As the January transfer window approaches, Premier League clubs are gearing up for potential moves to strengthen their squads. Manchester United is at the center of attention, with Marcus Rashford admitting his desire to leave Old Trafford. While United’s new manager, Ruben Amorim, has expressed a wish to retain the forward, the club is prepared to facilitate his departure either in January or beyond. With a loan move emerging as a possible solution, it seems that potential suitors could face challenges in financing a permanent deal. Amorim is also reportedly eyeing players to strengthen his own squad in the upcoming window.
Meanwhile, Liverpool is facing contract uncertainty with key players Mo Salah, Virgil van Dijk, and Trent Alexander-Arnold. All three are nearing the final six months of their contracts, and Real Madrid is increasingly confident of securing Alexander-Arnold’s services. Additionally, the Spanish club is said to be eyeing a move for Van Dijk, further complicating Liverpool’s contract negotiations.
Chelsea, although strong contenders for the title, are expected to see some exits. Players like Ben Chilwell and Carney Chukwuemeka may seek new opportunities for more playing time, while Chelsea could explore options for another goalkeeper. Arsenal, on the other hand, continues to pursue a new forward and is reportedly in talks to sign Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting. The Swedish striker has been impressive with 27 goals in 25 appearances and is being courted by both Arsenal and Manchester United, with Sporting setting a €65 million price tag.
Aston Villa’s Jhon Duran has also caught the eye of Premier League giants, with the Colombian forward, who has scored 12 goals in 25 appearances, being linked with a move. Elsewhere, Arsenal is reportedly finalizing an agreement to sign Las Palmas’ Alberto Moleiro, with Mikel Arteta likening him to Martin Ødegaard.
With the transfer window fast approaching, Premier League clubs are set for a busy January, with significant movement expected across the table.
