The gears of the January transfer window are clicking into place and no doubt the next month will see a flurry of deals. 

January is always a tricky time for clubs to operate but the transfer departments at every club will be working overtime to strengthen. 

Reports in France have audaciously claimed that Liverpool is a possible destination for Kylian Mbappe, while Chelsea have reportedly held talks for a teenager star dubbed 'the next Antonio Rudiger' .

And with Man United deciding not to extend Raphael Varane's deal, the Italian press believe they have lined up his replacement. 

Below, Mail Sport takes a look at the transfer rumours on Tuesday morning.
