Semenyo Despite the Black Stars' inability to qualify for the AFCON, this has left the forward available, it appears an important transfer is close. This Bournemouth attacker possesses a deal featuring a sizeable buy-out clause applicable for a brief window at the start of the month. Recent reports point to the Premier League champions look to have won the race for his services. Other interested parties such as Chelsea and Tottenham reportedly have turned their attention to alternative targets, potentially opening the door for teams like Manchester United or Liverpool to make a last-minute move. Marc Guéhi The English centre-back has continued to impress for Palace this season a summer move to Liverpool falling through. With his deal due to expire in the summer, this represents the London club's final chance to secure a fee for their captain. A host of top clubs, including Manchester City and several European giants including Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, and Barcelona, reportedly be interested. However, a January departure is considered unlikely, especially given the coach's dependence on the defender. B. Johnson This Welsh winger has had first-team opportunities limited at Tottenham this term. Despite finishing as the club's top scorer the previous campaign, he has begun just a small number of league matches. It is understood the North London club is willing to consider a sale for the right price, thought to be in the region of £40 million. Bournemouth are currently leading the chase, with Aston Villa, Brentford, and Crystal Palace additionally credited with an interest. Tottenham rate the Welsh international at approximately forty million pounds. Rúben Neves This Portuguese midfielder could be set for a return to the Premier League following a period in Saudi Arabia. Now just twenty-eight, and with his contract expiring in the summer, he represents a possible opportunity. Clubs like Liverpool and Manchester United have been connected to the former Wolves man. Additionally, there have been rumours from Spain that he would be prepared to accept a reduced salary for a switch to Real Madrid. Marc-André ter Stegen The experienced German shot-stopper finds himself as the third option at Barcelona under the manager Flick. Having fallen out of favour and had surgery, a winter departure seems highly likely. Villa were initially mentioned as a possible suitor, but that move now appears off. Instead, clubs from Saudi Arabia and Turkey are reportedly expressing curiosity in the 33-year-old. I. Toney The proven England striker has kept scoring regularly in Saudi Arabia. A return to the Premier League might enhance his dwindling hopes of being in the England squad. But, securing a deal poses major challenges. Al-Ahli do not wish to part with him, and his reported enormous salary make any agreement difficult. Tottenham, Manchester United, and Everton are all mentioned as interested parties. Ivan Toney was instrumental as Al-Ahli to victory in the domestic cup final. C. Gallagher The energetic midfielder attracted widespread attention in the off-season but stayed at Atlético. With limited starts in Spain this term, he is keen to secure more playing time ahead of the World Cup. United are strongly connected, and a move back to Crystal Palace, a club he excelled on a temporary deal, is also a possibility, though wage demands might be a stumbling block. H. Elliott Despite starring and being named player of the tournament at the Under-21 European Championship in the summer, the young player has found it tough for minutes on loan at Villa. The manager has confirmed the loan move won't be made permanent. Due to specific rules about representing multiple teams in a season, a return to Liverpool before next season seems to be the only available outcome. K. Yildiz This exciting Turkey attacker is in excellent form for Juventus this season. With his current deal running down, many Premier League sides – including Tottenham, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Liverpool – are monitoring the developments. Juventus are eager to secure the youngster to a lengthy contract but face a race to retain one of Europe's most promising young talents. K. Smit This highly-touted Netherlands midfielder has earned comparisons to a Belgian superstar for his style of play. After starring at the Under-19 European Championship, he has become a regular in the AZ first team. The teenager is widely tipped to complete a major transfer in January. Newcastle reportedly are frontrunners, but could face strong competition from the Spanish champions for a signing priced at approximately £22 million.
