The 25-year-old possesses a deal featuring a sizeable release clause applicable for a short period in early January. Recent reports point to Manchester City have emerged as his services.

A host of elite sides, such as City and multiple continental powerhouses like Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Bayern Munich, are believed to be interested. Yet, a January exit remains difficult, particularly given the coach's reliance on the player.

B. Johnson

This Welsh winger has had starting opportunities hard to come by at Spurs this campaign. Despite finishing as the club's leading goalscorer last season, Johnson has begun just a handful of Premier League matches. It is understood the London club would be willing to consider a sale for the correct price, thought to be in the around £40 million. Bournemouth are currently at the front of the queue, with Crystal Palace, Aston Villa, and Brentford also showing an inquiry.

Tottenham value the Welsh international at approximately forty million pounds.

Rúben Neves

This Portuguese playmaker might be poised for a comeback to the Premier League after a spell in the Saudi Pro League. Still just 28, and with his agreement ending in the summer of 2026, he is a possible opportunity. Teams such as Liverpool and Manchester United have been connected to the player. Furthermore, there have been rumours from Spanish media that he is willing to accept a pay cut for a move to Real Madrid.

Marc-André ter Stegen

The veteran Germany goalkeeper finds himself as third-choice at Barça under the manager Flick. After fallen out of favour and had surgery, a January exit looks increasingly likely. Villa were once mentioned as a potential destination, but that option currently seems unlikely. Instead, interest from Turkey and Saudi Arabia are reportedly expressing interest in the keeper.

Ivan Toney

The prolific England striker has continued scoring regularly in the Middle East. Coming back to the Premier League could enhance his dwindling hopes of making the England World Cup. However, securing a deal poses significant hurdles. Al-Ahli are reluctant to sell him, and his alleged huge salary render any agreement difficult. Tottenham, Manchester United, and Everton are all mentioned as interested parties.

The striker was instrumental as Al-Ahli to a win in the domestic cup showpiece.

Conor Gallagher

This dynamic midfielder drew widespread interest in the off-season but stayed at Atlético. Having few starting appearances in Spain this term, he is keen to find more playing time ahead of the World Cup. United are heavily connected, and a move back to Selhurst Park, where he excelled on a temporary deal, is also a possibility, although wage constraints might prove a stumbling block.

Although starring and winning the best player award at the U21 Euros last summer, this young player has struggled for minutes during his loan spell at Aston Villa. The manager has confirmed the temporary transfer won't become permanent. Due to specific rules regarding representing two clubs in a season, a move back to his parent club prior to next summer appears to be the sole available outcome.

K. Yildiz

The highly-rated Turkish forward has been in excellent form for Juventus this season. As his existing contract running down, 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 lengthy agreement but face a race to retain one of the continent's most promising young talents.

K. Smit

The highly-touted Netherlands midfielder has drawn parallels to Kevin De Bruyne for his style of play. After impressing at the Under-19 European Championship, he has become a regular in the AZ Alkmaar side. This 19-year-old is widely expected to make a big-money move in January. Newcastle reportedly are leading the chase, but could face stiff competition from Real Madrid for a signing valued at approximately £22 million.
