Ademola Lookman (9th Jan)
Southampton are eyeing a move for Everton winger Ademola Lookman, who is open to leaving Goodison Park to get regular game time. The 21-year-old was linked with a move back to RB Leipzig in the summer, but the deal never came to fruition.
Rafael Camacho (9th Jan)
Liverpool right-back Rafael Camacho looks set to leave Anfield – just days after making his full first-team debut in Monday’s FA Cup defeat to Wolves. Sporting Lisbon are reportedly edging closer to agreeing a deal for the 18-year-old.
Matt Doherty (9th Jan)
Tottenham are monitoring Wolves full-back Matt Doherty ahead of a possible move for the 26-year-old. However, the Irishman looks likely to be signing a new contract at Molineux in the coming weeks, potentially doubling his current wages.
Callum Hudson-Odoi (9th Jan)
Bayern Munich have increased their bid for Chelsea youngster Callum Hudson-Odoi to £35m, after their initial £30m offer was rejected by the Blues. The 18-year-old played in Tuesday’s Carabao Cup loss to Tottenham but has reiterated his desire to leave Stamford Bridge.
Tammy Abraham (9th Jan)
After turning down a move to Wolves on loan, opting to stay put at Aston Villa, for now at least, Crystal Palace are interested in offering the Englishman a loan move to Selhurst Park. Roy Hodgson’s side have been on the hunt for a striker throughout the window so far.
Mauro Icardi (9th Jan)
Mauro Icardi, the Inter Milan striker, is reportedly Roman Abramovich’s choice for a new front man, however, with the 25-year-old being top of his wish-list. The Chelsea owner supposedly wants to sign the forward during January and then offload the out of favour Alvaro Morata.
Gonzalo Higuain (9th Jan)
Chelsea are closing in on the signing of Gonzalo Higuain from AC Milan, according to reports in Spain. The Argentinian worked with Maurizio Sarri at Napoli and the Blues are very keen to add a new forward to their squad.
James McCarthy (10th Jan)
Bournemouth have expressed an interest in signing James McCarthy on loan from Everton. The midfielder has found himself out of favour under Marco Silva this season, having recently recovered from a broken leg and due to being pushed down the pecking order by summer arrivals.
Alvaro Morata (10th Jan)
Another day, another Alvaro Morata update. Reports suggest Atletico Madrid have now joined the race for the Spaniard. The La Liga side are keen to sign the striker on loan until the end of the season.
James Tarkowski (10th Jan)
Liverpool are considering a loan move for centre-back James Tarkowski, according to reports. Jurgen Klopp is severely depleted at the back, with three first team central defenders all out injured. However, Burnley have supposedly slapped a £50m price tag on his head to ward off any interest.
Hector Herrera (10th Jan)
Arsenal will look to Porto’s Hector Herrera to replace the likely outgoing Aaron Ramsey. The 28-year-old Mexican could sign for the Gunners on a free transfer with his contract coming to an end in Portugal.
Aaron Ramsey (10th Jan)
Aaron Ramsey has reportedly agreed a deal worth £36m with Juventus and will join the Serie A club in June on a free transfer. The Welshman’s contract ends this summer and it’s thought Unai Emery made it clear he wasn’t part of his long-term plans.
Declan Rice (10th Jan)
Manchester City have been looking for a Fernandinho replacement for a while now and it seems West Ham’s Declan Rice could be the man they’ve identified as the Brazilian’s successor. Pep Guardiola’s side will likely have to pay a handsome fee for the 19-year-old.
Kalidou Koulibaly (10th Jan)
Real Madrid are looking to pip Manchester United to the signing of Kalidou Koulibaly and are reportedly preparing to offer around £90m for the Napoli centre-back. The Senegal international has been linked with a move to Old Trafford for quite some time.
Shinji Okazaki (11th Jan)
Huddersfield have had a bid for Leicester City striker Shinji Okazaki turned down. David Wagner’s side have a clear issue with scoring goals and are supposedly keen to address the problem. The Foxes, however, do not want to lose the Japanese forward – for now at least.
Odion Ighalo (11th Jan)
Odion Ighalo, remember him? The Nigerian reportedly wants to return to the Premier League during January, after leaving Watford back in 2017 to join Chinese Super League’s Changchun Yatai. The CSL side are apparently set on recouping the £20m they paid for the striker.
Adrien Rabiot (11th Jan)
Bayern Munich are trying to hijack Barcelona’s deal for Adrien Rabiot, which was reportedly agreed last week. The Bundesliga side are looking into the possibility of signing him this month. The Frenchman is a free agent as of the summer and is keen to leave Paris Saint-Germain.
Divock Origi (11th Jan)
Wolves are interested in signing Divock Origi from Liverpool. The Midlands club reportedly want another striker to add to their squad and the Belgian may be surplus to requirements at Anfield. The 23-year-old scored against Wanderers in this week’s FA Cup tie between the two sides.
Philippe Coutinho (11th Jan)
Barcelona could also be looking to offload Philippe Coutinho in the summer, with the Brazilian not being a big hit with the fan base. It’s thought that any sale would be in order to try and facilitate a return to Spain for Neymar.
Michy Batshuayi (11th Jan)
Everton are in the hunt for Michy Batshuayi as Toffees boss Marco Silva looks to add more firepower to his squad. Reports suggest, however, that the Merseysiders may only be keen on a deal if it can be a permanent one. Batshuayi’s loan deal at Valencia was cut short after a disappointing spell in La Liga.
Malcom (11th Jan)
As part of Barcelona’s offer to Chelsea, the La Liga side have proposed that Malcom moves in the opposite direction. The 21-year-old doesn’t appear to have settled well since moving to the Nou Camp from Bordeaux.
Willian (11th Jan)
Chelsea have received an approach by Barcelona for their Brazilian winger Willian. The 30-year-old has been wanted by the Catalan giants for a number of windows now and was close to leaving during Antonio Conte’s spell at Stamford Bridge.
Callum Wilson (12th Jan)
With numerous clubs harbouring for his star striker, Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe has stated that Callum Wilson is not for sale at any price. It’s understandable why, too – the forward has scored just under a third of Bournemouth’s 31 Premier League goals this season.
Kiko Casilla (12th Jan)
The veteran Real Madrid goalkeeper is being pursued by Leeds United. As the Championship club make their assault on the top spots of the division in an effort to gain promotion to the Premier League, it is no secret that they are keen to add an experienced shot-stopper to their ranks. Casilla, 32, was a Real Madrid youth product who spent some time at Espanyol, before returning to the Bernabeu in 2015.
Alvaro Morata (12th Jan)
Alvaro Morata is reportedly being watched by… Barcelona? The Catalan outfit are said to be in the market for a new striker, and the Chelsea man has been identified as a possible option. Morata would become the latest player in a litany of stars to have played for both Real Madrid and Barcelona.
David Luiz (12th Jan)
David Luiz is reportedly set to return to Benfica should his deal be allowed to expire at Chelsea. The Blues are not understood to have offered the Brazilian international a new contract, and a free transfer back to Portugal is reportedly one of the likeliest outcomes for the 31-year-old’s immediate future.
Yannick Carrasco (12th Jan)
Yannick Carrasco’s proposed move to Arsenal could stall over wage demands. Currently playing in the Chinese Super League, the Belgian winger is earning £170,000-per-week. Carrasco would stand to become one of the highest paid players at the Emirates if he was insistent he remain on that wage, else he might be left to play his trade in East Asia…
Michy Batshuayi (12th Jan)
Michy Batshuayi has a route out of his present misery, supposedly. The Belgian striker has found life on loan at Valencia difficult, and Chelsea are apparently ready to sell him to Monaco on a permanent deal. Thierry Henry’s side have struggled for a regular source of goals this year, and Batshuayi could provide just that.
Gonzalo Higuain (12th Jan)
Staying with goalscorers, Chelsea are reportedly still prioritising Gonzalo Higuain. The forward is currently on loan at Milan from Juventus, but would supposedly be available to sign permanently from the Serie A champions. Maurizio Sarri hasn’t given up on the hope of reuniting with the front-man in January.
Harry Kane (12th Jan)
The Spurs star has attracted serious interest from Real Madrid, but he won’t be making the move to Spain on the cheap. Reports are suggesting Los Blancos have been quoted a price of £310 million for the striker by the North Londoners, suggesting the La Liga giants will have to look elsewhere to find the successor to Karim Benzema.
Aaron Ramsey (13th Jan)
Arsenal have placed a £18m price tag on Aaron Ramsey’s head this month, with Italian giants Juventus looking to sign the Welshman before the end of his contract at The Emirates. Ramsey has reportedly agreed terms with Juventus over a summer transfer.
Frenkie De Jong (13th Jan)
Tottenham are set to challenge PSG to the signing of Ajax star Frenkie De Jong. PSG have made an offer for the midfielder, with Tottenham now ready to match it. De Jong has impressed for Ajax over the past year and is regarded as one of the most promising young midfielders in Europe.
Christian Eriksen (13th Jan)
Real Madrid are set to bid for Tottenham midfielder Christian Eriksen in the summer. The Dane will have one year left on his Spurs contract and Real Madrid are hoping to secure a bargain deal. Eriksen has four goals and seven assists in the Premier League so far this season.
Denis Suarez (13th Jan)
Denis Suarez is poised to complete his move to Arsenal in the coming days. Arsenal are on the verge of sealing a loan deal for Suarez, with the view to a permanent signing in the summer. The Spanish midfielder has been heavily linked to Arsenal over the past few months.
Gonzalo Higuain (13th Jan)
Chelsea have failed in their attempts to land Juventus striker Gonzalo Higuain by offering Alvaro Morata in exchange. Juventus have rejected the deal, as they look for a transfer fee in return for the Argentine forward. Higuain is currently on loan to AC Milan, but has told the club he wants to end his spell at the San Siro this month.
Callum Hudson-Odoi (13th Jan)
Chelsea winger Callum Hudson-Odoi has told the club that he wants to sign for Bayern Munich this month. Chelsea have rejected several offers from the German giants, but Hudson-Odoi is very keen on the switch to the Bundesliga – to follow the path of Jadon Sancho.
Allan (13th Jan)
Manchester City are eyeing a potential swoop for Napoli holding midfielder Allan. The Blues are looking for a long-term replacement to fill Fernandinho’s boots and have earmarked Allan as a target. The Brazilian has been in impressive form for Napoli this season.
Philippe Coutinho (13th Jan)
Despite recent reports claiming that he is unhappy in Spain, Philippe Coutinho has decided that he wants to stay at Barcelona this month. Manchester United are thought to be interested in a deal for the Brazil international, who moved to Spain from Liverpool in January 2018.
Ryan Babel (14th Jan)
Former Liverpool winger Ryan Babel is supposedly on the verge of completing a move to Premier League strugglers Fulham. The Dutchman currently plys his trade in Turkey with Besiktas.
Pedro Obiang (14th Jan)
West Ham midfielder Pedro Obiang is a wanted man. Reports suggest both Lille and Fiorentina are pursuing the Guinea international. The 26-year-old has made 14 league appearances this season.
Fernando Llorente (14th Jan)
Barcelona are reportedly weighing up a move for Tottenham’s Fernando Llorente. The Spaniard is desperately short of game time at the London club, making only a handful of league appearances this season.
David Brooks (14th Jan)
Bournemouth could offer David Brooks a new and improved deal to attempt to fend off reported interest in the Welshman from Manchester United and Spurs. The 21-year-old has had an impressive debut season in the Premier League.
Milan Skriniar (14th Jan)
Reported Manchester United target Milan Skriniar is apparently “out of everybody’s price range” according to Inter Milan coach Luciano Spalletti. The Slovakian has been linked with a move to Old Trafford constantly in recent transfer windows.
Tanguy Ndombele (14th Jan)
A possible replacement for Gueye could be Lyon midfielder Tanguy Ndombele. The Toffees are reportedly the latest club to show interest in the Frenchman, but may be put off by the £75m price tag the Ligue 1 club have put on his head.
Idrissa Gueye (14th Jan)
Paris Saint-Germain are keen to sign Idrissa Gueye from Everton. The French side are looking for a possible replacement for the outgoing Adrien Rabiot. The Blues aren’t thought to be happy to sell the midfielder, but if his price is met, reports suggest they’d consider doing so.
Nathan Ake (14th Jan)
Chelsea are also reportedly interested in another Cherries player – centre-back Nathan Ake. The London side sold the Dutchman two years ago but are now open to re-signing him to bolster their defensive options.
Callum Wilson (14th Jan)
Bournemouth are willing to sell striker Callum Wilson to Chelsea for £75m, according to reports. It’s thought the Blues are keen on the Englishman, but it remains to be seen whether they’ll pay 25 times what the South Coast club paid for the 26-year-old back in 2014.
Arnaut Danjuma Groeneveld (15th Jan)
Liverpool are ready to rival Spurs in the race to sign Arnaut Danjuma Groeneveld from Club Brugge, according to reports. Groeneveld has not featured for his side since October after sustaining a long-term ankle injury.

Mario Balotelli (15th Jan)
Ligue 1 side Marseille are still keen on signing Mario Balotelli but reports suggest they’re struggling to agree a salary with the Italian. The striker currently plays for Nice but his contract comes to an end in June this year. Why always him?
Eden Hazard (15th Jan)
Chelsea have named their price for Eden Hazard and it’s actually not as eye watering as you may imagine. Reports suggest £100m from Real Madrid will get the move over the line, should the Belgian inform the club he wishes to leave.
Marko Arnautovic (15th Jan)
West Ham’s resolve is set to be tested this week, with Shanghai SIPG planning on raising their offer for Marko Arnautovic to £45m. The Austrian international appeared to wave goodbye to the London Stadium in the win over Arsenal on Saturday, prompting plenty of conclusions to be made.

Jack Clarke (16th Jan)
Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuttl is supposedly interested in signing Jack Clarke from Leeds. The 18-year-old has been impressive this year under Marcelo Bielsa, culminating in a top drawer performance against Derby County last week that certainly raised a few eyebrows…

Olivier Giroud (16th Jan)

Scott McTominay (17th Jan)
Celtic are interested in signing Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay on loan this month.

He’s had far less impact this campaign, however.

Michy Batshuayi (17th Jan)
Chelsea are keen to sell striker Michy Batshuayi to Everton in a deal worth £40m, according to reports.

However, it’s thought the player is ‘desperate’ to join Monaco.
Frenkie De Jong (17th Jan)
Manchester City could be set to miss out on Ajax star Frenkie De Jong as PSG edge ever closer to signing the young Dutchman.
