already have a lot of forwards."
