🔗 Share this article Concerning Marc Guéhi to Kenan Yildiz – Who Are Set to Be on the Move during the winter Transfer Window? The winter transfer window is typically a period of intense rumour and potential big-money deals. Numerous high-profile footballers are being linked with transfers away from their present clubs. Here is a look at a selection of the key names who might be changing clubs this month. A. Semenyo Despite Ghana's inability to qualify for the Africa Cup of Nations, which has left the forward available, indications are a significant transfer is close. The Bournemouth attacker possesses a deal featuring a sizeable buy-out clause active for a two-week period at the start of the month. Recent reports indicate Manchester City are now the frontrunners for his services. Other interested parties like Tottenham and Chelsea are said to have turned their attention to other options, leaving clubs such as Manchester United or Liverpool to attempt a late move. M. Guéhi The English centre-back has continued to excel for Crystal Palace this season a summer move to Liverpool collapsing. With his contract set to run out in the close season, January is the London club's final chance to secure a transfer fee for their captain. Numerous elite clubs, such as Manchester City and multiple continental powerhouses including Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, and Barcelona, reportedly be interested. However, a winter departure remains unlikely, particularly given the coach's reliance on the player. B. Johnson This Wales forward has had first-team minutes hard to come by at Spurs this campaign. Despite finishing as the side's leading goalscorer the previous campaign, he has begun just a small number of league matches. It is understood the North London club is open to a transfer for the right price, believed to be in the around forty million pounds. The Cherries appear to be leading the chase, with Aston Villa, Brentford, and Crystal Palace also credited with an interest. Tottenham rate Brennan Johnson at approximately £40m. R. Neves This Portugal midfielder could be set for a return to the Premier League following a period in Saudi Arabia. Still only twenty-eight, and with his agreement ending in the summer of 2026, he represents a possible bargain. Clubs like Liverpool and Manchester United are linked with the player. Furthermore, there have been suggestions from Spanish media that he is willing to take a reduced salary for a switch to the Spanish giants. Marc-André ter Stegen The veteran Germany shot-stopper finds himself as third-choice at Barcelona under new coach Flick. After fallen out of favour and had surgery, a January departure seems increasingly likely. Aston Villa were once linked as a possible destination, but that option currently seems unlikely. Instead, clubs from Turkey and Saudi Arabia are thought to be expressing curiosity in the 33-year-old. I. Toney This prolific England centre-forward has continued finding the net regularly in Saudi Arabia. A return to the Premier League might enhance his dwindling hopes of making the England World Cup. However, securing a transfer poses major hurdles. Al-Ahli do not wish to part with him, and his reported enormous weekly wages make any agreement complicated. Everton, Tottenham, and Manchester United are all mentioned as admirers. The striker was instrumental as Al-Ahli to victory in the domestic cup showpiece. Conor Gallagher The dynamic English midfielder drew widespread interest in the off-season but remained at Atlético Madrid. Having few starting appearances in La Liga this term, he is keen to secure more minutes ahead of the tournament. United have been strongly linked, and a return to Crystal Palace, where he shone on loan, remains a possibility, though wage constraints might prove a stumbling block. H. Elliott Despite starring and being named the best player award at the Under-21 European Championship last summer, this talented player has struggled for game time on loan at Villa. Unai Emery has stated the temporary transfer won't become permanent. Due to specific rules regarding representing two clubs in a campaign, a move back to his parent club before next summer seems to be the only viable outcome. K. Yildiz This highly-rated Turkish forward has been in fine form for the Italian giants this term. With his current deal running down, a host of English sides – such as Tottenham, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Liverpool – are monitoring the situation. The Turin club are desperate to secure the 20-year-old to a new long-term agreement but are in a race to retain one of the continent's most promising young talents. Kees Smit This highly-touted Netherlands midfielder has drawn comparisons to a Belgian superstar for his style of play. After impressing at the U19 Euros, Smit has become a regular in the AZ Alkmaar side. This teenager is heavily tipped to make a major move in January. Newcastle United are believed to be frontrunners, but could face stiff competition from the Spanish champions for a deal valued at approximately twenty-two million pounds.
