Arsenal, Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool and Tottenham are already making plans for January, with a host of big names being linked with moves after the summer window closed. Arsenal are, sensationally, said to be interested in both Erling Haaland and Rayan Cherki following the latest developments in Manchester City's financial case, while they appear to have been handed a boost over a deal for Julian Alvarez.

Man United are set to solve their left-back dilemma by extending the contract of Harry Amass, but will still keep tabs on Alejandro Balde. Chelsea have signed former Tottenham youngster Leo Black, while Barcelona are weighing up their options over Estevao. Liverpool have been linked with a shock move to bring Trent Alexander-Arnold back to Anfield, with Lamine Camara and Kevin Schade also reportedly on their radar following Julian Ward's return as sporting director.

Tottenham are said to have expressed an interest in Bayern Munich defender Kim Min-jae, potentially as a replacement for Micky van de Ven who is reportedly on the radar of United and Liverpool. The Spurs captain is attracting interest after establishing himself as a key part of Tottenham's defence, although any move would likely require a significant fee.

What Tottenham must do in January transfer window

Arguably Tottenham’s most glaring oversight this summer was their failure to bring in an out-and-out striker, writes Sam Tabuteau.

The versatile Omar Marmoush arrived from Manchester City on loan, with a £60m obligation to buy at the end of the season, but has so far looked an awkward fit.

The Egyptian is not particularly adept at leading the line, instead looking to drop deep and receive the ball, and that has placed great emphasis on Dominic Solanke to be Spurs’ talisman, despite the England forward clearly lacking sharpness.

Arsenal get Alvarez boost

Jonathan David is starting to convince Atletico Madrid of a permanent transfer.

The Canada international joined Madrid from Juventus in the summer window and has now scored three goals in his last three appearances, including one against Real Madrid.

As such, reports in Spain claim Atletico are now weighing up a permanent move for £21million.

This deal could be a boost for Arsenal as it may open the door for Julian Alvarez to leave.

Man Utd have Balde hope

Football Insider reports that Manchester United have an improved chance of signing Barcelona left-back Alejandro Balde in January.

The 22-year-old is now more open to leaving after playing just 12 minutes in La Liga this season. Barcelona will only consider selling Balde if their £30million asking price is met.

Felix dreaming of Barca return

Joao Felix is dreaming of a return to Barcelona and wants to play Champions League football again, Sport claims.

His agent Jorge Mendes has reportedly already informed Barca of the forward’s desire to return to the club, where he spent the 2023-24 season on loan from Atletico Madrid.

Man Utd make left-back decision

Manchester United are set to extend Harry Amass’ contract ahead of the January transfer window.

The Red Devils are short on senior left-back options, particularly after Patrick Dorgu’s injury scare on international duty with Denmark earlier this week.

The former Lecce man has been the go-to backup to Luke Shaw when the No23 has been sidelined this term, and Michael Carrick has found himself lacking in depth at full-back.
