    JON OBI MIKEL (CHELSEA TO TIANJIN TEDA)
    UNDISCLOSED

    Chelsea continue to off-load their fringe players to the Chinese Super League with the Nigerian international following Oscar, while also ending his 10-year association with the Blues. Mikel is expected to earn around £140,000 (Dh631,000) a week.

    ROBERT SNODGRASS (Hull City to West Ham)
    BID REJECTED – £3m (Dh13.5m)

    The Scot is out of contract at the end of the season but, given his importance to relegation-threatened Hull, West Ham surely can’t have expected to get far with this. What they could be doing, however, is trying to unsettle the player ahead of an improved offer.

    PAUL-GEORGES NTEP (Rennes to Wolfsburg)
    FEE AGREED – €8.5m (Dh32.8m)

    Rennes coach Christian Gourcuff confirmed last night the winger is on the verge of moving to Germany. Wolfsburg are spending the €42m they received from Julian Draxler wisely, with Ntep joining Riechedly Bazoer and Yunus Malli at the club for less than €25m in total.

    FRANCK KESSIE (ATLANTA TO CHELSEA)
    IN TALKS – €20m (Dh77.5m)

    The Premier League leaders are keen to sign the 20-year-old Ivorian midfielder this month but according to the Guardian, Atalanta want substantially more than the Blues are willing to offer. Chelsea are likely to improve on their bid but only in the summer.

    RICARDO RODRIGUEZ – (Wolfsburg to Inter Milan)
    NEW TARGET – €22 (Dh85m)

    The Swiss is coveted across Europe, with Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain particularly keen but, according to Sky Sport Italia, the 24-year-old left-back has his heart set on a move to Italy with Internazionale long-term
    admirers.
