Transfer speculation is intensifying just days into the Premier League transfer window as clubs draw up plans for the second half of the season.

The future of Sadio Mane, who dropped to the bench for Southampton's trip to Norwich on Saturday as punishment for arriving late to a team meeting, continues to dominate the back pages.

The Saints man has been linked with a move to both Manchester United and Chelsea in January and reports today suggest he will not sign a new deal at St. Mary's in a bid to force through his exit at St. Mary's.

Meanwhile, Arsenal's anticipated signing of Mohamed Elneny looks set to be the start of a busy month for the Gunners; and Crystal Palace boss Alan Pardew is already busy trying to reinforce his injury-hit squad.

When does the transfer window close across Europe? Scroll over the map above to find out.

Elsewhere, Real Madrid's decision to relieve manager Rafael Benitez of his duties and install club legend Zinedine Zidane as the Spaniard's successor could have repurcussions in the Premier League.
