🔗 Share this article From Guéhi and Yildiz – Which Players Might Be on the Move this winter Transfer Window? This winter transfer market is always a period of significant speculation and possible major transfers. Numerous notable stars find themselves linked with moves out of their present clubs. Here is a look at a selection of the top names that are poised to be on the move in January. Antoine Semenyo Although Ghana's failure to reach the Africa Cup of Nations, this has left the forward in contention, reports suggest a major transfer is close. This 25-year-old possesses a deal featuring a £65 million buy-out clause active for a brief period in early January. Latest developments point to the Premier League champions are now the frontrunners for his signature. Other interested parties like Tottenham and Chelsea are said to have turned their attention to other options, potentially opening the door for teams like Manchester United or Liverpool to attempt a last-minute bid. M. Guéhi This English defender has impress for Palace despite a previous transfer to Liverpool collapsing. As his contract set to run out in the close season, January is the club's last chance to secure a transfer fee for their captain. A host of elite sides, such as City and several continental powerhouses including Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, and Barcelona, reportedly hold an interest. Yet, a January exit remains unlikely, especially given the manager's reliance on the defender. Brennan Johnson The Welsh winger has had starting opportunities limited at Tottenham this term. Although finishing as the side's leading goalscorer the previous campaign, he has begun just a handful of league games. It is understood the North London club is open to a transfer for the correct valuation, thought to be in the region of forty million pounds. The Cherries are currently leading the chase, with Crystal Palace, Aston Villa, and Brentford also showing an interest. Spurs rate Brennan Johnson at around forty million pounds. R. Neves This Portugal playmaker could be poised for a return to the Premier League following a spell in Saudi Arabia. Now just twenty-eight, and with his contract ending in the summer of 2026, he represents a potential bargain. Teams like Manchester United and Liverpool are connected to the player. Furthermore, there are suggestions from Spanish media that he is prepared to accept a pay cut for a switch to Real Madrid. Marc-André ter Stegen The veteran German shot-stopper is now as the third option at Barça following new coach Hansi Flick. Having fallen out of favour and undergone an operation, a January exit seems increasingly likely. Villa were once linked as a possible suitor, but that move currently seems off. Instead, interest from Turkey and Saudi Arabia are reportedly expressing interest in the 33-year-old. I. Toney This proven English centre-forward has continued scoring frequently in the Middle East. A return to the Premier League could boost his fading chances of being in the England World Cup. However, arranging a transfer presents significant hurdles. Al-Ahli are reluctant to sell him, and his reported huge salary render any move difficult. Tottenham, Manchester United, and Everton are all linked as admirers. Ivan Toney was instrumental as his Saudi club to victory in the domestic cup final. C. Gallagher This dynamic midfielder attracted considerable attention in the summer but remained at Atlético. Having limited starts in Spain this season, he is eager to secure more playing time ahead of the tournament. United have been heavily connected, and a return to Selhurst Park, where he shone on a temporary deal, is also a possibility, though wage demands could be a problem. H. Elliott Although excelling and winning the best player award at the U21 Euros in the summer, this young midfielder has struggled for minutes on loan at Villa. The manager has stated the loan move won't become permanent. Due to FIFA regulations about representing two clubs in a season, a move back to Liverpool before next summer appears to be the sole available outcome. K. Yildiz The highly-rated Turkish forward has been in excellent form for the Italian giants this term. With his existing deal running down, a host of English clubs – such as Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, and Tottenham – are keeping tabs on the developments. The Turin club are desperate to tie down the 20-year-old to a lengthy contract but are in a race to retain one of the continent's brightest prospects. Kees Smit The highly-touted Dutch teenage midfielder has earned parallels to a Belgian superstar for his style of play. Following starring at the Under-19 European Championship, Smit has broken into the AZ side. The teenager is widely tipped to complete a major move this month. Newcastle reportedly are frontrunners, but could face strong rivalry from the Spanish champions for a deal priced at around £22 million.
