International Clearance

The January transfer window shuts for the majority of major European leagues, and there are lots of late deals of players leaving to play abroad to catch you up on. Chuba Akpom has a new home in France, Lloyd Kelly makes a dream jump to Juventus, and Carney Chukwuemeka escapes his Chelsea hell with a loan move to Dortmund. We also spotlight some of the homecomings - Marcus Edwards to Burnley?! - and the moves that didn't transpire, not least a transfer fiasco involving Jordan Henderson, Ajax and Monaco.

Plus, hope remains for free agent Ryan Kent and his reptile collection with a potential move to Iran, two young English coaches take on a massive challenge at the bottom of the Turkish Super Lig, and Steven Gerrard says goodbye to Al-Ettifaq after 18 months in charge.

With less than a week to go until the January transfer window shuts, we get more players looking like they'll be heading abroad from the UK, or at least trying to!

Hearts right back Daniel Oyegoke has got a dream move to Serie A, Leicester City are fighting off Bundesliga bids for their left back Luke Thomas, while Turkish giants Galatasaray join the long list of clubs trying to tempt Kyle Walker-Peters as his contract runs down at Southampton. Elsewhere, Ajax striker Chuba Akpom has potential offers from Ligue 1, Marcus Rashford's hope of a European loan dwindles, and we pray Crawley Town don't prevent their winger Junior Quitirna from the move of a lifetime...

Plus, on-pitch updates from the Brits across Europe including a Che Adams in Serie A, a rare but impressive Eric Dier start for Bayern and Max Aarons thrown to the wolves for his Valencia debut.

Elsewhere, Newcastle United reject multiple overseas bids for Lloyd Kelly, Motherwell turn down an Italian bid for their star teenager Lennon Miller, while a Welsh duo at Rangers look to be heading overseas.

After a catch up of on-pitch action from our boys abroad over the last week, including a lively post-break Bundesliga curtain raiser, we jump into more updates of confirmed moves, reports and gossip from the transfer window.

Borussia Dortmund's shopping list is full of English talent, including Marcus Rashford, who must convince his many potential loan spell suitors to stare down Manchester United over his wages. On the blue side of 0161, Kyle Walker has asked Pep Guardiola to leave Man City in order to explore opportunities to play abroad. Meanwhile, plenty plenty more including Andre Gray heading to the Turkish second tier, and possibly being joined there by Hearts captain Lawrence Shankland...

We'd love to hear your thoughts! @intlclearance

The madness of the January transfer window is well and truly here, and there are all sorts of reports and rumours linking British players away from the UK. Liverpool have rejected a Real Madrid bid for Trent Alexander-Arnold, AC Milan declare their interest in a loan for Marcus Rashford, and pod favourite Mika Biereth looks like he has a big European move already. Plus, we get bossy as a Santos bid for Sheffield Wednesday's Josh Windass has our heads on Jupiter...

We also salute Jude Bellingham on another 'I'm Him' performance for Real Madrid in Valencia, and the several British born or raised players on Diaspora Duty for South East Asian nations in the ASEAN Championship over the last month, including East Timor internationals from Reading and Dungannon!

Joining us on the show this week is East Londoner Marvin Hamilton, who after starting out at Gillingham had a sterling non-league career in the South of England. You know this pod though! We wanted to hear all about his playing spells in the top flight of Cyprus and the Victorian Premier League in Australia, plus his adventures on Diaspora Duty with Sri Lanka, and a recent promotion while coaching in Zimbabwean club football...

There's also a bitesize version of the usual updates on British players abroad - have you seen the Jamie Bynoe-Gittens goal against Bayern yet?! - while you tell us the Italian clubs you wish you could play for. Join the convo @intlclearance

We get to close a couple cases this week, as the mysteries around Michail Antonio and Jason Puncheon from the last episode are solved.

Club football returned and Harry Kane became the fastest player to 50 Bundesliga goals with his hat-trick against Augsburg. His third goal was excellent... but did he mean it? Elsewhere, Steven Gerrard has brought another old friend to Al-Ettiffaq, while Gareth Southgate's former England assistant may have bagged a new job in Japan. Plus, we discuss the future of Marcus Edwards at Sporting after making his first start of the season.

What's your dream Italian club to play for?
