The January transfer window is now in its second week and business is rapidly accelerating towards the middle of the market. It’s usually a troubling time to get a deal done, but that doesn’t prevent some teams from acting quickly to ensure the opportunity to strengthen their squad.
Manchester City have been one of the main talking points after completing the signing of Antoine Semenyo from AFC Bournemouth in a deal worth more than £60 million. In addition to him, there is also the possibility of signing Marc Gehi, who currently has six months left on his contract with Crystal Palace. Arsenal are the latest club to join the race for his signature, with Liverpool and Man City also linked.
Elsewhere, the tightness of the mid-table may force teams to make some moves to have a chance of qualifying for the Champions League. Tottenham could be the busiest of the squad, with injury having a major impact on Thomas Frank’s short-term options.
And of course there are those who are fighting relegation. West Ham are already the busiest side, bringing in two new forwards to replace Nuno Espirito Santo and looking to close the seven-point gap with a possible return to the Championship.
