🔗 Share this article Regarding Guéhi and Kenan Yildiz – Which Players Are Set to Be Making a Switch during the winter Transfer Window? This January transfer market is always a time of intense speculation and potential major transfers. A number of high-profile footballers are being linked with moves out of their current clubs. Here is a look at a selection of the top figures that are poised to be on the move this month. A. Semenyo Despite Ghana's failure to qualify for the AFCON, this has kept the player in contention, reports suggest a significant move is imminent. The 25-year-old has a contract with a substantial release clause active for a two-week period at the start of the month. Recent reports suggest Manchester City have emerged as his services. Former suitors like Tottenham and Chelsea are said to have turned their attention to other targets, potentially opening the door for clubs like Manchester United or Liverpool to make a last-minute bid. M. Guéhi This England defender has continued to excel for Crystal Palace this season a previous move to Liverpool collapsing. As his deal due to run out in the summer, this represents the club's last chance to secure a transfer fee for their skipper. A host of elite clubs, such as Manchester City and several European giants including Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Bayern Munich, are believed to hold an interest. Yet, a January exit remains unlikely, especially given the manager's reliance on the player. Brennan Johnson The Welsh forward has had starting opportunities hard to come by at Tottenham this term. Despite finishing as the side's leading goalscorer the previous campaign, Johnson has begun only a small number of league matches. Reports suggest the London club would be open to a transfer for the correct price, thought 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 also credited with an interest. Tottenham rate Brennan Johnson at approximately £40m. Rúben Neves The Portugal playmaker could be set for a return to the English top flight after a period in Saudi Arabia. Still only twenty-eight, and with his agreement ending in the summer, he represents a possible opportunity. Clubs like Liverpool and Manchester United are connected to the player. Additionally, there have been suggestions from Spain that he would be willing to accept a reduced salary for a move to the Spanish giants. Marc-André ter Stegen This veteran Germany goalkeeper finds himself as third-choice at Barcelona following new coach Hansi Flick. Having lost his place and undergone an operation, a January exit looks highly likely. Aston Villa were initially mentioned as a potential destination, but that option currently seems off. Instead, clubs from Saudi Arabia and Turkey are thought to be showing curiosity in the 33-year-old. Ivan Toney The proven England centre-forward has kept finding the net regularly in the Middle East. Coming back to the Premier League could boost his fading hopes of being in the national squad. However, arranging a deal poses major challenges. Al-Ahli are reluctant to sell him, and his alleged huge weekly wages make any move difficult. Tottenham, Manchester United, and Everton have all been mentioned as admirers. The striker helped his Saudi club to a win in the domestic cup showpiece. C. Gallagher This energetic English midfielder attracted widespread attention in the summer but remained at Atlético Madrid. With few starts in La Liga this term, he may be eager to secure 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 possibility, although financial constraints could be a stumbling block. H. Elliott Despite excelling and being named player of the tournament at the U21 Euros last summer, this young midfielder has struggled for minutes on loan at Aston Villa. The manager has stated the temporary transfer will not become permanent. Because of specific rules regarding playing for multiple teams in a season, a return to his parent club before next summer seems to be the sole available outcome. K. Yildiz The exciting Turkey attacker has been in fine form for Juventus this term. As his current deal running down, a host of Premier League clubs – such as Tottenham, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Liverpool – are keeping tabs on the situation. The Turin club are eager to secure the 20-year-old to a lengthy agreement but face a battle to keep one of Europe's most promising prospects. Kees Smit The much-admired Dutch teenage midfielder has earned parallels to Kevin De Bruyne for his playing style. Following impressing at the Under-19 European Championship, he has become a regular in the AZ side. The 19-year-old is heavily expected to complete a big-money transfer in January. Newcastle United are believed to be leading the chase, but could face stiff rivalry from Real Madrid for a signing valued at around £22 million.
