Some big news in the last few moments, with the Times George Caulkin and the Chronicle's Lee Ryder confirming that Newcastle are now hoping to tie up a loan deal to sign Liverpool's Daniel Sturridge until the end of the season.
The Times state that 'the final details on a temporary switch from Liverpool are in the process of being thrashed out', with Rafa Benitez having made a move to sign the out of favour Liverpool striker after the club failed to meet Feyenoord's £20m asking price for Nicolai Jorgensen.
