TRANSFER GOSSIP COLUMN: Manchester United and Newcastle want West Ham target Serhou Guirassy, Liverpool monitor France Under-21 star Leny Yoro and Napoli are interested in Chelsea outcast Trevoh Chalobah

Halfway through the January transfer window, clubs across Europe remain busy looking to improve their squads ahead of the second half of the season or to sell players who are surplus to requirements.

Stuttgart striker Serhou Guirassy is a man in demand after scoring 17 goals in 19 Bundesliga games this season, with West Ham, Manchester United and Newcastle all keen to land the Guinea international.

Somewhat more surprisingly, Anthony Martial has also attracted interest from a number of clubs, with the Frenchman keen to remain in Europe once his contract with United expires in the summer.
