Kagawa’s Monaco Loan<\/h2>\n

Japan and Borussia Dortmund legend Shinji Kagawa<\/a> could leave the Signal Iduna Park. The 29-year-old is being linked with a temporary move to Monaco<\/a> for the rest of this season.<\/p>\n

After joining the Schwarzgelben<\/em> in 2010, Shinji Kagawa<\/a> won two league titles as well as two DFB-Pokals while in Germany. He also won the Premier League on one occasion\u00a0during his brief tenure with Manchester United<\/a>.<\/p>\n

However, this season Kagawa has found his play time limited under Lucien Favre. He has made just four appearances<\/a> across all competitions and just two of those were starts. This lack of selection has lead to Shinji Kagawa’s wish to depart.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Monaco have\u00a0struggled greatly this season, finding themselves in 19th-place in Ligue 1. They recently sacked manager Thierry Henry<\/a> due to the team’s poor\u00a0results on the pitch.<\/p>\n

Goodbye Gueye?<\/h2>\n

Idrissa Gana Gueye<\/a> is on the verge of an Everton exit. The defensive midfielder handed in a transfer request at Goodison Park in December after discovering that French giants Paris Saint-Germain<\/a> are interested in his services.<\/p>\n

The Toffees have already rejected a\u00a0\u00a322 million bid from the Parisians, valuing the player at over \u00a330 million. To further muddy the waters, Sky Sports report<\/a>\u00a0that both Arsenal<\/a> and Manchester City<\/a> are now interested in the player as well.<\/p>\n

Manager Marco Silva left the Senegalese out of the squad that beat Huddersfield Town<\/a> on Tuesday, suggesting a transfer is in the works. However, Silva denied such allegations and insisted that Gueye was simply injured.<\/p>\n

Christensen Loan Opportunity<\/h2>\n

Andreas Christensen<\/a> has found opportunities few and far between since the arrival of Maurizio Sarri. The Dane has featured in the league just once this season, sparking rumours about his future.<\/p>\n

To add to that, Sarri is apparently displeased with the fact the 22-year-old disappeared from the Chelsea<\/a> bench for the final few minutes in their defeat to Arsenal for a toilet break.<\/p>\n

After allowing Mehdi Benatia to leave, Juventus<\/a> are keen to sure up their back line. Meanwhile, Dortmund also wish to strengthen their defence to help their Bundesliga<\/a> title challenge.<\/p>\n

Both wish to take the defender temporarily and Chelsea would allow Christensen to leave on loan, but only for a\u00a0\u00a36 million fee<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Palace Close in on Young Striker<\/h2>\n

Roy Hodgson wants more firepower at Selhurst Park. Crystal Palace have one of the weakest strike forces in the Premiership, having scored just 23 times in their 23 matches.<\/p>\n

So, the Eagles are turning to Serie B side Spezia and their 21-year-old striker\u00a0David Okereke<\/a>. The Nigerian has netted six goals and set up a further seven this season.<\/p>\n

The move would cost Palace a reported\u00a0\u00a37 million.<\/a><\/p>\n
