As his contract due to expire in the summer, this represents the London club's final chance to obtain a fee for their captain. Numerous top sides, including Manchester City and several European giants like Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Bayern Munich, reportedly be interested. However, a winter exit remains unlikely, particularly given the coach's dependence on the player. B. Johnson This Welsh forward has found first-team minutes limited at Tottenham this term. Despite being the side's leading goalscorer last season, Johnson has begun just a small number of Premier League matches. Reports suggest the North London club is open to a sale for the right price, believed to be in the region of £40 million. The Cherries appear to be at the front of the queue, with Crystal Palace, Aston Villa, and Brentford additionally credited with an inquiry. Spurs rate Brennan Johnson at around £40m. Rúben Neves The Portugal playmaker might be set for a return to the Premier League following a period in the Saudi Pro League.

Marc-André ter Stegen The experienced Germany shot-stopper finds himself as the third option at Barça under new manager Flick. After fallen out of favour and had an operation, a January departure seems increasingly probable. Villa were initially mentioned as a possible suitor, but that option now appears unlikely. Instead, clubs from Saudi Arabia and Turkey are thought to be showing curiosity in the keeper. I. Toney The prolific England centre-forward has continued scoring regularly in Saudi Arabia. A return to the Premier League could boost his fading chances of being in the England World Cup. But, securing a transfer poses major challenges.

Ivan Toney helped his Saudi club to a win in the Saudi Super Cup showpiece. C. Gallagher This energetic English midfielder drew widespread interest in the off-season but remained at Atlético Madrid. Having limited starting appearances in Spain this term, he is keen to find more playing time ahead of the tournament. United are heavily linked, and a move back to Crystal Palace, where he shone on a temporary deal, remains a possibility, though financial demands might be a problem. Harvey Elliott Although starring and being named player of the tournament at the U21 Euros last summer, this young midfielder has found it tough for game time during his loan spell at Aston Villa.

Because of specific rules about representing multiple teams in a season, a move back to his parent club prior to next season appears to be the sole available solution. K. Yildiz The highly-rated Turkey attacker is in fine form for the Italian giants this season. As his existing contract nearing its end, a host of Premier League sides – such as Tottenham, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Liverpool – are monitoring the developments. The Turin club are desperate to secure the 20-year-old to a lengthy contract but face a race to retain one of the continent's brightest young talents. K. Smit The highly-touted Netherlands midfielder has drawn comparisons to Kevin De Bruyne for his playing style. After impressing at the U19 Euros, Smit has broken into the AZ side. The 19-year-old is widely tipped to complete a big-money transfer this month. Newcastle are believed to be leading the chase, but are facing strong rivalry from the Spanish champions for a signing valued at around twenty-two million pounds.
