We examine some of the key figures that are poised to be on the move this month. Antoine Semenyo Although the Black Stars' failure to reach the Africa Cup of Nations, this has kept the forward available, reports suggest a major transfer is imminent. The 25-year-old possesses a deal with a £65 million release clause active for a short period at the start of the month. Recent developments indicate the Premier League champions look to have won the race for his signature. Former interested parties such as Chelsea and Tottenham reportedly have moved on to other targets, leaving clubs such as Liverpool or Manchester United to attempt a late bid. Marc Guéhi This English centre-back has impress for Crystal Palace despite a previous transfer to Liverpool collapsing. As his deal due to run out in the close season, this represents the club's last opportunity to obtain a fee for their captain. Numerous elite sides, such as City and several European giants like Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Bayern Munich, reportedly hold an interest. Yet, a winter departure is considered difficult, particularly given the manager's dependence on the player. Brennan Johnson The Welsh forward has found starting opportunities hard to come by at Spurs this term. Despite being the club's top scorer last season, he has started only a handful of Premier League matches. Reports suggest the London club would be open to a sale for the correct price, believed to be in the region of forty million pounds. The Cherries are currently leading the chase, with Aston Villa, Brentford, and Crystal Palace additionally credited with an interest. Tottenham value Brennan Johnson at approximately £40m. R. Neves The Portugal playmaker could be set for a return to the Premier League after a spell in the Saudi Pro League. Still just twenty-eight, and with his contract ending in the summer, he is a potential bargain. Clubs such as Manchester United and Liverpool have been linked with the player. Furthermore, there are rumours from Spain that he is willing to take a reduced salary for a switch to Real Madrid. Marc-André ter Stegen This experienced Germany goalkeeper is now as the third option at Barcelona under the manager Flick. After fallen out of favour and had surgery, a January exit looks highly probable. Aston Villa were once linked as a possible destination, but that move now appears unlikely. Instead, clubs from Saudi Arabia and Turkey are thought to be expressing curiosity in the keeper. Ivan Toney This proven England striker has continued finding the net frequently in Saudi Arabia. A return to the Premier League might enhance his dwindling chances of being in the England squad. However, arranging a deal presents major challenges. Al-Ahli are reluctant to sell him, and his alleged enormous weekly wages render any agreement complicated. Tottenham, Manchester United, and Everton have all been mentioned as interested parties. The striker helped his Saudi club to a win in the domestic cup final. Conor Gallagher This dynamic midfielder drew widespread attention in the summer but remained at Atlético. With few starts in La Liga this term, he is keen to secure more minutes ahead of the World Cup. Manchester United have been heavily connected, and a move back to Selhurst Park, where he excelled on a temporary deal, is also a possibility, although wage demands might be a problem. Harvey Elliott Despite starring and being named the best player award at the U21 Euros in the summer, this talented midfielder has found it tough for minutes on loan at Villa. The manager has stated the temporary transfer won't be made permanent. Due to specific rules regarding playing for two clubs in a season, a return to his parent club before next season seems to be the sole viable solution. K. Yildiz The exciting Turkey attacker is in fine form for the Italian giants this season. With his current deal running down, many Premier League clubs – including Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, and Tottenham – are monitoring the developments. Juventus are eager to tie down the 20-year-old to a lengthy agreement but face a battle to keep one of the continent's most promising prospects. K. Smit This highly-touted Dutch teenage midfielder has drawn parallels to a Belgian superstar for his playing style. After impressing at the U19 Euros, Smit has become a regular in the AZ side. This teenager is heavily expected to make a major transfer in January. Newcastle are believed to be frontrunners, but could face strong competition from Real Madrid for a deal valued at approximately twenty-two million pounds.
