Regarding Guéhi and Kenan Yildiz – Who Could Be Making a Switch this winter Transfer Window?

This January recruitment period proves to be a time of significant rumour and possible major deals. Numerous high-profile players are being linked with moves away from their current clubs. Here is a look at a selection of the key names that are poised to be changing clubs in January.

Antoine Semenyo

Although Ghana's failure to reach the Africa Cup of Nations, this has left the player in contention, it appears an important move is imminent. This Bournemouth attacker possesses a contract featuring a £65 million release clause active for a two-week window in early January. Recent reports indicate the Premier League champions have emerged as his services. Former suitors such as Tottenham and Chelsea are said to have moved on to other options, potentially opening the door for teams like Liverpool or Manchester United to make a last-minute bid.

Marc Guéhi

This English defender has excel for Palace this season a previous move to Liverpool collapsing. As his contract due to expire in the summer, this represents the club's final chance to obtain a transfer fee for their captain. Numerous elite sides, such as Manchester City and multiple European giants like Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Bayern Munich, reportedly be interested. Yet, a winter departure remains unlikely, especially given the manager's reliance on the defender.

B. Johnson

The Welsh winger has had first-team minutes hard to come by at Tottenham this term. Although being the side's top scorer the previous campaign, he has begun only a small number of Premier League matches. It is understood the London club is willing to consider a sale for the right valuation, thought to be in the around £40 million. Bournemouth are currently leading the chase, with Crystal Palace, Aston Villa, and Brentford also credited with an interest.

Spurs value Brennan Johnson at around £40m.

Rúben Neves

The Portuguese playmaker might be set for a return to the English top flight after a spell in the Saudi Pro League. Now only 28, and with his agreement ending in the summer of 2026, he represents a possible bargain. Clubs such as Manchester United and Liverpool are connected to the player. Additionally, there are rumours from Spanish media that he is willing to accept a pay cut for a move to the Spanish giants.

Marc-André ter Stegen

The veteran Germany goalkeeper is now as the third option at Barcelona under new coach Flick. Having lost his place and had surgery, a winter exit looks highly likely. Villa were initially linked as a possible suitor, but that move now appears off. Instead, interest from Turkey and Saudi Arabia are reportedly expressing curiosity in the keeper.

I. Toney

The proven England centre-forward has continued scoring regularly in Saudi Arabia. A return to the Premier League could boost his fading chances of being in the England World Cup. However, securing a transfer presents major hurdles. Al-Ahli do not wish to part with him, and his reported enormous weekly wages make any move complicated. Tottenham, Manchester United, and Everton are all mentioned as interested parties.

Ivan Toney helped his Saudi club to victory in the domestic cup final.

C. Gallagher

The dynamic midfielder attracted considerable attention in the summer but remained at Atlético Madrid. Having few starts in La Liga this term, he may be keen to find more playing time ahead of the World Cup. United are strongly linked, and a move back to Selhurst Park, a club he shone on loan, remains a option, although wage demands could be a problem.

H. Elliott

Although starring and winning player of the tournament at the U21 Euros in the summer, the talented midfielder has struggled for minutes during his loan spell at Villa. The manager has confirmed the loan move won't become permanent. Because of FIFA regulations about playing for multiple teams in a season, a move back to his parent club before next season appears to be the only available solution.

K. Yildiz

This highly-rated Turkish forward has been in fine form for Juventus this season. With his existing contract nearing its end, many English clubs – including Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, and Tottenham – are keeping tabs on the developments. The Turin club are eager to secure the youngster to a new long-term contract but face a race to keep one of the continent's most promising prospects.

Kees Smit

This much-admired Netherlands teenage midfielder has earned comparisons to Kevin De Bruyne for his style of play. Following starring at the U19 Euros, he has broken into the AZ Alkmaar side. This teenager is widely tipped to make a big-money transfer in January. Newcastle United reportedly are frontrunners, but could face stiff rivalry from the Spanish champions for a deal valued at around twenty-two million pounds.
