Strange occurrences in Hamburg continue to capture attention. During the second weekend of January, Germany’s premier level of team chess unexpectedly attracted much attention.

– Tickets were oversold, and journalists rushed for credentials.

– Carlsen, the world’s top-ranked chess player, made his debut for St. Pauli’s chess team.

While St. Pauli’s football team is its most renowned, having gained promotion to the Bundesliga last season, their amateur chess team, which also earned promotion in 2024, is now competing at the sport’s highest level.

Carlsen’s first match helped them secure their first win of the season in their effort to avoid relegation.

Regarding Evan Ferguson, the question of whether to loan him out looms large.

Brighton & Hove Albion’s forward may be loaned to another Premier League club during this window. Head coach Fabian Hurzeler has left the possibility open. Brighton has previously loaned out promising young players to aid their development. The ideal loan destination would be a club with a similar playing style, focusing on intensity and possession, and one not in competition with Brighton, who aim for European qualification after finishing sixth in 2022-23.

The crowded upper half of the Premier League narrows down potential suitors, and West Ham is a likely candidate for Ferguson’s loan.

On the other hand, Trevoh Chalobah, who ended the summer in Chelsea’s ‘bomb squad’ and was loaned to Crystal Palace, has now returned after five months. Chelsea exercised a January recall clause, and Chalobah has received assurances that he will have a role in Enzo Maresca’s first team. Although his career at Chelsea has been a rollercoaster, this unexpected turn reflects the changing circumstances in Chelsea’s defense.

Liam Twomey reports the latest on Chalobah’s recall and its significance for both him and the club.

Aston Villa’s new signing, Donyell Malen, watched Villa’s 1-0 victory over Everton at Goodison Park, while sitting next to 18-year-old defender Yasin Ozcan, who is set to join Villa from Turkish club Kasimpasa for €7 million (£5.9m/$7.2m). Ozcan is viewed as a “project player.”

Top transfer rumors today:

– Liverpool reportedly eyeing a swap deal: Nunez + Chiesa for Napoli’s Kvaratskhelia.

– Arsenal has valued Rashford at £21M, with contact made with Manchester United.

– Marmoush set to join Manchester City from Frankfurt.

– Casemiro could be heading to the Saudi Pro League in January.

– Manchester United plans to bid £40M for Mbeumo, competing with Arsenal.

Villa is also considering young talent like 18-year-old Tidiam Gomis from French second-tier side Caen, though they face competition for him. Several other transfers are in progress.

Expect to see more updates on Villa’s activity during the window.

Aston Villa’s win at Everton won’t slow down their pursuit of new signings in the winter transfer window.
