January Premier League Transfer Window Tracker

Tuesday, January 30 - Conor Gallagher to Spurs links persist

Even though he's become a key figure for Chelsea this season, Conor Gallagher could still be on the move in January. According to a report from The Times, Tottenham are weighing up a late bid for the 23-year-old England international. Gallagher looked like he would leave Chelsea in the summer but has battled his way to becoming a regular at Chelsea with injuries to others working in his favor. However the fact that the academy product being sold would help Chelsea balance their huge year of spending is something which can't be overlooked. Per the report, Chelsea are willing to sell Gallagher this month and Tottenham may make their move if they can sell Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg who is attracting interest from several clubs across Europe. Gallagher is probably a better fit for Tottenham's style of play than Chelsea and with Enzo Fernandez, Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia around he should perhaps move on now and become a regular at Spurs to boost his chances of representing England at EURO 2024. That said, Gallagher is Chelsea through and through and has waited his entire career and come back from several successful loan spells to become a regular at his boyhood club like he is now. These links won't go away and Gallagher is developing into a top two-way central midfielder. - Joe Prince-Wright

Sunday, January 28 - Brentford beat Spurs to Antonio Nusa signing

Our partners in the UK at Sky Sports say that Brentford have won the race to sign Norwegian teenager Antonio Nusa from Club Brugge. Per the report, Brentford will pay almost $32 million for Nusa, 18, and will loan him back to Club Brugge for the rest of this season. It is believed that Nusa preferred a move to Brentford over Tottenham so he could get regular minutes right away in the Premier League. The tricky winger is an exceptional talent and is the perfect profile of player for Brentford as they pluck gems who are on the rise and are dynamic and direct in attack. Nusa loves to get on the ball and drifts inside to make things happen but the most 'Brentford thing' about him is that he loves to whip in dangerous crosses and Brentford's other forwards and midfielders should thrive on that quality. - Joe Prince-Wright

Saturday, January 27 - Howe update on Almiron situation

Eddie Howe has said that Miguel Almiron has a 'genuine illness' and that is why he didn't play in Newcastle's FA Cup win at Fulham on Saturday. Howe added that he would 'like to keep him' amid reported interest from Saudi Arabian side Al-Shabab. Howe was also asked about Newcastle's situation in the final days of the window, with many reports saying they will have to sell players in order to comply with financial fair play regulations: "It’s difficult, I’m not in hourly contact with what’s going on and I’m a step removed. There is a possibility someone could leave. That hasn’t changed." So, it seems someone is going to leave Newcastle late in this window and it seems likely that someone will be Almiron. The 29-year-old had a superb campaign last season but with Newcastle having to try and raise some cash and move players on, they'd rather lose Almiron than Bruno Guimaraes, Kieran Trippier or Alexander Isak as that trio have also been linked with moves away. - Joe Prince-Wright

Friday, January 26 - Brighton look to add Leicester City's Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall was one of the breakout stars of Leicester City's final Premier League season, and David Ornstein says he could return to the division even before his likely-to-be promoted Foxes. Leicester is looking for around $35-40 million for the 25-year-old all-action center midfielder, author of more than one terrific PL goals but known more for his work in the engine room. He has nine goals and nine assists in the Championship this season, and would give Roberto De Zerbi terrific depth both domestically and abroad. — Nick Mendola

Friday, January 26 - West Ham seal Kalvin Phillips loan

Updating a previous post, Kalvin Phillips is set to join West Ham's strong midfield. He'll jockey with Lucas Paqueta, James Ward-Prowse, and Edson Alvarez for playing time as the Irons bid to finish in a European place on the Premier League table and win the Europa League. — Nick Mendola

Tuesday, January 23 - Gio Reyna Reyna to Nottingham Forest on loan?

USMNT star Gio Reyna could be headed to the Premier League as Nottingham Forest and Borussia reportedly discuss a loan deal for the 21-year-old attacker, whose contract is set to expire in 18 months. Check out the full report, with analysis, here.

Tuesday, January 23 - Kalvin Phillips heading to the Hammers?

It appears that the great race to sign Kalvin Phillips on loan has been won by West Ham, with a report from The Daily Mail saying a deal is close to being confirmed. Phillips is set to join West Ham on loan until the end of the season and this seems like a good fit for him, City and the Hammers. He will slot straight into West Ham's midfield alongside Edson Alvarez and this move would allow James Ward-Prowse to play further forward centrally and Tomas Soucek could be the odd man out. Phillips needs regular minutes to keep his place in the England squad and the fact that Newcastle, Crystal Palace, Juventus and many others wanted to sign him tells you about the quality he has. Now he has to show it once again on a consistent basis as he will get the chance to play regularly in the Premier League. - Joe Prince-Wright

Monday, January 22 - Miguel Almiron linked with Saudi Arabia move

Newcastle appear to be moving on players in January with reports suggesting big players may have to be sold in order for the Magpies to comply with financial fair play regulations. One of those is Miguel Almiron. A report from The Guardian states that Newcastle are open to selling Almiron and Saudi Arabian side Al-Shabab are said to be offering a large transfer fee as Newcastle want around $38 million to sell the Paraguayan winger. Almiron, 29, has struggled this season after his breakout 2022-23 campaign. This season he's scored just five goals in 31 appearances in all competitions and Newcastle may now move him on in order to strengthen their midfield which is their main focus in January. Given Newcastle's Saudi Arabian ownership this move would make sense and although it would be a shame to see Miggy leave the Premier League, with the emergence of Anthony Gordon out wide and Joe Willock, Harvey Barnes and Jacob Murphy returning from injury soon, it is probably the right time for him to move on - Joe Prince-Wright

Saturday, January 20 - Kieran Trippier keen on Bayern Munich move

The English takeover at Bayern Munich is really in full flow now as according to Fabrizio Romano, Newcastle and England right back Kieran Trippier is keen on a move to the German giants. Per the report, Trippier has given the move the green light and various reports suggest that Newcastle may look to move Trippier on with Tino Livramento seen as the future long-term right back at St James' Park. Moving Trippier on may also help Newcastle with meeting financial targets. But is losing a leader like Trippier a bigger blow than most think? Even though he's had a slight blip in recent weeks, Trippier has been superb for Newcastle since arriving 18 months ago and has become their vice-captain. His experience was key in the Magpies reaching the Champions League but the chance to link up with Harry Kane at Bayern and challenge for trophies is something which will excite him. Trippier, 33, will be the starter at Bayern as they have injuries at right back and this seems like one of those deals where it works out for everyone. - Joe Prince-Wright

Thursday, January 18 - Fulham make offer for in-demand midfielder

Can Fulham steal a march on Newcastle and other Premier League sides by nabbing influential midfielder Andre? The 22-year-old Brazilian defensive midfielder reportedly already reached terms with Fulham late last year and is hopeful of landing him for between $38-44 million. Fluminense has Andre under contract through the end of the 2025-26 season, but the player would certainly help the Cottagers deal with the ongoing rumors of a Joao Palhinha exit. — Nick Mendola

Wednesday, January 17 - Manchester City sign LA Galaxy academy star midfielder

U.S. born Mexican youth international Alex Alcala has made a strong name playing for LA Galaxy II, and has earned a move to Manchester City.

Alcala, 18, has represented Mexico at several youth levels and now signs a five-year deal with City's Elite Developmental Squad. — Nick Mendola

Wednesday, January 17 - Sergio Reguilon seals second Premier League loan of season

If at first you don't succeed, head to a likeminded club.

Sergio Reguilon's loan from Tottenham Hotspur to Manchester United did not yield the desired results, with the Spaniard playing just 653 minutes across 12 appearances for the Red Devils.

A move to Brentford could prove a better one if Reguilon can stay healthy. Regular left back Rico Henry is out for the season and Saman Ghoddos is at the Africa Cup of Nations (where he's scored and Algeria is expected to make a deep run). Val Adedokun is another option for the Bees. — Nick Mendola

Tuesday, January 16 - Clubs line up to try and sign Kalvin Phillips but Newcastle may be out

A report from Sky Sports says that Newcastle, West Ham, Everton, Juventus and Crystal Palace are all interested in signing Manchester City midfielder Kalvin Phillips on loan this month. But a separate report from The Telegraph says that Newcastle will be out of the running due to City demanding a loan fee for Phillips and asking for an obligation to buy. The finances of this deal appear to be putting West Ham and Crystal Palace off too, while Everton's financial situation means they're unable to sign Phillips. The England international needs to move to find regular minutes and City are holding on for the best possible deal as the report from Sky states the reigning champs would rather sell Phillips than loan him out. Whatever happens, Phillips will surely be playing elsewhere when the January transfer window closes. - Joe Prince-Wright

Monday, January 15 - Manchester United line up Michael Olise signing

Manchester United clearly need help with attacking creativity and reports from ESPN and the London Evening Standard both say that Michael Olise is a key target for Erik ten Hag's side. Per the details ESPN say that United will offer Aaron Wan-Bissaka (who they bought from Palace back in 2019) and cash for Olise, as Palace are willing to cash in on Olise this summer. Per the Evening Standard report, Olise is a key target for United this summer as well as a new star striker. With Sancho loaned out to Dortmund, plus the struggles of Antony well documented, United need a reliable winger who is creative and direct. Olise, 22, fits the bill and has delivered consistently in a Crystal Palace side where he has to do a lot of the attacking work on his own. It appears that Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his recruitment team are getting to work to reshape this United squad to be younger, more creative and exciting and Olise has been linked with moves to Liverpool and Chelsea in the past and is certainly one of the brightest emerging stars in the Premier League. - Joe Prince-Wright

Thursday, January 11 - Spurs unveil Radu Dragusin, announce loan the other way

Romanian center back Radu Dragusin is officially part of the Ange Postecoglou revolution. Djed Spence is going the Genoa on loan as part of the deal.

For more on Dragusin and how he fits into Spurs, head here.

Thursday, January 11 - Jadon Sancho completes loan move back to Borussia Dortmund

Jadon Sancho is officially back at the Westfalenstadion on loan and will stay there until the end of the 2023-24 season. Dortmund have confirmed the deal and according to a report from Fabrizio Romano the German giants had to walk away from a purchase option being included in the loan to make it happen. Sancho, 23, was very productive the first time around at Dortmund as only Lionel Messi was a bigger contributor with goals and assists than during Sancho's best times in Germany. Sancho had three consecutive seasons with 20 assists while at Dortmund, but fell out with Erik ten Hag at Manchester United and this move makes sense for him and for Dortmund as hopefully it will revive his career. — Nick Mendola

Thursday, January 11 - Eric Dier seals Bayern Munich move

Eric Dier is linking up with his old pal Harry Kane once again, as the England international will join Bayern Munich from Tottenham on loan until the summer when his contract runs out at Spurs. There is then an option for Dier to sign a one-year contract at Bayern and Spurs could receive around $4.5 million in bonuses if Dier meets certain requirements. Our partners in Germany at Sky have spoken to Dier as he arrived at Munich airport about his move to Bayern and he described the Bundesliga giants as an "amazing club" and shared his excitement about the move. Thomas Tuchel has also been talking about Dier and says he is a “specialist center back” and gives them a lot of flexibility and can play in midfield too. If he plays well over the next few months (Bayern have injury issues at center back), Dier may well force his way back into the England squad and after he was surplus to requirements at Spurs this is a very good move for the versatile defender. Plus, Harry Kane gets one of his mates alongside him again and that won't be a bad thing for Bayern. — Joe Prince-Wright

Wednesday, January 10 - Brighton triggers release clause for Barco

Roberto De Zerbi's latest weapon is Valentin Barco, as Brighton's again striking for an inexpensive, young transfer target. Barco, 19, is an attack-minded fullback who will cost the Seagulls around $10 million due to a release clause in his Boca Juniors contract. He featured heavily in Boca's run to the Copa Libertadores final and made 35 appearances across all competitions despite still being in his teens. — Nick Mendola

Wednesday, January 10 - Dragusin stays with Spurs commitment despite Bayern push

Radu Dragusin is sticking to his word. The Romanian center back, set to turn 22 next month, is headed to Tottenham for a medical despite a late push from Bayern Munich to secure his services. Dragusin is an aerial monster and attack-ready defender who stands 6-foot-3 and has played week-in, week-out for Genoa the past two seasons. Spurning Bayern, even simply for new loyalty reasons, is a great sign for Ange Postecoglou's project. Now with Bayern have to double Spurs pleasure by splashing cash for their center back Eric Dier? — Nick Mendola

Tuesday, January 9 - Jordan Henderson attracting interest from Ajax as PL links swirl

According to Fabrizio Romano, Dutch giants Ajax have shown interest in Jordan Henderson as the England international looks set to leave Saudi Arabia side Al-Ettifaq in January. Henderson, 33, has been linked with a move back to the Premier League with the likes of Chelsea and Tottenham said to be interested. However, Romano says that Ajax are interested and that would be an intriguing move for Henderson. He needs to play regularly ahead of EURO 2024 where he will be vice-captain for England and Gareth Southgate trusts him massively. Still, Henderson playing regularly in a top European league ahead of the tournament is a necessity if he's going to have any real impact for the Three Lions this summer.

Monday, January 8 - Stuttgart discuss possible Serhou Guirassy departure

Stuttgart chief Fabian Wohlgemuth appeared to tell German outlet BW24 that they are open to selling star striker Serhou Guirassy if the right offer arrives. This is a little confusing as it has been widely reported that Guirassy, 27, has a release clause of $19 million in his contract and the likes of Chelsea and Manchester United have been sniffing around as he's scored 16 goals in 14 Bundesliga games so far this season.

"Our strategy is not to hope, fear and keep our fingers crossed," Wohlgemuth said. "It's not wishful thinking. We are constantly in contact, and if matters align that are favorable, then we will do it. If not, then not. We will keep our eyes and ears open. We're not under any pressure, but the squad situation is a bit tense at the moment."

Guirassy would be a great option for plenty of Premier League teams looking to bolster their firepower in January with Manchester United and Arsenal in particular searching for cut-price additions who can finish off some of the multiple chances they create each game. This quote from Wohlgemuth seems to suggest that Stuttgart are trying their best to renegotiate Guirassy's contract or line up someone to replace him if he leaves this month. - Joe Prince-Wright


Saturday, January 6 - Latest on Jadon Sancho to Dortmund

Apparently a loan move for Jadon Sancho to Borussia Dortmund could happen any day.... if Manchester United can stomach the optics. Manchester United bought Sancho from Dortmund for more than $90 million, and a permanent transfer would still carry a hefty price tag — one that BVB is unlikely to be able to afford according to Sky Sports in Germany. Additionally, United may be hesitant to include a buy option in the first place as it would set a number next to his name.

The reported loan price for a half-season of Sancho, still 23 until March, is around $4 million. One of the hold-ups is that United didn't want that number out there as it's less than 5% of what it paid for the player currently suspended by Erik ten Hag. With new ownership and the chance for Sancho to jolt his transfer value to life, it seems likely this gets done. No egg on Jim Ratcliffe's face. — Nick Mendola


Saturday, January 6 - Timo Werner ‘nearing move’ to Tottenham

Reports out of Sky Sports in Germany say that Tottenham has jumped to the front of the recruitment line for Timo Werner. The ex-Chelsea man has only managed eight league appearances this season, scoring twice, but had been linked with a move to Manchester United. It would be a loan move for Werner and Spurs would reportedly cover all of his salary. Here’s more. — Nick Mendola


Friday, January 5 - Bayern Munich linked with move for Spurs’ Eric Dier

A report from The Athletic says that Eric Dier could be calling time on his long Tottenham career. It would be a short-term permanent move for the versatile 29-year-old. Dier's contract runs out this summer, and he's free to discuss a new deal with clubs outside of England. He would join up with Thomas Tuchel’s men in January on a contract until the end of the season. — Nick Mendola


Wednesday, January 3 - Manchester United consider move for Atalanta midfielder Ederson

An Ederson on both sides of Manchester? A report out of Goal Brasil says Manchester United has made contact with representatives for Atalanta midfielder Ederson. The 24-year-old is an all-action midfielder in his second season with Atalanta after a year at Salernitana. He came up in Brazil before moving to Italy as a 22-year-old, and is said to have a "high release clause." And the clubs worked together on the Rasmus Hojlund transfer. That was not concluded quickly, if you'll recall. A very good tackler with dribbling skills to boot, Ederson is a ball-progressor who can help link the defenders and defensive midfielder to Bruno Fernandes and the attackers. He's scored four times this season and has an assist as well. — Nick Mendola


Wednesday, January 3 - Aston Villa to strike for Hellas Verona striker Cyril Ngonge

Belgian fox in the box Cyril Ngonge may be heading to the Premier League, and soon. The 23-year-old will reportedly make the move to Villa Park soon, as Aston Villa looks for depth in forward beyond Ollie Watkins. Ngonge can also play on the wing and as an attacking midfielder. Ngonge plays for Hellas Verona, and can reportedly be had for $12 million. He's scored five times with two assists in 17 Serie A appearances this season, a step up from his first season after moving from Groningen this time last year. — Nick Mendola


Tuesday, January 2 - Kylian Mbappe linked with Liverpool as he’s free to talk with other teams

Kylian Mbappe's PSG contract is set to run out this summer and Le Parisian says that both Liverpool and Real Madrid remain keen on signing him on a free transfer. Because, why not? Real still seems like the most likely destination as they need a center forward and Mbappe has wanted a new challenge away from PSG and has been linked with Real for a few years now. Still, Liverpool's name keeps getting mentioned and with the future of Mohamed Salah up in the air as links with a move to Saudi Arabia continue, Mbappe arriving at Anfield would soften the blow. It's hard to imagine Mbappe in a Liverpool shirt but in the past he has spoken about his love for the club and the atmosphere Liverpool's fans create. Still, if I had to make a bet now then Mbappe will be wearing a Real Madrid shirt from this summer on and will be there for the prime of his career. - Joe Prince-Wright


Monday, January 1 - Raphael Varane set to leave Manchester United on a free

According to ESPN, Manchester United have not triggered their one-year contract extension option for Raphael Varane. Per the report, United could have extended Varane's contract by an extra year but the French defender is now expected be out of contract this summer at Old Trafford and is now free to talk with teams outside of the UK and sign a pre-contract agreement for a free transfer on July 1. Varane, 30, has had a frustrating 18 months at United and has even found himself out of favor this season as it seems like Erik ten Hag doesn't want him to be part of his long-term plan. The report says that United could offer Varane a new performance-related contract but it seems unlikely the World Cup winner would agree to that. - Joe Prince-Wright


Thursday December 28 - Kalvin Phillips on the move to Newcastle?

A report from The Telegraph says that Manchester City and England midfielder Kalvin Phillips is set to move to Newcastle in January. Per the report, Phillips will join Newcastle on loan as he is surplus to requirements at Man City. With EURO 2024 fast approaching, Phillips needs minutes and he just isn't going to get that at City. Pep Guardiola doesn't trust him and a move to Newcastle would be a perfect fit as he can sit in, spray the ball around and is very good at reading the game, winning the ball back and helping teams get on the front foot quickly. Phillips would suit Eddie Howe and his injury-hit Newcastle side perfectly. - Joe Prince-Wright
