The January transfer window is just around the corner, so we have identified five players linked with a move who could make the switch over the next four weeks.
Some of Europe’s top talents have been associated with moves away from their respective clubs in January. It’s a golden opportunity for players to rejuvenate their season or even take a step up to advance their careers.
- Kalvin Phillips
From: Manchester City To: Newcastle United
Phillips has been heavily linked with a move away from Manchester City this summer, having fallen out of favor. Newcastle is the latest side to express interest, seeing him as a suitable replacement for the absent Sandro Tonali, who is banned for 10 months.
- Victor Osimhen
From: Napoli To: Arsenal
Reports suggest that Arsenal has ‘made contact’ with Osimhen’s representatives for a deal in January. However, acquiring the prolific goal scorer is expected to cost the Gunners upwards of £112 million.
- Jean-Clair Todibo
From: OGC Nice To: Tottenham Hotspur
Todibo is reportedly on Ange Postecoglu’s wish list this January, as the Australian boss is keen to bolster his defensive options due to current injuries. The 23-year-old is currently valued at £35 million by Nice if he were to move away from the club in January.
- Evan Ferguson
From: Brighton & Hove Albion To: Manchester United
Manchester United is currently in the market for a striker, as only five Premier League sides have scored fewer goals than them this season. Evan Ferguson is one of the players linked with a move to the club. At just 19 years old, he could be a good long-term option.
- Joao Palhinha
From: Fulham To: Liverpool
Liverpool has reportedly been interested in Palhinha over the past year, and Jurgen Klopp might be keen to finalize the move in January. With Liverpool currently one point off the top of the table, adding a player of Palhinha’s quality could bolster their chances of winning the title come May.
