The winter transfer window is typically a period of feverish rumour and possible major deals. Numerous high-profile footballers find themselves linked with moves out of their present teams. Here is a look at some of the key figures that might be on the move this month. A. Semenyo Despite Ghana's failure to reach the Africa Cup of Nations, this has left the forward available, indications are an important transfer is imminent. The 25-year-old has a deal featuring a substantial buy-out clause applicable for a brief window in early January. Latest reports suggest Manchester City have emerged as his services. Former suitors such as Chelsea and Tottenham reportedly have turned their attention to alternative options, leaving clubs like Manchester United or Liverpool to make a late bid. Marc Guéhi This English defender has excel for Crystal Palace despite a summer transfer to Anfield falling through. As his deal set to run out in the close season, January is the London club's last opportunity to obtain a transfer fee for their skipper. Numerous top sides, such as Manchester City and multiple European giants including Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Bayern Munich, reportedly be interested. Yet, a winter exit is considered difficult, especially given the coach's dependence on the player. Brennan Johnson The Welsh winger has found starting opportunities limited at Spurs this campaign. Although being the club's leading goalscorer the previous campaign, Johnson has begun just a small number of Premier League games. Reports suggest the London club is willing to consider a sale for the right price, thought to be in the around £40 million. The Cherries appear to be leading the chase, with Aston Villa, Brentford, and Crystal Palace also showing an inquiry. Tottenham value Brennan Johnson at around forty million pounds. Rúben Neves The Portuguese playmaker could be poised for a return to the Premier League after a period in the Saudi Pro League. Still just 28, and with his contract expiring in the summer, he is a possible opportunity. Clubs like Liverpool and Manchester United have been connected to the player. Furthermore, there are rumours from Spanish media that he is prepared to accept a reduced salary for a switch to the Spanish giants. Marc-André ter Stegen The veteran Germany goalkeeper finds himself as the third option at Barça following the coach Hansi Flick. Having fallen out of favour and had an operation, a winter exit seems increasingly probable. Aston Villa were once linked as a potential suitor, but that move currently seems off. Instead, clubs from Saudi Arabia and Turkey are reportedly showing curiosity in the keeper. Ivan Toney This proven English centre-forward has kept scoring regularly in the Middle East. Coming back to the Premier League might enhance his fading hopes of making the national World Cup. However, arranging a transfer presents significant hurdles. His current club do not wish to part with him, and his alleged enormous weekly wages make any agreement complicated. Everton, Tottenham, and Manchester United are all mentioned as interested parties. Ivan Toney helped his Saudi club to victory in the domestic cup final. Conor Gallagher The energetic midfielder attracted considerable interest in the off-season but remained at Atlético. Having few starting appearances in La Liga this season, he is keen to find more playing time ahead of the World Cup. Manchester United are heavily linked, and a return to Crystal Palace, where he shone on loan, is also a possibility, though financial demands might be a stumbling block. Harvey Elliott Although excelling and winning player of the tournament at the Under-21 European Championship in the summer, this young player has struggled for minutes during his loan spell at Villa. Unai Emery has confirmed the loan move will not be made permanent. Because of specific rules about representing two clubs in a campaign, a return to his parent club prior to next season appears to be the sole viable solution. K. Yildiz This exciting Turkey attacker has been in excellent form for the Italian giants this term. With his existing deal running down, a host of Premier League sides – including Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, and Tottenham – are monitoring the situation. The Turin club are desperate to secure the 20-year-old to a new long-term contract but are in a battle to keep one of the continent's most promising prospects. Kees Smit The much-admired Dutch teenage midfielder has earned comparisons to a Belgian superstar for his style of play. Following impressing at the U19 Euros, he has become a regular in the AZ side. The teenager is heavily tipped to complete a major move this month. Newcastle are believed to be leading the chase, but are facing stiff rivalry from Real Madrid for a signing valued at around £22 million.
