Concerning Marc Guéhi and Kenan Yildiz – Which Players Are Set to Be on the Move this winter Transfer Market?

This winter transfer market proves to be a time of intense speculation and possible big-money deals. A number of prominent stars find themselves connected to moves away from their present teams. Here is a look at a selection of the key names that could be on the move this month.

Antoine Semenyo

Although the Black Stars' inability to qualify for the Africa Cup of Nations, which has kept the forward in contention, reports suggest a significant move is close. This 25-year-old has a contract featuring a £65 million buy-out clause active for a brief window at the start of the month. Recent reports indicate the Premier League champions look to have won the race for his services. Former suitors like Tottenham and Chelsea are said to have turned their attention to other options, potentially opening the door for clubs such as Liverpool or Manchester United to make a late move.

M. Guéhi

This English defender has impress for Palace despite a previous move to Anfield collapsing. With his contract set to run out in the close season, this represents the club's final opportunity to obtain a fee for their skipper. Numerous top sides, such as City and several continental powerhouses like Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, and Barcelona, are believed to be interested. Yet, a winter exit is considered unlikely, especially given the coach's reliance on the player.

B. Johnson

This Welsh winger has found starting opportunities hard to come by 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 North London outfit would be open to a transfer for the right price, believed to be in the around forty million pounds. The Cherries are currently at the front of the queue, with Crystal Palace, Aston Villa, and Brentford additionally showing an interest.

Spurs rate the Welsh international at around £40m.

R. Neves

The Portugal playmaker might be set for a return to the Premier League after a spell in the Saudi Pro League. Still only 28, while his agreement ending in the summer of 2026, he represents a potential opportunity. Clubs like Liverpool and Manchester United are linked with the player. Furthermore, there have been suggestions from Spain that he is willing to accept a pay cut for a switch to the Spanish giants.

M. ter Stegen

The veteran German shot-stopper is now as third-choice at Barça following the manager Flick. Having lost his place and undergone an operation, a January exit looks highly likely. Aston Villa were once mentioned as a possible suitor, but that move now appears unlikely. Instead, interest from Turkey and Saudi Arabia are reportedly showing interest in the keeper.

I. Toney

This prolific England centre-forward has continued finding the net regularly in Saudi Arabia. Coming back to the Premier League could boost his fading hopes of making the England squad. But, securing a deal presents major hurdles. His current club are reluctant to sell him, and his alleged huge salary make any agreement difficult. Everton, Tottenham, and Manchester United are all linked as admirers.

Ivan Toney was instrumental as Al-Ahli to a win in the Saudi Super Cup showpiece.

C. Gallagher

The dynamic English midfielder drew widespread attention in the off-season but stayed at Atlético. With limited starts in Spain this season, he may be eager to secure more minutes ahead of the tournament. Manchester United have been heavily connected, and a move back to Crystal Palace, a club he excelled on loan, remains a possibility, although financial constraints could be a stumbling block.

H. Elliott

Despite excelling and being named the best player award at the U21 Euros in the summer, this young midfielder has found it tough for game time on loan at Villa. The manager has stated the loan move won't be made permanent. Due to FIFA regulations regarding playing for two clubs in a season, a return to Liverpool prior to next summer seems to be the only available solution.

Kenan Yildiz

The highly-rated Turkish attacker has been in excellent form for the Italian giants this season. With his existing contract nearing its end, 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 tie down the youngster to a lengthy contract but face a race to retain one of the continent's most promising prospects.

K. Smit

The much-admired Dutch midfielder has earned parallels to a Belgian superstar for his style of play. Following starring at the U19 Euros, he has become a regular in the AZ side. The 19-year-old is heavily tipped to make a major transfer this month. Newcastle reportedly are leading the chase, but could face strong rivalry from Real Madrid for a deal valued at approximately £22 million.
