Morning Espresso, 1.23: USMNT win, Pochettino pleased, silly season updates

Welcome in for another cup of Morning Espresso here on the SDH Network.

Miguel Almiron and Emmanuel Latte Lath updates, there aren't any updates but there's also no need to panic on either move from the Atlanta United perspective. Almiron is expected to be part of Newcastle's side as they travel to Southampton for Saturday's match.

The USMNT finished January camp with another win, last night defeating Costa Rica 3-0. Diego Luna starred after breaking his nose, Mauricio Pochettino sounded especially impressed with him on the TNT postgame show... you can find the quote or listen to the audio/video portion of the Espresso for it.

Manchester City are in danger of missing out on the Champions League knockout stages after a loss to PSG yesterday, blowing a 2-0 lead. They've also got a complaint filed against them now for potentially tampering with Valladolid's Juma Bah and his contract situation. Stay tuned...

Clubs in Norway's top two divisions have voted to get rid of VAR, this feels so misguided and the focus should be on training and development of the video assistant referees rather than scrapping a system that gets more calls right.

Silly season updates:

• Record-setting women's transfer of Naomi Girma from San Diego to Chelsea agreed upon

• Kyle Walker loan from City to Milan

• Manchester United struggling on fee for Patrick Dorgu of Lecce.

• Barcelona can't clear the salary to add Marcus Rashford on loan

• Boca Juniors still chasing Leandro Paredes, and now have additional time to get him

• Wilfred Zaha to Charlotte on loan from Galatasaray

• and more in the Espresso
