We now have just over a week until the January transfer window opens and it's set to be a busy month for Premier League teams. A number of clubs are in clear need of reinforcements, with injury lists growing amid a frenzied schedule.
Arsenal, Manchester City, and Manchester United are all touted to make signings after a disappointing first half of the campaign. Tottenham are also expected to into the market, with Ange Postecoglou in desperate need of another goalkeeper.
Despite being clear at the top of the table, Liverpool too are after signings to make sure they have the squad depth to go the distance. Only £96.2million was spent in January by top-flights in 2024, with that figure set to be easily surpassed this time around.
