January Transfer Window: Day 18

According to the Daily Mail, Manchester City will battle with Manchester United for the signing of highly-rated Sheffield United forward Diego De Girolamo. The 18 year-old, who is eligible to play for both England and Italy, has sparked a recent debate between the two countries after scoring 3 goals in 6 appearances for the Italian under 18 team. 

The Daily Star report that Southampton will demand a massive £30m fee for in demand left-back Luke Shaw. The 18 year-old has impressed with a series of stunning performances this season but is believed to favour a move to boyhood club Chelsea. Both Manchester City and Manchester United are interested.
