Regarding Guéhi and Kenan Yildiz – Who Could Be on the Move during the winter Transfer Window?

The January transfer window is typically a time of intense rumour and possible major moves. Several notable footballers are being connected to moves out of their current clubs. We examine a selection of the key names who could be changing clubs this month.

A. Semenyo

Although Ghana's inability to reach the AFCON, this has kept the forward available, reports suggest an important transfer is close. This Bournemouth attacker possesses a contract with a substantial buy-out clause active for a two-week window at the start of the month. Recent developments indicate Manchester City are now the frontrunners for his services. Other interested parties such as Chelsea and Tottenham reportedly have turned their attention to other options, potentially opening the door for clubs such as Liverpool or Manchester United to make a last-minute bid.

Marc Guéhi

The England centre-back has continued to impress for Crystal Palace this season a previous move to Liverpool falling through. With his contract set to expire in the close season, this represents the London club's final opportunity to obtain a transfer fee for their captain. A host of elite sides, such as City and multiple European giants like Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Bayern Munich, reportedly be interested. However, a winter exit is considered difficult, especially given the coach's reliance on the defender.

B. Johnson

The Welsh forward has had first-team minutes hard to come by at Tottenham this term. Despite being the club's leading goalscorer last season, Johnson has begun just a handful of league games. It is understood the London club would be willing to consider a sale for the right price, believed to be in the region of £40 million. Bournemouth are currently at the front of the queue, with Crystal Palace, Aston Villa, and Brentford also credited with an interest.

Tottenham value the Welsh international at approximately forty million pounds.

R. Neves

This Portugal playmaker might be poised for a comeback to the English top flight following a spell in the Saudi Pro League. Still only 28, and with his agreement expiring in the summer of 2026, he is a possible opportunity. Teams such as Manchester United and Liverpool have been linked with the former Wolves man. Additionally, there have been suggestions from Spain that he is willing to take a pay cut for a switch to the Spanish giants.

Marc-André ter Stegen

The veteran Germany shot-stopper finds himself as the third option at Barça under the manager Flick. Having lost his place and had an operation, a January departure seems increasingly likely. Villa were initially mentioned as a possible suitor, but that option currently seems off. Instead, interest from Turkey and Saudi Arabia are reportedly expressing interest in the keeper.

I. Toney

The prolific English centre-forward has kept scoring regularly in Saudi Arabia. A return to the Premier League could boost his dwindling hopes of being in the England squad. However, arranging a transfer poses major hurdles. His current club do not wish to sell him, and his reported enormous weekly wages render any agreement difficult. Tottenham, Manchester United, and Everton are all linked as admirers.

Ivan Toney helped his Saudi club to a win in the domestic cup showpiece.

Conor Gallagher

The dynamic midfielder attracted considerable attention in the summer but remained at Atlético Madrid. With limited starting appearances in Spain this season, he is keen to find more minutes ahead of the tournament. Manchester United are strongly linked, and a return to Selhurst Park, a club he excelled on loan, remains a option, although financial constraints could prove a problem.

H. Elliott

Despite excelling and winning the best player award at the U21 Euros in the summer, this talented player has struggled for game time on loan at Villa. Unai Emery has confirmed the temporary transfer will not be made permanent. Due to FIFA regulations regarding playing for multiple teams in a campaign, a return to Liverpool prior to next season appears to be the only viable solution.

Kenan Yildiz

The highly-rated Turkey forward has been in fine form for Juventus this season. With his current deal running down, a host of English sides – including Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, and Tottenham – are keeping tabs on the developments. Juventus are eager to tie down the youngster to a lengthy contract but face a race to retain one of the continent's brightest prospects.

K. Smit

This much-admired Dutch teenage midfielder has earned comparisons to a Belgian superstar for his playing style. After impressing at the Under-19 European Championship, he has become a regular in the AZ side. This 19-year-old is widely tipped to complete a major move this month. Newcastle United reportedly are frontrunners, but are facing strong competition from the Spanish champions for a signing priced at approximately £22 million.
