U.S international defender Antonee Robinson’s dream move from English Championship (second-tier) club Wigan Athletic to Italian giants AC Milan fell through in the final hours before the closing of the transfer window.

The 22-year-old Everton youth product travelled to Milan on Friday after the two clubs agreed an initial fee of six million pounds ($7.89 million) on Thursday.

Cavani is out of contract at the end of the season and was linked with a move to Atletico Madrid.

“There are worse situations in life than staying at PSG. I think he will feel good,” Tuchel said. “He must regain the confidence and the rhythm. Edi is here, he’s a great player. We won’t change this group and that’s good.”

Ianis Hagi, son of Romanian great Gheorghe, has become Scottish side Rangers’ first January signing on a six-month loan from Genk.

1320 BLADES SIGN DUTCH STRIKER ZIVKOVIC

Sheffield United have followed up the signing of Sander Berge with the capture of Dutch goalscorer Richairo Zivkovic.

Zivkovic joins Chris Wilder’s squad on loan from Chinese club Changchun Yatai but the Blades have an option to make the deal permanent at the end of the season.

“People will recognise we do sometimes go left field with our signings, but we’ve worked very hard on this one, because we have had to,” Wilder said.

“He will give us genuine pace at the top of the pitch. We’re learning all the time this season, but pace in the Premier League is key and Richairo is someone we think can kick us on.”
