🔗 Share this article Regarding Marc Guéhi to Yildiz – Who Are Set to Be Making a Switch in the winter Transfer Market? This January recruitment period proves to be a period of feverish rumour and potential big-money moves. Several high-profile stars are being connected to transfers away from their present clubs. We examine a selection of the key names who might be changing clubs this month. A. Semenyo Although the Black Stars' inability to qualify for the AFCON, which has kept the player available, reports suggest a significant move is imminent. The 25-year-old has a deal with a substantial release clause applicable for a brief period in early January. Recent reports indicate Manchester City are now the frontrunners for his signature. Former interested parties like Chelsea and Tottenham are said to have moved on to alternative targets, potentially opening the door for clubs such as Manchester United or Liverpool to make a last-minute move. Marc Guéhi The England centre-back has excel for Palace despite a summer transfer to Anfield falling through. As his deal set to run out in the close season, January is the London club's last chance to secure a transfer fee for their skipper. A host of top sides, such as City and multiple continental powerhouses including Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Bayern Munich, are believed to hold an interest. However, a winter exit is considered unlikely, especially given the manager's dependence on the defender. Brennan Johnson This Welsh forward has found starting opportunities hard to come by at Tottenham this campaign. Despite being the side's top scorer last season, Johnson has started only a handful of league games. It is understood the North London outfit would be open to a transfer for the right price, thought to be in the around forty million pounds. The Cherries are currently at the front of the queue, with Aston Villa, Brentford, and Crystal Palace also credited with an inquiry. Tottenham rate the Welsh international at around £40m. R. Neves The Portugal playmaker could be set for a comeback to the Premier League after a spell in Saudi Arabia. Now only twenty-eight, and with his agreement ending in the summer, he is a potential opportunity. Teams such as Liverpool and Manchester United have been linked with the former Wolves man. Additionally, there are suggestions from Spanish media that he is prepared to accept a reduced salary for a move to the Spanish giants. Marc-André ter Stegen The experienced German shot-stopper is now as third-choice at Barcelona following new manager Flick. Having fallen out of favour and undergone surgery, a winter exit looks highly likely. Aston Villa were initially mentioned as a potential suitor, but that option currently seems unlikely. Instead, interest from Turkey and Saudi Arabia are thought to be showing interest in the 33-year-old. I. Toney This prolific England striker has kept finding the net frequently in the Middle East. A return to the Premier League might enhance his fading hopes of making the England World Cup. However, arranging a deal presents major hurdles. His current club do not wish to part with him, and his reported huge weekly wages render any agreement difficult. Everton, Tottenham, and Manchester United are all mentioned as admirers. The striker helped his Saudi club to victory in the Saudi Super Cup final. Conor Gallagher This dynamic midfielder attracted widespread interest in the off-season but stayed at Atlético Madrid. Having limited starts in Spain this term, he may be eager to secure more minutes ahead of the tournament. Manchester United have been strongly linked, and a return to Crystal Palace, a club he excelled on loan, is also a option, though financial demands could prove a stumbling block. H. Elliott Although excelling and being named the best player award at the U21 Euros last summer, this young player has found it tough for game time during his loan spell at Aston Villa. Unai Emery has confirmed the temporary transfer won't be made permanent. Because of specific rules about playing for multiple teams in a season, a return to Liverpool prior to next summer appears to be the sole viable solution. Kenan Yildiz The highly-rated Turkish forward has been in fine form for the Italian giants this season. With his current contract nearing its end, many English clubs – such as Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, and Tottenham – are keeping tabs on the developments. Juventus are desperate to secure the 20-year-old to a new long-term agreement but are in a battle to keep one of the continent's brightest prospects. K. Smit This much-admired Dutch teenage midfielder has earned comparisons to Kevin De Bruyne for his playing style. After starring at the U19 Euros, he has become a regular in the AZ side. The 19-year-old is widely expected to make a big-money move in January. Newcastle United are believed to be leading the chase, but are facing strong rivalry from Real Madrid for a signing valued at around twenty-two million pounds.
