Concerning Guéhi and Kenan Yildiz – Who Are Set to Be Making a Switch in the winter Transfer Market?

This winter transfer window is always a period of intense rumour and potential major moves. A number of high-profile stars find themselves linked with moves out of their present clubs. Here is a look at a selection of the key names who could be on the move this month.

Antoine Semenyo

Although Ghana's failure to reach the AFCON, this has kept the player in contention, it appears an important transfer is imminent. The 25-year-old has a deal with a sizeable buy-out clause active for a short period in early January. Recent reports suggest Manchester City look to have won the race for his services. Former suitors such as Tottenham and Chelsea reportedly have moved on to other targets, leaving clubs such as Liverpool or Manchester United to make a late bid.

Marc Guéhi

The English centre-back has impress for Palace this season a summer transfer to Liverpool collapsing. With his contract due to run out in the summer, January is the London club's last opportunity to obtain a fee for their captain. A host of elite clubs, including Manchester City and multiple European giants like Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, and Barcelona, are believed to be interested. Yet, a January exit is considered unlikely, especially given the coach's dependence on the defender.

B. Johnson

This Welsh winger has had starting minutes limited at Spurs this campaign. Although finishing as the club's top scorer last season, he has started only a small number of Premier League matches. It is understood the London outfit is open to a sale for the correct valuation, believed to be in the around forty million pounds. Bournemouth are currently leading the chase, with Aston Villa, Brentford, and Crystal Palace additionally showing an inquiry.

Tottenham value Brennan Johnson at approximately £40m.

Rúben Neves

The Portuguese playmaker could be set for a comeback to the English top flight following a period in Saudi Arabia. Still only twenty-eight, while his contract expiring in the summer, he is a possible bargain. Clubs like Liverpool and Manchester United are linked with the player. Additionally, there are suggestions from Spanish media that he would be prepared to take a pay cut for a move to the Spanish giants.

Marc-André ter Stegen

The experienced German goalkeeper is now as third-choice at Barça under new manager Hansi Flick. Having lost his place and undergone surgery, a January exit seems increasingly likely. Villa were once mentioned as a potential suitor, but that move currently seems off. Instead, interest from Saudi Arabia and Turkey are reportedly expressing interest in the 33-year-old.

Ivan Toney

The proven England centre-forward has continued scoring regularly in the Middle East. Coming back to the Premier League might boost his fading hopes of making the England squad. But, arranging a deal poses major challenges. Al-Ahli do not wish to part with him, and his reported huge salary make any agreement complicated. Everton, Tottenham, and Manchester United are all mentioned as admirers.

Ivan Toney was instrumental as his Saudi club to a win in the domestic cup showpiece.

Conor Gallagher

This dynamic English midfielder attracted widespread interest in the summer but stayed at Atlético. Having limited starts in La Liga this term, he may be keen to secure more playing time ahead of the tournament. Manchester United are heavily linked, and a move back to Selhurst Park, a club he shone on loan, is also a option, although wage constraints could prove a stumbling block.

Harvey Elliott

Despite excelling and winning player of the tournament at the Under-21 European Championship in the summer, the talented midfielder has found it tough for game time during his loan spell at Villa. The manager has confirmed the temporary transfer will not become permanent. Due to FIFA regulations about playing for multiple teams in a campaign, a move back to his parent club before next season seems to be the sole available outcome.

K. Yildiz

This highly-rated Turkish forward is in excellent form for Juventus this season. With his existing contract nearing its end, many Premier League sides – such as Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, and Tottenham – are keeping tabs on the situation. Juventus are eager to tie down the 20-year-old to a new long-term agreement but face a race to retain one of the continent's brightest young talents.

Kees Smit

This highly-touted Dutch midfielder has drawn parallels to a Belgian superstar for his playing style. Following impressing at the U19 Euros, Smit has become a regular in the AZ Alkmaar side. This 19-year-old is heavily expected to make a big-money transfer in January. Newcastle reportedly are leading the chase, but could face stiff competition from Real Madrid for a signing valued at approximately £22 million.
