Transfer news and rumours: Willian back to Premier League, Cundle to Millwall
Willian is reportedly prepared for a move back to the Premier League during the winter transfer window.
The 36-year-old was most recently in England's top flight at Fulham, where he helped Marco Silva's men establish themselves as part of the furniture in the division.
Willian was offered a new deal at Craven Cottage at the conclusion of last term, but instead opted to join Olympiacos on a deal for the 2024-25 campaign.
The Brazilian struggled to settle properly in Athens and has since terminated his contract with the Greek giants, meaning that he is on the market once again.

Wolves ready to edge out Spurs for American midfielder?
Wolverhampton Wanderers have allegedly identified Real Betis midfielder Johnny Cardoso as a January transfer target.
The West Midlands outfit are eager to add a new central midfielder to their ranks before the February 3 deadline, Manu Silva having previously been in line to move to Molineux.
However, the Vitoria de Guimaraes player instead decided to sign for Benfica, leaving Wolves to re-enter the market for a fresh face for the engine room.
With Mario Lemina pushing for a transfer elsewhere, it feels imperative that Wolves make a statement addition in that area as they bid to move away from the Premier League relegation zone.

"We pay attention": Maresca hints Chelsea assessing January transfer possibilities
Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca has acknowledged that the Blues are 'paying attention' to any opportunities that may materialise during the January transfer market.
Despite widespread speculation regarding potential signings, Chelsea's solitary piece of business since the turn of the year is recalling Trevoh Chalobah from his loan stint at Crystal Palace.
The likes of Renato Veiga and Cesare Casadei are expected to depart in due course, both players eager to secure regular football after playing backup roles since the middle of August.
Although Chelsea have been linked with a potential replacement for the latter, Maresca has suggested that acquiring a new midfielder is not on his radar.

Maresca delivers Chelsea injury update, reveals January midfielder plans
Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca has delivered a mixed injury update ahead of Saturday's Premier League fixture at Manchester City.
Earlier this week, the Blues recorded a 3-1 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers without the likes of Levi Colwill, Romeo Lavia and Enzo Fernandez at their disposal.
Although it was revealed by Maresca that Lavia faced time on the sidelines, it was unclear at the time whether Colwill and Fernandez would come back into contention for the trip to the Etihad Stadium.
Speaking to reporters at a press conference on Friday morning, Maresca has suggested that he expects to have the pair in his squad for the showdown with Pep Guardiola's side.

Back in the pack? Arsenal could receive double boost for Wolves clash
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has refused to rule either William Saliba or Myles Lewis-Skelly out of contention for Saturday's Premier League meeting with Wolverhampton Wanderers.
The pair were both absent from Wednesday's 3-0 Champions League success over Dinamo Zagreb, while Saliba was also unavailable for the 2-2 top-flight draw with Aston Villa last weekend.
The Frenchman was revealed to have been suffering from hamstring tightness after the North London derby, and it was initially reported that he could spend up to two weeks on the sidelines.
Meanwhile, Lewis-Skelly missed the recent European battle after jarring his knee in the meeting with Villa, and the teenage defender was sent for scans earlier this week to determine the severity of his concern.

Following in Obi Martin's footsteps? Man United 'lead Barcelona in race' for Arsenal wonderkid
Manchester United have reportedly been in touch with Arsenal to register their interest in Ayden Heaven.
The London-born defender started his youth career with West Ham United at the age of eight, before making the move to Arsenal, and he signed scholarship terms with the Gunners in the summer of 2023.
Heaven is highly-rated at the Emirates Stadium, with the teenager training with the first-team squad during the 2023-24 campaign and again last summer, before making his first-team debut against Preston North End in the EFL Cup last October.
The defender has also been on the Arsenal bench on three occasions in the Premier League this season, including against Man United last month, but there is currently uncertainty when it comes to his future.

Deco's influence: Barcelona announce new contract for vital player
Barcelona have announced that Ronald Araujo has signed a new contract until June 2031, officially ending the speculation surrounding the central defender's future.
The Uruguay international's previous deal with the Catalan giants had been due to expire in June 2026, and Juventus are believed to have made at least one offer for him during the January transfer window.
Arsenal, Manchester United and Bayern Munich are also said to be long-term admirers of the South American, with all three said to have been keeping a close eye on his situation at Camp Nou.
However, Barcelona's director of sport Deco is believed to have played a major role in convincing Araujo to sign a new deal, and the defender is now contracted to the La Liga team until the end of the 2030-31 campaign.

Garnacho and PSR: Will Man United star make shock switch to Chelsea?
Manchester United have admitted that they are at risk of breaching spending rules in a letter to fan groups, which could lead to a further increase in ticket prices and the departure of academy products.
The Premier League's Profit and Sustainability rules allow clubs to make losses up to £105m over three years.
Man United faced huge criticism when they recently decided to increase ticket prices to £66 per match, including for children, while there have been various cuts in the workforce since Sir Jim Ratcliffe's arrival as a minority shareholder.
The 20-time English champions have admitted that "difficult choices" have to be made due to the fact that the club are at risk of breaching PSR rules.

'On the chopping block': Why Nunez faces Reds exit despite Brentford heroics
Darwin Nunez's exit from Liverpool looks sealed despite his heroics against Brentford last Saturday because he has too many flaws in his game, Reds expert David Lynch has argued.
The Premier League leaders seemed as if they would drop points when they played Brentford, but two goals from Nunez in second-half stoppage time secured Arne Slot a 2-0 victory, seeing his side extend their advantage over second-placed Arsenal to six points by the end of the weekend.
Nunez arrived at Anfield in the summer of 2022 from Benfica for a club-record fee of £85m, but despite showing promise in some areas, the Uruguayan has often been frustrating in front of goal.
When asked if Nunez's goals could see him given one last chance to salvage his Liverpool career, Lynch struggled to picture him staying at the club beyond this season when he told Sports Mole: "I can't see it. He hasn't dragged me back in just yet.
