This winter transfer market is always a time of feverish rumour and possible big-money transfers. Several prominent footballers find themselves linked with transfers away from their current clubs. We examine a selection of the key names that might be changing clubs in January. A. Semenyo Although Ghana's failure to qualify for the AFCON, which has kept the forward available, indications are a significant move is close. The Bournemouth attacker possesses a deal with a substantial release clause active for a short period in early January. Latest developments indicate the Premier League champions look to have won the race for his signature. Former interested parties like Chelsea and Tottenham are said to have moved on to alternative options, leaving teams such as Manchester United or Liverpool to attempt a last-minute bid. M. Guéhi This English centre-back has continued to excel for Palace this season a previous transfer to Liverpool collapsing. With his deal due to expire in the summer, January is the London club's final chance to obtain a transfer fee for their captain. Numerous top sides, including City and multiple continental powerhouses including Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Bayern Munich, are believed to hold an interest. Yet, a January exit is considered difficult, especially given the manager's dependence on the defender. B. Johnson This Wales winger has had first-team minutes limited at Tottenham this term. Although being the club's top scorer the previous campaign, he has begun only a handful of Premier League matches. Reports suggest the London club is open to a transfer for the right valuation, thought to be in the around £40 million. Bournemouth appear to be leading the chase, with Crystal Palace, Aston Villa, and Brentford also credited with an inquiry. Tottenham rate the Welsh international at approximately £40m. Rúben Neves The Portuguese midfielder could be poised for a return to the English top flight following a period in Saudi Arabia. Still just twenty-eight, while his agreement expiring in the summer, he is a possible bargain. Teams such as Liverpool and Manchester United have been connected to the player. Additionally, there are suggestions from Spain that he is prepared to accept a pay cut for a move to Real Madrid. Marc-André ter Stegen The experienced German shot-stopper is now as the third option at Barça following new coach Hansi Flick. After fallen out of favour and undergone an operation, a January exit seems increasingly likely. Villa were initially linked as a potential destination, but that move currently seems unlikely. Instead, interest from Saudi Arabia and Turkey are reportedly expressing interest in the 33-year-old. I. Toney This proven English striker has continued scoring frequently in the Middle East. A return to the Premier League could enhance his dwindling hopes of being in the England World Cup. However, arranging a deal poses significant challenges. Al-Ahli do not wish to sell him, and his reported enormous salary render any move complicated. Everton, Tottenham, and Manchester United are all mentioned as admirers. The striker was instrumental as his Saudi club to a win in the Saudi Super Cup final. C. Gallagher This energetic English midfielder drew considerable interest in the off-season but remained at Atlético. With limited starting appearances in La Liga this term, he may be eager to find more playing time ahead of the tournament. Manchester United are heavily connected, and a return to Crystal Palace, a club he excelled on a temporary deal, is also a possibility, although wage demands might prove a stumbling block. H. Elliott Despite excelling and winning player of the tournament at the U21 Euros last summer, the talented player has found it tough for game time on loan at Aston Villa. Unai Emery has stated the loan move won't become permanent. Because of FIFA regulations about playing for two clubs in a campaign, a return to Liverpool before next season appears to be the only viable outcome. Kenan Yildiz This exciting Turkey forward is in fine form for the Italian giants this season. As his existing deal nearing its end, many English sides – such as Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, and Tottenham – are keeping tabs on the developments. The Turin club are desperate to secure the youngster to a lengthy contract but are in a race to keep one of Europe's most promising young talents. Kees Smit This highly-touted Netherlands teenage midfielder has drawn parallels to a Belgian superstar for his playing style. After impressing at the Under-19 European Championship, he has broken into the AZ Alkmaar first team. This teenager is widely tipped to make a big-money move in January. Newcastle reportedly are leading the chase, but could face stiff rivalry from the Spanish champions for a signing priced at around £22 million.
