🔗 Share this article Concerning Guéhi to Yildiz – Who Could Be Making a Switch this January Transfer Window? This January transfer market proves to be a time of feverish speculation and possible big-money deals. Several notable footballers find themselves connected to moves away from their current clubs. We examine a selection of the key figures that might be changing clubs this month. Antoine Semenyo Despite Ghana's failure to reach the AFCON, this has left the player available, it appears a significant transfer is imminent. This Bournemouth attacker has a deal featuring a sizeable release clause active for a short window in early January. Latest reports point to the Premier League champions look to have won the race for his signature. Former suitors like Tottenham and Chelsea are said to have moved on to alternative targets, potentially opening the door for clubs such as Liverpool or Manchester United to attempt a last-minute bid. M. Guéhi The English centre-back has continued to excel for Palace despite a summer transfer to Liverpool falling through. With his deal due to expire in the summer, January is the London club's last opportunity to obtain a fee for their captain. Numerous elite clubs, including City and multiple European giants like Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Bayern Munich, are believed to hold an interest. However, a January departure remains difficult, particularly given the coach's reliance on the defender. B. Johnson This Wales forward has had first-team minutes limited at Tottenham this campaign. Despite being the side's leading goalscorer the previous campaign, Johnson has started just a handful of league matches. Reports suggest the North London outfit is open to a transfer for the right valuation, thought to be in the region of forty million pounds. The Cherries are currently leading the chase, with Aston Villa, Brentford, and Crystal Palace additionally showing an interest. Spurs rate the Welsh international at around £40m. R. Neves The Portugal midfielder could be set for a return to the Premier League following a spell in Saudi Arabia. Still only 28, and with his contract ending in the summer of 2026, he represents a possible opportunity. Teams such as Liverpool and Manchester United have been linked with the former Wolves man. Furthermore, 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 experienced Germany shot-stopper finds himself as the third option at Barça following the coach Flick. Having lost his place and had an operation, a winter departure looks increasingly likely. Villa were once linked as a potential suitor, but that move now appears unlikely. Instead, clubs from Turkey and Saudi Arabia are reportedly expressing interest in the 33-year-old. I. Toney This prolific English striker has continued scoring regularly in Saudi Arabia. A return to the Premier League might boost his fading chances of being in the national World Cup. However, securing a deal poses major challenges. His current club do not wish to sell him, and his alleged enormous weekly wages make any move complicated. Everton, Tottenham, and Manchester United have all been mentioned as admirers. The striker helped Al-Ahli to a win in the Saudi Super Cup final. C. Gallagher The energetic English midfielder attracted widespread interest in the summer but stayed at Atlético. With limited starts in La Liga this term, he is keen to find more minutes ahead of the tournament. United have been heavily linked, and a move back to Crystal Palace, a club he shone on loan, is also a option, although financial constraints could prove a stumbling block. Harvey Elliott Despite excelling and being named the best player award at the Under-21 European Championship last summer, this talented player has found it tough for game time during his loan spell at Aston Villa. The manager has confirmed the temporary transfer will not become permanent. Because of FIFA regulations regarding playing for two clubs in a campaign, a return to Liverpool prior to next summer appears to be the sole available outcome. Kenan Yildiz This highly-rated Turkish attacker has been in fine form for the Italian giants this season. As his existing contract nearing its end, a host of English sides – including Tottenham, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Liverpool – are keeping tabs on the developments. Juventus are desperate to secure the 20-year-old to a lengthy agreement but face a battle to retain one of Europe's brightest young talents. Kees Smit This much-admired Dutch teenage midfielder has drawn parallels to a Belgian superstar for his style of play. Following starring at the Under-19 European Championship, Smit has broken into the AZ Alkmaar first team. The teenager is widely expected to complete a big-money move this month. Newcastle United are believed to be leading the chase, but could face stiff competition from Real Madrid for a deal valued at around twenty-two million pounds.
