🔗 Share this article From Marc Guéhi and Yildiz – Which Players Could Be Transferring this winter Transfer Window? The winter recruitment period is typically a time of significant rumour and potential major moves. Several high-profile footballers are being linked with transfers away from their present clubs. We examine a selection of the key names who might be changing clubs this month. Antoine Semenyo Although the Black Stars' inability to reach the Africa Cup of Nations, which has left the forward available, indications are an important move is imminent. This 25-year-old possesses a deal featuring a £65 million buy-out clause active for a brief period at the start of the month. Latest developments indicate the Premier League champions have emerged as his signature. Other interested parties like Tottenham and Chelsea reportedly have moved on to alternative targets, leaving clubs like Manchester United or Liverpool to make a last-minute bid. M. Guéhi This England defender has impress for Palace despite a previous move to Liverpool falling through. As his deal due to run out in the close season, January is the London club's last chance to secure a fee for their skipper. Numerous elite sides, including Manchester City and several continental powerhouses like Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Bayern Munich, are believed to be interested. Yet, a winter departure is considered unlikely, particularly given the coach's dependence on the player. Brennan Johnson The Welsh forward has had first-team opportunities limited at Spurs this campaign. Although finishing as the club's top scorer last season, he has begun only a handful of league games. Reports suggest the North London outfit would be open to a sale for the right price, thought to be in the region of £40 million. The Cherries appear to be leading the chase, with Crystal Palace, Aston Villa, and Brentford also credited with an inquiry. Spurs value the Welsh international at approximately forty million pounds. R. Neves The Portugal playmaker might be set for a return to the English top flight following a spell in the Saudi Pro League. Still just 28, and with his contract expiring in the summer, he is a potential bargain. Clubs such as Liverpool and Manchester United are connected to the player. Additionally, there are suggestions from Spanish media that he would be willing to take a reduced salary for a move to the Spanish giants. M. ter Stegen The veteran German goalkeeper is now as third-choice at Barcelona following the manager Hansi Flick. After fallen out of favour and undergone an operation, a January exit seems highly likely. Aston Villa were once linked as a potential suitor, but that move now appears off. Instead, interest from Turkey and Saudi Arabia are thought to be showing interest in the 33-year-old. Ivan Toney This proven England centre-forward has continued finding the net frequently in the Middle East. Coming back to the Premier League might enhance his fading chances of making the England squad. However, arranging a transfer poses significant challenges. Al-Ahli are reluctant to part with him, and his alleged huge weekly wages render any move difficult. Tottenham, Manchester United, and Everton are all linked as interested parties. Ivan Toney was instrumental as his Saudi club to a win in the Saudi Super Cup final. Conor Gallagher This energetic English midfielder drew considerable interest in the off-season but stayed at Atlético Madrid. Having few starts in Spain this term, he is keen to secure more playing time ahead of the tournament. United are strongly linked, and a return to Crystal Palace, where he excelled on loan, is also a option, though wage demands could prove a problem. H. Elliott Although excelling and winning player of the tournament at the Under-21 European Championship last summer, this young player has found it tough for game time on loan at Aston Villa. The manager has confirmed the temporary transfer will not become permanent. Because of FIFA regulations about representing multiple teams in a campaign, a move back to his parent club before next summer appears to be the sole viable outcome. K. Yildiz The exciting Turkey attacker is in excellent form for Juventus this season. As his existing contract running down, many English sides – including Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, and Tottenham – are keeping tabs on the developments. Juventus are eager to secure the 20-year-old to a lengthy contract but face a battle to retain one of the continent's most promising young talents. Kees Smit The highly-touted Netherlands teenage midfielder has drawn comparisons to Kevin De Bruyne for his playing style. Following impressing at the U19 Euros, Smit has broken into the AZ first team. The 19-year-old is widely tipped to complete a big-money move in January. Newcastle United reportedly are leading the chase, but could face stiff rivalry from the Spanish champions for a deal valued at approximately £22 million.
