Bolton Line Up January Double Swoop For Liverpool Starlets

Bolton Wanderers are hoping to take Liverpool duo Raheem Sterling and Jon Flanagan on-loan in the January transfer window.

Manager Owen Coyle is desperate for new recruits to salvage his team’s season after two wins all season has left his side second bottom.

Winger Sterling, 16, is one of the most highly-rated teenagers in England and Coyle insists he can help the teenager’s development in the same way he has done for Jack Wilshere and Daniel Sturridge.

The England U17 international is yet to make his first-team debut and following the Reds summer recruitment drive is unlikely to feature this season.

Defender Flanagan, 18, has made nine appearances for the Reds so far but as Glen Johnson and Martin Kelly are now fit his chances of any action is greatly reduced.

Coyle is in need of a right-back with major doubts arising over Paul Robinson and the injury to Tyrone Mears.

Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish is willing to let the youngsters go on-loan to give them first-team experience but this may change by the new year depending on injury and form of his current regulars.

Swansea To Talk To Chelsea Over McEachran Loan

Swansea manager Brendan Rodgers has confirmed his interest in Chelsea youngster Josh McEachran, should the Blues decide to make the midfielder available for loan.

Rodgers, who worked as youth and reserve team coach at Stamford Bridge under former manager Jose Mourinho, has been linked with returning to his former club for McEachran, 18, and while he has not held detailed discussions with Chelsea, he would be keen to bring McEachran to the Liberty Stadium in January.

Rodgers said: "I need to have a conversation at length [with Chelsea]. Josh is not playing at the moment, he is on the bench, although he played [against Everton] last night.

"He is a wonderful talent and the positive thing is that clubs see Swansea as a club that can develop such talents. He has a big future, he played in the same team as my son right through the system at Chelsea and has kicked on since he turned 14.

"He has got great vision, he is a terrific footballer and he needs to play in a certain system. I think Andre [Villas-Boas] and [sporting director] Michael Emenolo understand he will need to get some games and when that moment comes he is certainly a player who would do terrific here.''

But Rodgers does not believe Swansea would be favourites to seal a loan move for the England Under-21 international, despite his links with the club.

Redknapp Keen On Carlos Tevez Loan

Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp says he would not hesitate to sign Manchester City's Carlos Tevez if the club is willing to part with the wantaway striker.

Tevez has repeatedly insisted he is keen to leave Manchester citing family reasons, and appears frozen out of City boss Roberto Mancini's plans due to his conduct on the substitute's bench during last month's Champions League defeat at Bayern Munich.

With an investigation ongoing into his alleged misdemeanour, Tevez is unlikely to see any first-team action at City in the foreseeable future, and Redknapp would not hesitate to bring the Argentinian to White Hart Lane on a loan deal.

"I would take him if he were available for sure, warts and all. Who wouldn't?" Redknapp is quoted as saying in the English press.

"If Manchester City want to let me have him on loan and massively subsidize it, I'll take him tomorrow. Say what you like, but he's a world-class player and you can't say he doesn't work his socks off when he plays. When he gets on the field he's a right handful.

"It's all right people refusing to condone his behaviour but, to be honest, I'm only interested in what he does when he plays. And world-class players are in short supply."

Manchester United's Mame Biram Diouf Set For Cardiff Loan Move

Manchester United striker Mame Biram Diouf is set for a loan move to Championship side Cardiff after struggling for first team opportunities at Old Trafford this season according to the Mirror.

Diouf has struggled to make the breakthrough at Old Trafford since joining from Molde in 2009, despite scoring on his United debut.

The 23-year-old spent last season on loan at Premier League rivals Blackburn but failed to find the net regularly in his first full season in the Premier League.

Diouf has recently expressed his desire to leave Old Trafford on loan as he accepts his chances under Sir Alex Ferguson are going to be limited.

"It is not easy for me, but to be honest unless you are [Lionel] Messi or [Cristiano] Ronaldo you are not going to get in the attack of Manchester United," he told Sky Sports.

"Sometimes you have a winner of the Golden Ball [Owen] or last season's top scorer [Berbatov] not even on the bench, in the last game the striker substitutes were Rooney and Hernandez.

"I will keep on fighting and see, going on a loan to play regularly would benefit both parties."

Cardiff have asked about taking the striker on-loan though it is believed they will require Manchester United to pay half of his wages, believed to be around £14,000 per week.

Arsenal Agree To Bring Fiery Brazilian Back To The Emirates

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger looks set to welcome on-loan midfielder Denilson back to the club, with the 23-year-old’s spell at Sao Paulo on the verge of self-destructing.

Denilson started his career at Sao Paulo in 2005, emerging as a fringe player in side that won the Copa Libertadores and the FIFA Club World Cup. In the summer of 2006, Arsenal signed the youngster and handed him 96 appearances over five years at the Emirates.

However, with Denilson becoming an increasingly peripheral figure for Arsenal following the emergence of Jack Wilshere, Wenger loaned the promising youngster back to his former club for the 2010-11 season.

Since returning to Sao Paulo, the typically mild-mannered Brazilian has formed something of a ‘bad-boy’ image, following a spat with fans via social networking website Twitter and three red cards.

Denilson was sent off most recently in a 3-3 draw with Cruziero, creating further rifts between the player and a set of fans already at odds with the midfielder. Following fan protests about manager Adilson Batista, Denilson branded participants as “very, very annoying”.

Arsenal’s midfield currently looks a little lightweight, with the departures of Samir Nasri and Cesc Fabregas worsened by the long-term absence of Jack Wilshere. Denilson could be ready to make his return to the Gunners if the situation at Sao Paulo worsens, but certain Arsenal fans have reservations about the youngster returning to North London.

After agreeing the deal to return on-loan to Sao Paulo, Denilson labelled himself “a winner”, bemoaning the lack of trophies during his spell at Arsenal. With Arsenal finally looking to have found some stability, the return of Denilson may bring Wenger more problems than solutions.

Allardyce Hopeful On Tevez Loan Deal

West Ham manager Sam Allardyce feels he still has an "outside chance'' of bringing Carlos Tevez back to Upton Park.

Tevez returned to training at Manchester City on Thursday following his suspension for apparently refusing to go on as a substitute against Bayern Munich a fortnight ago.

The controversial striker's future at Eastlands remains uncertain, while West Ham has already had an initial enquiry about a possible loan move knocked back.

But Allardyce is monitoring the situation and has not given up hope of Tevez returning to the club he originally joined in 2006 along with fellow Argentinian Javier Mascherano.

When asked if there was any possibility of landing Tevez, Allardyce said: "The answer is I don't know. I suppose the situation, from my point of view, is just if and when the decision is finally made regarding what's happening with Carlos at Manchester City, then perhaps my co-chairman David Sullivan might want to pursue it.

"That would be with my blessing, obviously. [Sullivan] was the man who talked about it with me first and if we could get him back here, based on what he did here last time and if he did love the club as much as he did, and if it was a possibility, then I think it's an outside chance. We'll wait and see.''

Tevez was a huge favourite during his one season at West Ham, scoring seven goals including the strike which kept them up at Manchester United on the final day of the campaign.

He was named the club's player of the year and the first time he returned to Upton Park as a United player, he saluted the crowd by crossing his arms in a 'Hammers' gesture.
