The Sun states: "Antoine Semenyo is set to play for Bournemouth against Arsenal this weekend – despite closing in on a move to their title rivals Manchester City.
"City are in advanced talks with Bournemouth and are ready to trigger the £65m release clause in Semenyo’s contract.
"But nothing has been signed yet and Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola has confirmed Semenyo, 25, will play against Arsenal on Saturday.
"The release clause in Semenyo’s contract runs until January 10 and Bournemouth want to keep him right up until the deadline."
Charlotte FC keen on Elliott
Liverpool forward Harvey Elliott has struggled to break through in his loan spell at Aston Villa and could be set for a move elsewhere.
MLS outfit Charlotte FC are now linked with an offer for the 22-year-old, and he could be tempted Stateside.
The Mirror explains: "MLS side Charlotte FC are ready to offer Harvey Elliott an escape from his Aston Villa loan nightmare as they make moves to bring the England U21 star across the Atlantic.
"The 22-year-old was the star of the tournament as England won the U21 Euros in the summer, which saw him linked with a Liverpool exit. Eventually, Villa came in late in the day and landed Elliott on loan, but he's barely featured and doesn't look to be in favour under Unai Emery.
"It means there is already talk of Elliott leaving the Midlands and Charlotte FC, led by Dean Smith, are keen on landing the 22-year-old. Having featured for Liverpool and Villa this term, the playmaker cannot play for another team this season in Europe.
"Elliott's preference was to remain in the Premier League, but with that looking unlikely, he is considering the positives on offer in the USA. With the World Cup coming this summer, he understands his arrival could generate plenty of attention."
West Ham set for busy January
West Ham United are keen to sign Lazio’s Taty Castellanos, according to the Daily Mail, with more additions possible.
Adama Traore of Fulham is a potential option, though it appears Raheem Sterling would not be keen on a loan move.
The paper writes: "West Ham are in talks to add Lazio forward Taty Castellanos for ÂŁ25m on the back of agreeing to sign Gil Vicente striker Pablo Felipe for ÂŁ21m.
"The Hammers made their move for Castellanos after being quoted ÂŁ40m for Wolves' Jorgen Strand Larsen and discovering Crystal Palace's Eddie Nketiah had picked up a hamstring injury.Â
"West Ham also remain in discussions to sign Fulham winger Adama Traore on a short-term deal and have discussed a loan for Chelsea's Raheem Sterling, but the 31-year-old only wants a permanent move.
"Brazilian Pablo Felipe arrived for his medical on Thursday ahead of completing his move from Gil Vicente, while West Ham hope to offset their outlay by selling Luis Guillerme to Sporting Lisbon for ÂŁ17.5m. The 19-year-old is due in Portugal for a medical."
Kalimuendo poised for Forest exit
Nottingham Forest’s Arnaud Kalimuendo is reportedly close to joining Eintracht Frankfurt on loan.
The Athletic believes that there will probably be an option to make the transfer permanent included in the deal.
The website states: "Eintracht Frankfurt are confident of signing Nottingham Forest’s Arnaud Kalimuendo on loan.
"The 23-year-old, who only joined Forest last August, will move to Deutsche Bank Park for the rest of the season, with Frankfurt having the option to make the move permanent.
"Kalimuendo was part of a flurry of attacking additions in the space of a few days in mid-August, when Forest spent in excess of ÂŁ90m ($121m) on three new signings, with attacking midfielder James McAtee (ÂŁ30m) arriving from Man City and winger Omari Hutchinson (ÂŁ37.5m) from Ipswich, in addition to Kalimuendo."
