🔗 Share this article Concerning Marc Guéhi to Yildiz – Who Could Be Making a Switch this January Transfer Market? The January transfer market is typically a period of intense rumour and potential big-money deals. Numerous prominent players are being connected to transfers away from their present clubs. This article explores a selection of the major names that might be changing clubs this month. Antoine Semenyo Although the Black Stars' failure to qualify for the AFCON, this has kept the forward available, indications are an important transfer is close. The Bournemouth attacker has a contract with a £65 million buy-out clause applicable for a two-week period at the start of the month. Recent developments point to the Premier League champions look to have won the race for his signature. Other suitors such as Chelsea and Tottenham are said to have turned their attention to alternative targets, leaving clubs such as Manchester United or Liverpool to attempt a late move. M. Guéhi This English centre-back has continued to impress for Palace despite a previous move to Liverpool falling through. As his contract set to run out in the close season, January is the London club's last chance to obtain a transfer fee for their captain. Numerous top sides, such as City and several continental powerhouses like Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Bayern Munich, are believed to be interested. Yet, a January departure is considered unlikely, particularly given the manager's reliance on the player. Brennan Johnson The Welsh winger 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. It is understood the London outfit would be willing to consider a transfer for the right valuation, thought to be in the region of £40 million. Bournemouth appear to be leading the chase, with Crystal Palace, Aston Villa, and Brentford additionally credited with an interest. Tottenham value the Welsh international at around £40m. Rúben Neves This Portugal playmaker might be poised for a comeback to the English top flight following a period in Saudi Arabia. Still just twenty-eight, while his contract ending in the summer, he is a potential bargain. Teams such as Manchester United and Liverpool are connected to the former Wolves man. Furthermore, there are rumours from Spain that he would be prepared to accept a pay cut for a move to the Spanish giants. Marc-André ter Stegen The veteran German shot-stopper finds himself as third-choice at Barcelona under the coach Hansi Flick. After fallen out of favour and undergone an operation, a winter departure looks increasingly probable. Aston Villa were initially linked as a possible destination, but that move now appears unlikely. Instead, interest from Turkey and Saudi Arabia are thought to be expressing curiosity in the keeper. I. Toney This prolific England striker has continued finding the net regularly in the Middle East. Coming back to the Premier League might enhance his dwindling hopes of making the England squad. But, arranging a transfer poses major hurdles. His current club do not wish to sell him, and his reported enormous weekly wages make any agreement complicated. Everton, Tottenham, and Manchester United have all been mentioned as admirers. The striker helped his Saudi club to a win in the domestic cup final. C. Gallagher The energetic English midfielder drew widespread interest in the off-season but stayed at Atlético Madrid. Having limited starting appearances in Spain this season, he is keen to find more playing time ahead of the tournament. United have been heavily linked, and a return to Selhurst Park, a club he excelled on loan, is also a possibility, although financial constraints might prove a problem. H. Elliott Despite excelling and winning player of the tournament at the Under-21 European Championship last summer, this young player has struggled for game time on loan at Aston Villa. Unai Emery has confirmed the temporary transfer will not become permanent. Because of FIFA regulations about playing for multiple teams in a campaign, a move back to his parent club before next season seems to be the only available solution. K. Yildiz The highly-rated Turkish forward has been in excellent form for Juventus this season. As his existing deal nearing its end, many English clubs – such as Tottenham, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Liverpool – are monitoring the situation. The Turin club are eager to tie down the youngster to a new long-term contract but face a race to keep one of the continent's most promising prospects. K. Smit The highly-touted Dutch midfielder has earned parallels to a Belgian superstar for his playing style. Following impressing at the Under-19 European Championship, he has become a regular in the AZ side. This 19-year-old is widely tipped to complete a major move this month. Newcastle are believed to be leading the chase, but are facing strong rivalry from Real Madrid for a deal valued at approximately £22 million.
