Payet didn't speak to West Ham team-mates for eight weeks

West Ham co-chairman David Sullivan has revealed that Dimitri Payet didn't speak to his team-mates for eight weeks before his £25million move to Marseille.  Former fans' favourite Payet had been refusing to play for the Hammers, and finally got a move back to Marseille at the end of the transfer window. While West Ham were initially unwilling to sell, Sullivan has revealed the circumstances which made it near-impossible to keep him at the club.

MATT BARLOW: Sutton United were reeling in disbelief and talking giddily about their ‘World Cup final’ on Monday night after being drawn to face Arsenal in the fifth round of the FA Cup.

CHARLES SALE - SPORTS AGENDA: Gary Lineker and Dan Walker have bemused the FA by attacking the ruling body for refusing to allow them to switch their FA Cup fourth-round televised tie.

Here, Sportsmail's Head of Sport Lee Clayton listened in on Carroll's discussion with columnist Jamie Redknapp... 

Conte thinks Chelsea can wave goodbye to Liverpool's title challenge if his side win at Anfield

Antonio Conte has urged Chelsea to be ruthless and strike a crushing psychological blow to Liverpool’s fading title hopes by beating Jurgen Klopp's side at Anfield. The runaway Premier League leaders will run out at a highly-charged Anfield with victory the aim to extend their lead over Jurgen Klopp’s strugglers at the top of the table to 13 points. Having looked like Chelsea’s main title rivals before Christmas, Liverpool have slumped massively in recent weeks.

The last day of January and already the finishing line appears to be in sight for Chelsea in this Premier League title race. Beat Liverpool and the window might not be the only opportunity closing shut.

After a disastrous week in which they lost at home to Swansea and were knocked out of both cups, Liverpool need something to lift the mood.

Leicester City striker Leonardo Ulloa says he feels 'betrayed' by manager Claudio Ranieri and has vowed never to play for the club again in an astonishing outburst on social media.

John Terry hopes he does not play for Chelsea this season

The Chelsea captain has made just five Premier League appearances this season, with poor form, a change of system and injury all playing a part in keeping him on the sidelines. Speaking with former England team-mate Steve Gerrard ahead of his side's game at Liverpool on Tuesday, Terry insisted it may be best if he was not regularly involved as his side look to convert their current eight-point lead into the title at the end of the season.

CRAIG HOPE: Rafa Benitez will demand Newcastle’s hierarchy pay the £15million Crystal Palace are asking for Andros Townsend as he makes one final attempt to land the winger.

Chelsea could make a stunning deadline day bid for Celtic striker Moussa Dembele, but he is likely to cost the Premier League leaders upwards of £30million.

Tony Pulis has reprised his long-term interest in Jay Rodriguez by making a £12million bid for the Southampton striker. The player has been in and out of the Saints side so far this season.

Chelsea are closing in on a deadline day swoop for Schalke’s versatile Sead Kolasinac and are prepared to more than double Craig Gordon’s wages to persuade the keeper to sign.

Steve Bruce is determined to add to his strikeforce but needs to first raise cash, with Ashley Westwood’s departure to Turf Moor helping supply funds to make a bid for Brentford striker Scott Hogan.

Talks between both clubs are at advanced stage and Eagles manager Sam Allardyce is confident of completing a deal for the Serbian international midfielder ahead of Tuesday's deadline.

Payet feels no need to 'justify' behaviour to West Ham

ADAM CRAFTON IN MARSEILLE: Dimitri Payet claimed he has no need to 'justify' his behaviour in his final days at West Ham and declared himself 'delighted' to return home to Marseille.

Juventus steal the show at Serie A awards

Juventus' trophy cabinet is already likely to full to the brim, but the Italian champions will be adding to it this week after cleaning up at the Gran Gala del Calcio. The Serie A awards ceremony took place in Milan on Monday night, and perhaps unsurprisingly all the big awards will be heading back to the Juventus Stadium. Massimiliano Allegri picked up the gong for Best Manager for the 2015-16 season, while Juventus as a whole secured the Best Club award.

Black Cats boss David Moyes defends transfer policy

CRAIG HOPE: David Moyes has defended his decision to take the number of his former players now at Sunderland to nine after the signing of Bryan Oviedo and Darron Gibson. The Everton pair joined in a combined £7.5million deal on Monday following the arrival of ex-Toffees trio Victor Anichebe, Steven Pienaar and Joleon Lescott.

Crystal Palace sign Patrick van Aanholt from for £14m

Crystal Palace have completed the signing of Patrick van Aanholt from Sunderland for £14million. The Dutch full-back heads to Selhurst Park where he is reunited with Sam Allardyce following their spell together at the Stadium of Light last season. Van Aanholt, who joined the Black Cats from Chelsea in July 2014, has signed a four-and-a-half year deal after completing his medical with the south London club. 

McCormack reported on time on Monday for his session with Villa's Under 23s, where the £12million summer signing has been sent to train by his irate manager, but a return to contention is some way off.

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho has revealed he turned down a 'big offer' to go to China. The 54-year-old did not specify which club made the approach, or the timing of the offer.

Man United midfielder Schweinsteiger and wife take stroll

It has been a long time since Bastian Schweinsteiger has been able to take a casual Monday stroll after a weekend where he starred in a Manchester United victory. Up until Sunday, Schweinsteiger had not made a start for United in 385 days, and for much of this season was training with the reserves after being cut out of manager Jose Mourinho's plans. However he was in the starting XI against Wigan Athletic in their FA Cup fourth round tie, and the former German international even got on the score sheet with the final goal in United's 4-0 win.

Danny Welbeck scored twice during his first start in nine months with Theo Walcott, back from six weeks out, also netting a hat-trick at Southampton. In the pair's absence, Arsenal hardly struggled.

Arsenal news: Danny Welbeck could return to bench

Arsene Wenger says Danny Welbeck has done enough to keep his place in the Arsenal side but the striker still might not be risked against Watford on Tuesday. Welbeck returned to goalscoring action with two of the Gunners' five in their FA Cup rout of Southampton on Saturday night, marking his first start of the season in spectacular style. However, as he continues to work his way back to optimal fitness following a major knee injury, Wenger is loath to hand his England international too great a workload. And that could mean returning to the bench when the Hornets visit the Emirates.

On Monday bookmakers, not always the most reliable of resources, slashed the odds on Coleman moving to United to 1/3. 'It is that time of year. I haven't heard about the story,' said Coleman.

Tianjin Quanjian made a £32million offer for Salomon Rondon but West Brom said he was not for sale in this window at any price. The Chinese side have already completed a deal for Alexandre Pato.

Watford are considering a deadline day loan move for Newcastle United goalkeeper Tim Krul. The Dutch international has recently been on loan at Ajax but has yet to play.

The 28-year-old former France Under 21 international had been discussing a move to Serie A side Palermo, having made just two starts for Inter Milan so far this season.

Joshua bids to make breakthrough in USA as he trains in Baltimore ahead of latest face-off with heavyweight rival Klitschko

Heavyweight boxer Joshua, who has a sponsorship deal with the sporting brand, took to Instagram to post a photo himself hanging out with Hearn on a plane, captioning the post: 'Baltimore bound.' Hearn however, was a fair bit more revealing on the matter. He also took to his social media account, commenting: 'Baltimore with Under Armour then NYC for the #joshuaklitschko press conference.' 

Roger Federer is targeting Grand Slam No 19 at Wimbledon

MIKE DICKSON IN MELBOURNE: Roger Federer wants to give himself time to enjoy his Australian Open triumph, but already there are thoughts of No 19 in SW19. The 35-year-old Swiss emerged - blinking and husky-voiced after dancing til dawn - into the Melbourne afternoon and is already pointing towards plans to make a serious run at Wimbledon this summer.

MIKE DICKSON IN MELBOURNE: Roger Federer has hit back at suggestions that the medical timeout he took after the fourth set amounted to little more than gamesmanship.

It wasn't meant to be him. It was meant to be them. One of them, obviously. The new breed. Milos Raonic, Kei Nishikori, even Dominic Thiem at just 23. Or maybe Stan Wawrinka.

Joe Marler is poised to complete a remarkable comeback from his fractured leg when England launch their Grand Slam defence against France on Saturday.

Boro had a bid turned down for Hull's Robert Snodgrass, who has since joined West Ham for £10.2million, while Paris St Germain winger Jese Rodriguez, has opted for a loan switch to Las Palmas.

The 21-year-old striker has enjoyed loan spells at Brentford, Coventry and Nottingham Forest in his career and helped Hull to promotion last season, scoring seven goals in 22 starts.

The 31-year-old Algerian was a target for Aston Villa earlier in the window and figured for Watford in their FA Cup defeat at Millwall. Hull have also enquired about Marvin Zeegelaar and Nicolas Pepe.

Villa would also receive a significant sum of money, believed to be around £5million, for the Ghana forward but the deal is yet to be completed due to Ayew’s involvement with the Africa Cup of Nations.

The 22-year-old international has been a rare bright spot for the Tigers this season, but Hull are facing a huge fight to keep the defender after the Clarets tabled a major offer for Robertson.

So confident were Chelsea of completing the move, which was due to be worth £29million, it was possible to buy replica shirts featuring his name from the Blues' online store.

Crews were called to Manchester United's home ground following reports of smoke coming from the direction of the south stand shortly before 7am. The situation is now under control.

COUNTDOWN TO THE SIX NATIONS
 

Eddie Jones compared to Donald Trump by Jim Telfer

NIK SIMON: Former Scotland coach Jim Telfer has launched a withering attack on England boss Eddie Jones, Twickenham and Red Rose supporters. Telfer, who was at the helm the last time the Scots won the Championship in 1999, accuses Jones of being disrespectful and compares him to US President Donald Trump in the way he talks. And the former British and Irish Lions assistant coach is equally scathing of the home of English rugby, insisting that an afternoon at Twickenham strengthens the case for Scottish independence from the United Kingdom.

How will the new bonus-point system and new tackle regulations affect the Six Nations? Will Eddie Jones’ England romp to the title? Who will challenge them?

David Beckham - Desert Island Discs review

MARK WEBSTER - EDGE OF THE BOX: In the the battle for a nation's heart, David Beckham is never going to be all-conquering, it seems. For some reason, it's just the way it is with him. There are snipers always ready to take a pot shot at him. And those who are sure he is about to stick his foot on some kind of lurking landmine. Meanwhile, Becks just gets on with being Becks. Something that on Sunday morning he made a particularly good job of when he joined fabulous host Kirsty Young on Radio 4's 'Desert Island Discs.' This seemingly easy going, timeless show has a very simple premise. The guest chats, and picks out a few favourite tunes. But still waters run deep around this fantasy island. So as Young deftly probes away at the private, intimate thinking behind the music selections, so its lone inhabitant is revealed as the person they really are.
