As the January transfer window approaches, Premier League and European clubs are beginning to sharpen their plans, with Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea, Liverpool, and others linked to high-profile targets across Europe. Here’s the latest transfer gossip and potential moves ahead of the winter window.

Tottenham Hotspur Eye Everton Winger Iliman Ndiaye

Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly made Everton’s Senegalese winger Iliman Ndiaye, 25, a prime target for the January transfer window. The Senegal international has been attracting interest from several top clubs, including Newcastle United, Juventus, AC Milan, and Atletico Madrid, as reported by TeamTalk. Ndiaye’s pace, dribbling, and attacking versatility make him a coveted asset for clubs looking to bolster their wide options in the second half of the season. Spurs may have competition if they decide to push forward with a deal.

Chelsea and Spurs Eye Juventus Striker Jonathan David

Chelsea and Tottenham are both evaluating a move for Juventus striker Jonathan David, 25. According to TuttoMercatoWeb, the Canadian international could be a key addition to either squad, offering goalscoring prowess and flexibility across the frontline. This potential battle for David highlights the competitive nature of Premier League clubs looking to strengthen their attacking options mid-season.

Everton Consider Franculino Dju

Everton may look to add Midtjylland striker Franculino Dju, 21, in January to boost their attacking depth. However, the Guinea-Bissau international is also attracting interest from Bologna, which could complicate any move for the Toffees. Dju’s goal-scoring record in Denmark has caught the attention of multiple European clubs.

Liverpool Pursue Alessandro Bastoni

Liverpool are reportedly preparing a major offer of €100m (£88m) to secure Inter Milan and Italy defender Alessandro Bastoni, 26. Bastoni’s defensive capabilities and composure on the ball would strengthen Liverpool’s backline significantly. The Reds’ interest reflects their strategy of targeting elite defensive talent to compete domestically and in Europe.

Real Madrid Eyes Declan Rice and Bradley Barcola

Real Madrid are reportedly ready to make a blockbuster move, potentially spending €250m (£220m) to sign Arsenal and England midfielder Declan Rice, 26, and Paris Saint-Germain winger Bradley Barcola, 23. If successful, this would represent one of the most ambitious transfer plans in recent history, signaling Madrid’s intent to reinforce both midfield and attack.

Barcelona’s Interest in Daniel Munoz

Barcelona are targeting Crystal Palace full-back Daniel Munoz, 29, as they seek experienced defenders to strengthen their squad. The Colombian international’s versatility and defensive acumen could be key for Xavi’s team as they pursue domestic and European success.

Rising Talents and Potential Moves

• Levante striker Etta Eyong, 22, is being monitored by both Real Madrid and Barcelona, but the Cameroon international has expressed a dream of playing for Chelsea in the Premier League.
• Atletico Madrid are eyeing Real Madrid defender Ferland Mendy, 30, as a key defensive target, with the Frenchman reportedly out of favour at the Bernabeu.
• Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim may need to reinforce his attack if Benjamin Sesko, 22, faces a serious knee injury. The Red Devils also risk losing Bryan Mbeumo, 26, and Amad Diallo, 23, to the Africa Cup of Nations.

As the January window approaches, these potential transfers highlight the intensity of the European market, with clubs across England, Spain, and Italy vying for top talent to strengthen their squads for the remainder of the season.
