With talkSPORT’s live blog, you can stay up to date on all the latest Premier League and international news, transfer speculations, and gossip.

Rumour has it that Mahmoud Dahoud from Brighton is being pursued by German team Stuttgart.

Due to his lack of playing time under Roberto de Zerbi, the former midfielder for Borussia Dortmund is reportedly open to returning to the Bundesliga barely seven months after joining the English team.

The 28-year-old has made 14 appearances for the Seagulls this season, but only six of those have been starts in the Premier League. In their previous six league games, he has either been benched or left out of the matchday squad entirely.

Dahoud just signed a free contract with Brighton in the summer after his Dortmund contract expired.

However, according to German football reporter Patrick Berger, Stuttgart sports director Fabian Wohlgemuth is currently in negotiations with the agent of the central midfield player regarding a loan deal with a buyout option.

Acceptance of bid

According to talkSPORT, West Ham has agreed to accept a £15 million bid from Lyon for Said Benrahma.

In anticipation of a late transfer, the Algerian attacker is currently debating personal terms with the Ligue 1 team.

It’s said that the Hammers are eager to sign Jota, a former Celtic forward who plays for Al Ittihad in the Saudi Pro League.

Benrahma’s sale could aid West Ham in funding the transaction, as manager David Moyes is eager to update his attacking lineup.

Should you have missed it.

It looks like Adam Wharton will soon be moving from Blackburn Rovers to Crystal Palace.

With a medical scheduled for this Wednesday, the 19-year-old will have a £22 million agreement agreed upon with the Premier League team.

Although a number of Premier League teams had their eye on the talented young midfield player, Palace was the only team to make a serious move this month.

Wharton joined Blackburn’s senior squad after progressing through the academy and has made 51 appearances.
