🔗 Share this article Concerning Guéhi and Kenan Yildiz – Which Players Could Be on the Move this winter Transfer Market? This winter transfer window proves to be a period of feverish speculation and possible major deals. Numerous notable players find themselves linked with moves out of their current clubs. Here is a look at some of the major figures that might be changing clubs in January. A. Semenyo Although the Black Stars' failure to reach the AFCON, which has kept the forward available, indications are an important transfer is imminent. This Bournemouth attacker possesses a deal with a sizeable release clause active for a two-week period in early January. Latest reports point to Manchester City look to have won the race for his services. Former suitors like Tottenham and Chelsea reportedly have turned their attention to other options, potentially opening the door for clubs such as Manchester United or Liverpool to make a last-minute bid. M. Guéhi The England defender has continued to excel for Palace despite a summer move to Liverpool collapsing. As his deal due to expire in the close season, January is the London club's final chance to secure a fee for their captain. A host of elite sides, such as City and several continental powerhouses like Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Bayern Munich, are believed to hold an interest. However, a January exit is considered difficult, especially given the coach's dependence on the player. Brennan Johnson The Wales winger has found starting opportunities limited at Spurs this term. Despite being the side's leading goalscorer last season, he has begun just a handful of league matches. Reports suggest the North London outfit would be willing to consider a sale for the right price, believed to be in the region of forty million pounds. The Cherries are currently leading the chase, with Crystal Palace, Aston Villa, and Brentford also showing an inquiry. Spurs value Brennan Johnson at around £40m. Rúben Neves This Portuguese playmaker could be poised for a return to the English top flight following a spell in the Saudi Pro League. Still just 28, and with his agreement expiring in the summer, he represents a potential opportunity. Clubs such as Liverpool and Manchester United are connected to the player. Furthermore, there have been rumours from Spanish media that he is prepared to take a reduced salary for a move to the Spanish giants. Marc-André ter Stegen The experienced German shot-stopper finds himself as the third option at Barcelona under new coach Flick. Having lost his place and undergone surgery, a winter departure looks increasingly likely. Aston Villa were once linked as a potential suitor, but that move now appears off. Instead, interest from Saudi Arabia and Turkey are reportedly expressing interest in the 33-year-old. I. Toney The prolific English centre-forward has continued scoring regularly in Saudi Arabia. A return to the Premier League might enhance his dwindling hopes of making the national World Cup. However, securing a transfer presents major challenges. Al-Ahli are reluctant to sell him, and his alleged huge weekly wages render any move difficult. Everton, Tottenham, and Manchester United are all mentioned as interested parties. The striker was instrumental as Al-Ahli to a win in the Saudi Super Cup showpiece. Conor Gallagher This energetic English midfielder attracted widespread interest in the summer but stayed at Atlético Madrid. Having limited starting appearances in La Liga this season, he may be eager to find more minutes ahead of the World Cup. Manchester United have been heavily connected, and a return to Selhurst Park, a club he shone on a temporary deal, is also a option, although wage constraints might be a problem. Harvey Elliott Despite excelling and being named the best player award at the U21 Euros in the summer, this young midfielder has found it tough for minutes on loan at Aston Villa. The manager has confirmed the temporary transfer will not become permanent. Because of specific rules about playing for two clubs in a campaign, a return to Liverpool before next summer seems to be the sole available outcome. K. Yildiz The exciting Turkey attacker is in excellent form for the Italian giants this season. As his current deal running down, a host of English sides – including Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, and Tottenham – are keeping tabs on the situation. The Turin club are eager to tie down the youngster to a lengthy contract but are in a battle to retain one of the continent's most promising prospects. Kees Smit The highly-touted Netherlands teenage midfielder has drawn parallels to a Belgian superstar for his style of play. Following starring at the Under-19 European Championship, Smit has become a regular in the AZ side. The 19-year-old is heavily tipped to make a big-money move this month. Newcastle are believed to be frontrunners, but could face stiff rivalry from Real Madrid for a signing valued at around £22 million.
