Updated Transfers: Festy Ebosele completes move to Istanbul Basaksehir and Villa eye Rashford

Republic of Ireland international Festy Ebosele has completed a move to Istanbul Basaksehir from Udinese.

The 22-year-old wing-back has penned a three-and-a-half-year deal with the Turkish Super Lig club, who are currently seventh in the table.

Istanbul Basaksehir ended St Patrick's Athletic's Conference League journey in the summer when they prevailed in a two-legged play-off. However they subsequently failed to make it to the knockout stages.

Ebosele spent the first part of this campaign on loan at Watford. He had initially agreed to stay at Vicarage Road for the season but cut short his stay to seal a switch to Istanbul.

Danny Mandroiu has committed his future to Shamrock Rovers after signing a new multi-year deal.

Mandroiu returned to the Hoops last summer following a spell at Lincoln City. He was initially signed until the end of the year, but Shamrock Rovers confirmed on Friday that he is staying at Tallaght Stadium long term.

Aston Villa boss Unai Emery says Ollie Watkins wants to stay at the club after Arsenal made a bid for the striker.

Watkins was the subject of a rejected offer from the Gunners earlier this week, reported to be £60m.

The striker reacted by scoring in Wednesday's Champions League win over Celtic, tellingly tapping the badge in celebration.

However, fellow striker Jhon Duran has joined Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr in a deal understood to be worth up to £71m.

Duran's move to Al Nassr was confirmed on Friday, with the fee for the Colombia international the second biggest Villa have received behind the £100m Manchester City paid for Jack Grealish.

His departure means Villa are looking for attacking recruitments.

With that in mind, the Birmingham club are said to be exploring the possibility of signing
