FC Sevilla seal Mbia loan switch

QPR midfielder Stephane Mbia has moved to FC Sevilla on a season-long loan deal.

Mbia joined QPR from Olympique Marseille at the start of last season as part of the deal that saw Joey Barton go in the opposite direction on loan.

The Cameroon international, 27-year-old, was part of the QPR side that finished bottom of the Premier League last term but has not featured in the Championship for Harry Redknapp's side this season.

FC Sevilla have taken one point from their opening 2 games of the new La Liga campaign, but enjoyed a 4-1 Europa League success over Slask Wroclaw on Thursday.

Laudrup set to move for Odemwingie

Michael Laudrup has admitted he is interested in a move for West Bromwich striker Peter Odemwingie.

The Dane is keen to provide competition for close-season signing Wilfried Bony up-front after releasing Luke Moore and telling Leroy Lita he is free to find a new club.

And Odemwingie could fit the bill, with the Nigeria international not featuring in Steve Clarke's matchday squad for West Bromwich's first 2 Premier League fixtures.

Odemwingie has been frozen out of the first team picture at The Hawthorns after angling for a move to QPR in January.

He moved to West Bromwich from Lokomotiv Moscow in August 2010.

Tottenham agree Lamela deal

AS Roma have agreed to sell attacker Erik Lamela to Tottenham Hotspur for an initial fee of €30 million.

Lamela, who joined AS Roma from River Plate in 2011, is poised to become Tottenham's fifth signing of the transfer window joining Etienne Capoue, Roberto Soldado, Nacer Chadli and Paulinho at White Hart Lane.

The Argentina international's arrival is likely to help fill the void left by Gareth Bale, who manager Andre Villas-Boas confirmed on Wednesday is close to completing a world-record switch to Real Madrid.

The 21-year-old enjoyed an excellent season with the Italian capital club last season, scoring 15 goals in 36 appearances as Roma finished 6th in Serie A, failing to qualify for Europa as they were also beaten in the Coppa Italia Final by rivals Lazio.

He will now attempt to produce similar form this season for Spurs, who have agreed to pay an extra €5 million if Lamela meets certain contractual objectives.

Aogo joins Schalke on loan

Schalke have confirmed the signing of Dennis Aogo from SV Hamburg on a season-long loan.

The 26-year-old Germany international can operate in both defence and midfield.

Aogo joins a Schalke side who secured their progression to the Champions League group stages on Tuesday, and he stated his desire to feature in the prestigious competition.

While Schalke have qualified for the group stages of the Champions League, Keller's side have not won a game in the Bundesliga so far and sit in 15th place.

Freiburg sign Darida

SC Freiburg have completed the signing of 23-year-old Czech Republic international Vladimir Darida from Viktoria Plzen.

The versatile midfielder, who came through the club's youth setup, joins from the Czech champions having played in both the Europa League and Champions League while at Struncovy Sady Stadion.

Darida joins a Freiburg side struggling in the Bundesliga, with Christian Streich's men in 14th place and without a win.

However, they gained a creditable 1-1 draw with defending champions Bayern Munchen at Mage Solar Stadion on Tuesday.

Gargano completes Parma loan switch

Napoli midfielder Walter Gargano has joined Parma on loan with the option of a permanent move to the Ennio Tardini.

The 29-year-old spent last season on loan at Inter, making 28 Serie A appearances, and has reportedly been monitored by the likes of Cagliari, Sunderland and Fulham in recent weeks.

Gargano, capped 47 times for Uruguay, joined Napoli in 2007 from Danubio and helped the club to win the 2011/2012 Coppa Italia.

He played 199 games for Napoli and will now continue his Serie A career at Parma.

Gargano was initially linked with Parma at the start of last month after Inter opted not to offer him a prolonged stay at Meazza despite the player admitting an interest in remaining in Milano.

Aston Villa sign Kozak

Aston Villa have completed the signing of Lazio striker Libor Kozak on a 4-year deal.

The Czech Republic international attracted Villa manager Paul Lambert's attention with an impressive return of 11 goals in 18 Europa League games.

Despite failing to find the target in Serie A last term, Lambert is confident that Kozak will help to ease the side's reliance on Christian Benteke, who netted 19 Premier League goals last term as Villa flirted with relegation.

Nurnberg complete Hasebe signing

FC Nurnberg have completed the signing of Makoto Hasebe from Bundesliga rivals VfL Wolfsburg.

The Japan international moves to the Grundig Stadion on a 3-year contract, having been at Wolfsburg for 5 years following his switch from Urawa Red Diamonds.

Hasebe made 134 appearances during his time at Wolfsburg, scoring 5 goals as well as helping his side to the Bundesliga title in 2009.

Hasebe has featured once in the Bundesliga this season, replacing Ivica Olic in Wolfsburg's 2-0 defeat to Mainz.

Sakho completes Liverpool switch

Mamadou Sakho has become the second player to join Liverpool on transfer deadline day after completing his move from Paris Saint-Germain.

The France international has penned a long-term deal at Anfield and provides further defensive options for Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers - who also signed Tiago Ilori earlier on Monday.

The 23-year-old came through the youth system at PSG in 2007 and made 201 appearances during his career in the French capital.

He picked up a Ligue 1 winners medal last season but the lure of securing Champions League football with Liverpool has attracted him to the Premier League.

Borini & Dossena move to Sunderland

Liverpool forward Fabio Borini has completed a season-long loan move to Sunderland with Andrea Dossena also arriving from Napoli.

The Italian striker moved to Anfield from AS Roma in July 2012, but scored just twice in 20 appearances as his season was hampered by a broken foot and dislocated shoulder.

Borini and Dossena are Sunderland's 12th and 13th signings of the window with the former the second frontline striker to link up with Paolo Di Canio's side after the arrival of United States international Jozy Altidore.

Dossena has signed a one-year deal at the Stadium of Light and also has previous Premier League experience at Liverpool.

The left-back made 26 appearances in all competitions last season but could not do enough to convince Rafael Benitez, the man who signed him for Liverpool, of his first-team qualities at Napoli.

Sunderland have begun their season in shaky form, failing to win a game from their opening 3 fixtures and picking up just 1 point, at Southampton and sit 19th.

Di Canio will also have to make do without Stephane Sessegnon, with the Benin international completing a move to West Bromwich.

Atletico Madrid capture Alderweireld

Atletico Madrid have announced the signing of centre-back Toby Alderweireld from Ajax on a 4-year deal.

The Belgian defender had been long linked with a departure from the reigning Eredivisie champions and, despite reported interest from the Premier League, he has now moved to Spain.

Alderweireld joined Ajax's academy from Germinal Beerschot in 2004 and went on to make his first team debut in January 2009.

He has since made over 100 league appearances for the Dutch club, winning 3 Eredivisie titles and one KNVB Cup under the tutelage of Frank de Boer.

The 24-year-old has also been a regular fixture in the Belgian national team since making his debut at senior evel against the Czech Republic in 2009.

Atletico Madrid, who finished third in the Spanish top flight last season, also announced the signing of French midfielder Josuha Guilavogui from Saint-Etienne on Monday.

Arsenal secure Ozil signing

Arsenal have confirmed the signing of Mesut Ozil from Real Madrid on a long-term contact.

The Germany international has reportedly cost the Premier League club over £40 million, smashing their previous record for a transfer - the £15 million signing of Andrey Arshavin in February 2009.

Arsenal have been repeatedly frustrated in the transfer window, seeing moves for Luis Suarez, Gonzalo Higuain and Jesus Navas fail - but Arsene Wenger has finally bolstered his attacking ranks.

Ozil's arrival adds to 3 other additions in the window - Yaya Sanogo from Auxerre and Mathieu Flamini returning to the Emirates Stadium from AC Milan, while Italy international goalkeeper Emiliano Viviano joined earlier on deadline day.

Ozil featured in Madrid's first 2 games of the season, but was visibly unhappy at being substituted in last Monday's 1-0 win over Granada - reportedly going on to spend the rest of the game on the team bus rather than watch his team-mates.

Carlo Ancelotti also revealed Ozil was unhappy at the club after looking on from the bench as they cruised to a 3-1 win over Athletic Bilbao on Sunday.

And Gareth Bale's world-record arrival at Santiago Bernabeu left Ozil's chances of regular football in the balance.

The 24-year-old made 159 appearances for Madrid since joining from Werder Bremen in 2010, scoring 27 goals and racking up an impressive 81 assists.

Ozil rose through the ranks at Schalke, before joining Bremen in 2008 registering a superb 15 goals and 49 assists in 87 games at Weserstadion.

Dempsey completes Fulham loan return

Fulham have re-signed midfielder Clint Dempsey on a 2-month loan deal from MLS side Seattle Sounders.

The United States international midfielder made over 200 appearances for the Craven Cottage outfit in a 5-year spell at the Premier League club before leaving for London rivals Tottenham Hotspur.

A short spell at White Hart Lane ended when he completed a move to the Sounders in August but the 30-year-old is now back in English football as he bids to help Rene Meulensteen's men climb away from the relegation zone.

Fulham confirmed the move in a statement on their official website on Tuesday and the club's 2-time fans' Player of the Year is delighted to be back.

"It feels good to be back", Dempsey said.

"This has always felt like my home in Europe and I'm just excited to be back and be a part of this team and play in this league."

Alonso to join Sunderland

Sunderland have agreed a deal to sign Fiorentina defender Marcos Alonso on loan for the rest of the season.

Poyet revealed on Monday that the former Bolton Wanderers left-back will return to the Premier League on a 6-month deal when the transfer window opens on Wednesday after failing to establish himself in the Fiorentina starting line-up.

Alonso joined the Florence club from Bolton in May, but has made only 3 Serie A appearances for Vincenzo Montella's side.

The Spaniard started his career at Real Madrid before moving to Bolton in July 2010 and made 9 Premier League appearances for the Lancashire club before they were relegated to the Championship.

Poyet also confirmed that his first January recruit will be available for the FA Cup third round clash with Carlisle United on Sunday.

Sunderland are bottom of the Premier League, but the Wearside outfit are unbeaten in their last 5 games in all competitions ahead of their crunch clash with fellow strugglers Aston Villa on New Year's Day.

Allardyce confirms Heitinga deal

Everton defender John Heitinga has been allowed a move to Premier League rivals West Ham, Sam Allardyce has revealed.

The Netherlands international has not featured in the top flight this season and is reportedly keen to leave Goodison Park in order to boost his chances of featuring at the 2014 FIFA World Cup.

Allardyce confirmed Roberto Martinez has agreed to let the 30-year-old move to Upton Park, with personal terms only standing between a deal being completed.

A spate of injuries has left West Ham heading into 2014 with no fit centre-backs. They ended Saturday's 3-3 draw with West Bromwich with a defensive comprised of 4 full-backs, George McCartney and Guy Demel moving centrally.

Atletico Madrid confirm Sosa deal

Atletico Madrid have confirmed the signing of Metalist Kharkiv midfielder Jose Sosa on a 6-month loan deal.

Sosa, who has played for Bayern Munchen and Napoli during his career, has spent the last 3 years at Metalist, and was the Ukrainian club's captain.

But the 28-year-old wanted to head back to Europe's major leagues in an attempt to make Argentina's World Cup squad.

He made 7 appearances in his country's qualification for the 2014 tournament in Brazil but has not played in the Champions League this season and will boost Diego Simeone's squad for the round of 16 tie against AC Milan.

PAOK sign Maduro

Hedwiges Maduro has left FC Sevilla to sign a 2-and-a-half-year contract with PAOK.

The versatile Dutchman, who has won 22 caps for his country and appeared at the 2006 World Cup, has been frozen out at FC Sevilla this season under coach Unai Emery.

Maduro started his career with Ajax, where he twice won the KNVB Cup, and joined FC Sevilla following a spell at Valencia that included a Copa del Rey triumph.

The 28-year-old is primarily a defensive midfielder but can also play centre-back.

He joins a PAOK outfit managed by compatriot Huub Stevens, who has guided them to second in the Greek Super League after 18 matches.

Hoarau aims to kick-start career at Bordeaux

Guillaume Hoarau has resolved to kick-start his career after signing for Girondins Bordeaux on a free following his departure from Dalian Aerbin.

The 29-year-old striker had been with the Chinese club since January 2013, having previously played for Bordeaux's Ligue 1 rivals Paris Saint-Germain.

And Hoarau, who scored his first Ligue 1 goal for PSG against Girondins Bordeaux at Parc des Princes, stressed his eagerness to get started at his new club.

"I haven't played for a little while now, but the desire and the passion are still as strong as ever", he told the club's official website.

Bordeaux currently sit 4th in the French top flight, 13 points adrift of Hoarau's former club and Ligue 1 leaders PSG.

Schalke agree Sam deal

Schalke have agreed a €2.5 million deal to sign Bayer Leverkusen attacker Sidney Sam at the end of the season.

Sam, 25-year-old, is in the midst of a sterling campaign for Leverkusen, scoring 11 goals in 19 appearances in all competitions.

However, Sami Hyypia's men are set to lose the Germany international, with Schalke taking advantage of a buy-out clause in Sam's contract to get him on the cheap.

The former SV Hamburg man has signed a 4-year contract with Schalke, which will keep him at the Veltins Arena until 2018.

Sam features as part of an exciting attacking trio at Leverkusen that also boasts Stefan Kiessling and Son Heung-Min.

And he is poised to join another highly talented side, linking up with the likes of Julian Draxler, Kevin-Prince Boateng and Klaas-Jan Huntelaar in Gelsenkirchen.

McGeady arrival delights Martinez

Roberto Martinez is eager to work with Aiden McGeady after the winger completed a move from Spartak Moscow on Saturday.

The Republic of Ireland international has penned a 4-and-a-half-year deal at Goodison Park after an agreed Bosman move at the end of the campaign was brought forward.

Nikica Jelavic's impending sale to Hull City funded the move, with Martinez confirming he is happy for the striker to leave as he seeks a place in Croatia's World Cup squad.

"Full credit to the chairman and the board", Martinez beamed.

"We were talking with Aiden about next season and agreed for him to come at the end of the season."

"Then, because of his situation in Spartak, that obviously he wasn't going to be involved too much and the situation with Jelavic agreeing terms with Hull, we were quite happy to make it happen now."

De Bruyne signs for Wolfsburg

VfL Wolfsburg have confirmed the signing of attacking midfielder Kevin De Bruyne from Chelsea.

De Bruyne moves to Volkswagen Arena on a deal until 2019 following a 2-year spell at Chelsea in which he failed to break into the first tream.

The Belgium international, signed by Chelsea in January 2012, was immediately loaned back to Genk upon his arrival at Stamford Bridge.

The 22-year-old spent last season on loan at Werder Bremen, scoring 10 goals in 34 appearances during his time at Weserstadion.

However, De Bruyne has played just 9 times for Chelsea under Jose Mourinho this season, and will hope to secure a regular place in Wolfsburg's starting XI ahead of the World Cup in June.

De Bruyne could make his debut for Wolfsburg in a home game against Hannover next Saturday.

Hamburg sign John on loan

SV Hamburg have signed winger Ola John on loan from Benfica until the end of the season.

John, 21-year-old, moves to Imtech Arena after falling out of favour with Benfica, making just 8 appearances for the Lisbon club this term.

The switch sees the former FC Twente man reunite with SV Hamburg coach Bert van Marwijk, who worked with John during his time in charge of the Holland national side.

Hamburg were dealt a huge blow last week with the news that forward Maximilian Beister will miss the rest of the campaign with a knee ligament injury.

Van Marwijk is confident that John will be able to fill the void left by the 23-year-old and boost a Hamburg side that sits 14th in Bundesliga.

John could make his debut for Hamburg when Van Marwijk's side host Schalke on 26 January.

Anderson completes Fiorentina loan switch

Fiorentina have confirmed the loan signing of Manchester United midfielder Anderson.

The 25-year-old Brazilian, who arrived at Old Trafford from FC Porto in 2007, is understood to have joined the Serie A outfit until the end of the current campaign.

David Moyes had confirmed Anderson's imminent exit from the English champions on Friday, outlining the Brazilian's need for regular first team action.

Having been plagued by injuries during his time in England, Anderson, who boasts 8 caps for Brazil, has been restricted to just 4 Premier League appearances so far this season.

Anderson will hope the switch will reinvigorate his international career ahead of the World Cup that begins later this year in his home country.

AS Roma sign Bastos on loan

AS Roma have signed Brazilian winger Michel Bastos on loan for the rest of the season, with an option to purchase him permanently from Al Ain.

Bastos, 30-year-old, moves to the Italian capital club following after just 5 months with Al Ain, who he joined in August after Bundesliga side Schalke elected not to sign the Brazilian to a permanent deal following a loan spell at Veltins Arena.

And the ex-Feyenoord and Olympique Lyon man will hope to resurrect his career in Serie A as he reunites with former coach Rudi Garcia.

Garcia worked with Bastos during the winger's 3-year spell with Ligue 1 side Lille between 2006 and 2009, Bastos electing to leave for Olympique Lyon prior to his former club's 2010/2011 title-winning campaign.

Still, Bastos produced one of his finest seasons in the sole campaign he played under Garcia in 2008/2009, finding the net 16 times in 41 appearances.

Bastos, who can also operate at full-back becomes Roma's second signing of the January transfer window after Radja Nainggolan joined on loan from Cagliari with a view to a permanent transfer.
