🔗 Share this article Concerning Guéhi and Kenan Yildiz – Which Players Might Be Making a Switch during the winter Transfer Market? The January transfer window is typically a time of feverish speculation and possible major deals. A number of high-profile footballers are being linked with transfers out of their present clubs. Here is a look at some of the key names who are poised to be changing clubs this month. A. Semenyo Although Ghana's inability to qualify for the AFCON, which has left the forward in contention, indications are an important transfer is close. This Bournemouth attacker possesses a deal featuring a substantial release clause applicable for a brief window in early January. Latest reports point to Manchester City are now the frontrunners for his signature. Former interested parties like Tottenham and Chelsea reportedly have moved on to other targets, potentially opening the door for teams like Manchester United or Liverpool to attempt a late move. Marc Guéhi The English centre-back has continued to impress for Palace despite a previous move to Anfield falling through. As his contract due to run out in the summer, this represents the London club's final chance to secure a transfer fee for their captain. A host of top clubs, including City and multiple continental powerhouses including Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, and Barcelona, are believed to hold an interest. Yet, a January exit remains unlikely, particularly given the manager's dependence on the defender. B. Johnson The Wales winger has had first-team minutes hard to come by at Tottenham this term. Although finishing as the side's top scorer the previous campaign, he has begun only a small number of Premier League matches. Reports suggest the North London outfit would be open to a sale for the correct price, believed to be in the region of £40 million. The Cherries are currently leading the chase, with Crystal Palace, Aston Villa, and Brentford additionally credited with an inquiry. Tottenham rate Brennan Johnson at approximately £40m. R. Neves The Portugal playmaker could be poised for a return to the Premier League following a spell in the Saudi Pro League. Now just 28, and with his agreement ending in the summer, he is a potential bargain. Clubs like Manchester United and Liverpool have been connected to the former Wolves man. Furthermore, there have been rumours from Spain that he would be prepared to take a pay cut for a move to the Spanish giants. Marc-André ter Stegen This veteran German shot-stopper is now as the third option at Barcelona following new coach Flick. After fallen out of favour and undergone surgery, a January exit looks highly probable. Aston Villa were initially mentioned as a possible destination, but that move currently seems unlikely. Instead, interest from Saudi Arabia and Turkey are thought to be showing curiosity in the 33-year-old. I. Toney This proven England centre-forward has kept finding the net frequently in Saudi Arabia. A return to the Premier League could enhance his fading chances of being in the England squad. But, arranging a transfer presents major challenges. His current club are reluctant to sell him, and his reported enormous weekly wages render any move complicated. Tottenham, Manchester United, and Everton have all been mentioned as admirers. The striker helped his Saudi club to victory in the Saudi Super Cup final. C. Gallagher The energetic English midfielder drew considerable attention in the off-season but stayed at Atlético. Having few starting appearances in Spain this season, he is keen to find more minutes ahead of the World Cup. Manchester United are strongly linked, and a move back to Crystal Palace, a club he shone on loan, is also a possibility, though wage demands might prove a problem. Harvey Elliott Although starring and being named player of the tournament at the Under-21 European Championship last summer, the talented player has found it tough for minutes during his loan spell at Villa. The manager has confirmed the loan move won't be made permanent. Due to FIFA regulations about representing two clubs in a campaign, a move back to Liverpool before next summer appears to be the sole viable outcome. K. Yildiz The highly-rated Turkey forward is in excellent form for Juventus this season. As his current deal nearing its end, many Premier League clubs – including Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, and Tottenham – are keeping tabs on the situation. The Turin club are desperate to secure the youngster to a lengthy agreement but are in a battle to retain one of Europe's brightest young talents. K. Smit The much-admired Dutch 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. The 19-year-old is widely expected to complete a big-money move in January. Newcastle are believed to be frontrunners, but could face stiff rivalry from Real Madrid for a signing priced at approximately twenty-two million pounds.
