Overview
- The Premier League’s winter window opens January 1 and closes February 2 at 7pm GMT across the major European leagues’ aligned deadlines.
- Sky Sports and other outlets report Bournemouth’s Antoine Semenyo is nearing a £65m move to Manchester City early in the window after rivals cooled interest.
- Liverpool face pressure to add cover in defence and attack with Mohamed Salah at AFCON, Alexander Isak sidelined, and injuries to Giovanni Leoni and Joe Gomez limiting options.
- Marc Guehi continues to be linked after a collapsed summer switch from Crystal Palace, with reporting suggesting Liverpool are unlikely to buy unless a ready-to-start defender becomes available at a sensible fee.
- Arsenal signal a measured, opportunity-led approach in January, with reports outlining a monitored shortlist that includes prospects such as Ayyoub Bouaddi and Davide Bartesaghi rather than imminent big-money moves.
