• Cancelo having medical for loan with €70m buy option
• Tottenham agree deal with Sporting for right-back Porro

Bayern Munich are poised to sign João Cancelo on loan from Manchester City with an option to buy for €70m (£61.6m). The Premier League champions sanctioned the move after Cancelo told Pep Guardiola he wanted to leave and the player has arrived in Munich for a medical.

The Portugal international played a big part in City’s title wins of the past two seasons but has been an unused substitute for three of the past five league games and was taken off at half-time in one of the others. In early November, he angered Pep Guardiola with his red card against Fulham and the emergence of Rico Lewis has affected Cancelo’s game time.
