From Marc Guéhi and Yildiz – Which Players Might Be Transferring this winter Transfer Market?

This January transfer window is typically a time of feverish speculation and possible major transfers. Numerous prominent stars are being linked with moves away from their present clubs. Here is a look at some of the top names who could be on the move this month.

A. Semenyo

Despite Ghana's failure to qualify for the AFCON, this has kept the forward in contention, indications are an important move is close. This Bournemouth attacker has a deal featuring a substantial release clause active for a two-week period in early January. Recent developments indicate the Premier League champions are now the frontrunners for his services. Former suitors like Chelsea and Tottenham reportedly have moved on to other options, potentially opening the door for teams such as Liverpool or Manchester United to make a late bid.

M. Guéhi

This England centre-back has impress for Crystal Palace this season a previous move to Anfield falling through. With his deal set to expire in the summer, this represents the London club's final opportunity to secure a transfer fee for their skipper. A host of elite clubs, such as City and multiple continental powerhouses like Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Bayern Munich, are believed to be interested. However, a winter exit is considered difficult, particularly given the manager's reliance on the player.

B. Johnson

This Wales forward has found first-team minutes limited at Spurs this campaign. Although being the side's leading goalscorer the previous campaign, he has started only a small number of league matches. It is understood the North London outfit is open to a transfer for the correct price, thought to be in the region of £40 million. Bournemouth are currently leading the chase, with Aston Villa, Brentford, and Crystal Palace also credited with an inquiry.

Spurs rate Brennan Johnson at around forty million pounds.

R. Neves

This Portuguese midfielder could be set for a return to the Premier League following a period in the Saudi Pro League. Still only twenty-eight, and with his agreement expiring in the summer, he represents a potential opportunity. Teams such as Manchester United and Liverpool have been linked with the former Wolves man. Additionally, there are rumours from Spanish media that he would be willing to accept a reduced salary for a move to the Spanish giants.

M. ter Stegen

This experienced German shot-stopper is now as third-choice at Barcelona under the coach Hansi Flick. Having fallen out of favour and undergone surgery, a January departure looks highly probable. Aston Villa were once linked as a possible suitor, but that option currently seems unlikely. Instead, interest from Saudi Arabia and Turkey are thought to be showing curiosity in the keeper.

Ivan Toney

The proven English centre-forward has continued finding the net regularly in Saudi Arabia. Coming back to the Premier League might boost his fading hopes of being in the England squad. But, arranging a deal presents major challenges. His current club do not wish to part with him, and his reported huge salary make any move complicated. Everton, Tottenham, and Manchester United are all mentioned as admirers.

The striker helped Al-Ahli to a win in the domestic cup final.

Conor Gallagher

The energetic midfielder drew widespread interest in the off-season but remained at Atlético Madrid. Having limited starting appearances in La Liga this term, he may be keen to secure more playing time ahead of the tournament. Manchester United are strongly connected, and a move back to Crystal Palace, where he shone on loan, remains a possibility, although wage demands might prove a problem.

Harvey Elliott

Although starring and winning the best player award at the Under-21 European Championship in the summer, this talented midfielder has struggled for minutes during his loan spell at Aston Villa. Unai Emery has confirmed the loan move won't be made permanent. Due to FIFA regulations about representing two clubs in a season, a return to his parent club before next season appears to be the only available outcome.

Kenan Yildiz

The exciting Turkish forward has been in fine form for the Italian giants this season. As his existing contract running down, a host of Premier League clubs – including Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, and Tottenham – are keeping tabs on the situation. The Turin club are desperate to tie down the youngster to a new long-term agreement but are in a race to keep one of the continent's most promising prospects.

Kees Smit

The much-admired Netherlands midfielder has earned parallels to a Belgian superstar for his style of play. After impressing at the U19 Euros, he has become a regular in the AZ side. This teenager is heavily tipped to make a major move in January. Newcastle United are believed to be frontrunners, but are facing stiff rivalry from Real Madrid for a signing valued at approximately twenty-two million pounds.
