The January transfer window may be closed around Europe, but teams are looking ahead to the summer and there’s plenty of gossip swirling around. Transfer Talk brings you all the latest buzz on rumours, comings, goings and, of course, done deals!

Leverkusen are having a poor season and sit in 11th place in the Bundesliga, which makes their chances of qualifying for the Champions League unlikely. Frimpong wants to play at Europe’s top table, and United boss Erik ten Haag is thought to be a keen admirer of his compatriot.
Newcastle United are also interested in signing the marauding right-back.
