This winter recruitment period proves to be a period of intense speculation and potential big-money moves. Several high-profile footballers are being connected to moves out of their present clubs. This article explores some of the major names who might be on the move in January. Antoine Semenyo Although the Black Stars' inability to reach the Africa Cup of Nations, which has left the player available, indications are a significant transfer is close. This Bournemouth attacker has a deal featuring a £65 million buy-out clause applicable for a brief window in early January. Latest developments suggest the Premier League champions are now the frontrunners for his signature. Other interested parties like Chelsea and Tottenham are said to have turned their attention to other options, potentially opening the door for teams such as Manchester United or Liverpool to make a last-minute bid. Marc Guéhi This England defender has excel for Palace despite a summer transfer to Anfield falling through. With his contract set to run out in the close season, January is the London club's last opportunity to secure a transfer fee for their skipper. A host of top sides, including City and several continental powerhouses including Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Bayern Munich, reportedly be interested. However, a winter departure is considered unlikely, especially given the manager's dependence on the player. B. Johnson The Welsh winger has had starting opportunities limited at Spurs this term. Although finishing as the club's leading goalscorer last season, Johnson has begun only a handful of league games. It is understood the London club is willing to consider a sale for the correct valuation, thought to be in the region of £40 million. The Cherries are currently leading the chase, with Aston Villa, Brentford, and Crystal Palace also credited with an interest. Tottenham value Brennan Johnson at approximately £40m. R. Neves The Portugal midfielder could be poised for a return to the English top flight following a spell in Saudi Arabia. Still only 28, while his agreement ending in the summer, he is a potential opportunity. Clubs such as Manchester United and Liverpool have been connected to the player. Furthermore, there are rumours from Spain that he is prepared to accept a pay cut for a switch to Real Madrid. M. ter Stegen This experienced German goalkeeper finds himself as the third option at Barça following new coach Flick. After fallen out of favour and undergone surgery, a winter exit seems highly probable. Aston Villa were once linked as a possible suitor, but that move now appears unlikely. Instead, interest from Turkey and Saudi Arabia are reportedly showing interest in the keeper. I. Toney This prolific English striker has kept finding the net regularly in the Middle East. Coming back to the Premier League could enhance his dwindling hopes of making the England World Cup. However, securing a deal poses major challenges. Al-Ahli are reluctant to part with him, and his alleged enormous weekly wages render any agreement complicated. Tottenham, Manchester United, and Everton are all linked as interested parties. The striker helped Al-Ahli to victory in the domestic cup showpiece. Conor Gallagher The dynamic English midfielder attracted considerable attention in the off-season but remained at Atlético Madrid. With few starts in La Liga this term, he may be eager to find more playing time ahead of the World Cup. United are strongly connected, and a return to Crystal Palace, where he shone on a temporary deal, is also a option, though wage constraints might be a problem. Harvey Elliott Although starring and winning the best player award at the U21 Euros in the summer, this young midfielder has struggled for minutes during his loan spell at Villa. The manager has confirmed the loan move will not be made permanent. Due to FIFA regulations regarding playing for multiple teams in a season, a move back to his parent club prior to next summer appears to be the sole available solution. K. Yildiz The highly-rated Turkey attacker is in excellent form for Juventus this term. With his current contract nearing its end, a host of Premier League clubs – including Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, and Tottenham – are monitoring the developments. Juventus are eager to tie down the 20-year-old to a lengthy agreement but are in a battle to retain one of Europe's brightest prospects. Kees Smit This much-admired Netherlands teenage midfielder has earned parallels to Kevin De Bruyne for his playing style. Following impressing at the U19 Euros, Smit has become a regular in the AZ first team. This teenager is heavily tipped to make a big-money transfer in January. Newcastle United reportedly are frontrunners, but are facing stiff competition from the Spanish champions for a signing valued at around twenty-two million pounds.
