After a long time of intense deliberation surrounding potential transfers, the long-awaited January transfer window has finally opened, bringing with it the possibility of turning rumors into reality.
Amidst the excitement, we have compiled a list of the most talked-about transfer prospects that could potentially happen in the upcoming weeks.
Jadon Sancho (Manchester United)
Linked with: Borussia Dortmund
The talented forward from Manchester United, has been consistently linked with a move away from Old Trafford. It has become evident that his future with the club is uncertain, particularly after a falling out with Manchester United manager, Erik ten Hag.
Borussia Dortmund, his former club, has emerged as a potential destination for Sancho. However, wage demands might be a problem.
Conor Gallagher (Chelsea)
Linked with: Tottenham
Despite Conor Gallagher’s terrific season at Chelsea, where he has established himself as a regular starter and even captained the team on several occasions, there are rumors suggesting that he could be on the move in the January transfer window.
Chelsea’s recent significant spending have resulted in the need to balance their financial books, and Gallagher might be one of the players sacrificed to generate funds.
Valued at approximately £50 million, the English midfielder has been linked with a potential transfer to Tottenham Hotspur.
Aaron Ramsdale (Arsenal)
Linked with: Chelsea, Newcastle
English international Aaron Ramsdale was temporarily displaced from his first-team position by David Raya in September. Given the upcoming European Championship next summer, Ramsdale may consider a potential move in the January transfer window to secure consistent playing time and maintain his form at the highest level.
Chelsea and Newcastle have both been linked with a move for Ramsdale.
Ivan Toney (Brentford)
Linked with: Arsenal
Arsenal’s recent loss to West Ham exposed a lack of finishing, as they created numerous chances but failed to convert them into goals. To address this issue, there have been rumors circulating about Arsenal’s interest in signing Ivan Toney from Brentford during the January transfer window.
However, it’s important to note that Ivan Toney was serving an eight-month ban from football due to a breach of the Football Association’s betting rules. If the ban remains in effect, he would not be eligible to play until his suspension is lifted, which is set to happen on 17 January.
