Sports Mole rounds up all of the latest transfer news in the Premier League on Saturday, February 13.

Saturday morning's Premier League transfer talk news roundup:


Ole Gunnar Solskjaer confirms he is keeping tabs on Erling Braut Haaland

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has confirmed that he is "following" the progress of fellow Norwegian and Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Braut Haaland.

The 20-year-old has been heavily linked with a transfer to Old Trafford as well as to rivals Manchester City and Real Madrid, and the youngster has previously worked with Solskjaer during his time at Molde.

United are understood to be interested in a striker and the Red Devils boss has heaped praise on the Dortmund man, stating that he will have a "fantastic" career for club and country.

"Erling will have a fantastic career. I'm following Erling. I've always said that. Was it 18 months we had together or something? Almost two years, maybe. A wonderful time. He will definitely have a great career for both Norway and his club," Solskjaer told Norwegian outlet VG.

"He is doing incredibly well for Dortmund, so we'll see where he ends up. As a Norwegian and someone who has worked with him, it is of course fun that he does so well.

"We will do what we can to become a better team, then he will do what he can to become a better player. Where does he end up? I do not want to say anything other than that, that I wish him all the best. Which choice he makes may be up to him."

Haaland, who will have a release clause worth around £68m which becomes active in the summer of 2022, has scored 22 goals and provided six assists in just 22 appearances in all competitions so far this campaign.



Arsenal 'close to completing £20m deal for Tiago Tomas'

Arsenal are reportedly close to completing the signing of Sporting Lisbon striker Tiago Tomas for a deal worth around £20m.

The 18-year-old has broken in the first team with the Portuguese giants this season and has played regularly for a side currently unbeaten and at the top of the Primeira Liga table.

According to The Sun, sporting director Edu has been in direct contact with Sporting's director of football Hugo Viana over the deal to sign Tomas while scouting the forward during their match against Benfica, who the Gunners are to face in the Europa League next Thursday.

The youngster only recently signed a new contract in June 2020 which included a release clause worth £52m.

However, due to the current financial climate and Sporting's spending over the last few years, it is understood that the Portuguese club could accept a deal as low as £20m.

Edu has also stated to the Arsenal hierarchy that he believes the club would regret missing out on such a talented player in Tomas, after former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger came close to signing Cristiano Ronaldo from Sporting before his move to Manchester United.

Tomas has made 25 appearances in all competitions so far this campaign, scoring five goals and providing three assists.
