Odsonne Edouard and Crystal Palace could be a perfect match
Crystal Palace left it late to get the new centre forward they had targeted all summer but their £15m signing of Odsonne Edouard certainly ticked a box. The highly-rated Frenchman won’t just give Patrick Vieira’s side cutting edge, his addition could be the final part of the restoration of the Eagles as an attacking force.

It is the final day of the 2019 January transfer window and silence has fallen on Leeds. There is a hushed tone across the city as the night deepens, the sky a haunting jet black. Inside the club’s training complex, there could be no greater contrast.

Harry Kane’s attempts to leave Spurs were incredibly shortsighted and shed new light on his character. Whichever way it can be spun, it was far from exemplary behaviour for the captain of the national team and an apparent beacon of professionalism.

Could Harry Kane join Man City in a swap deal next summer?
Swap deals are rare in the Premier League. The 2018 move that saw Alexis Sanchez leave Arsenal for Manchester United and Henrikh Mkhitaryan go the other way was very unusual and it also acts as a cautionary tale, with no parties happy with the end result of that transfer.
