The January transfer window is heating up as Premier League clubs and European teams target key players. Bournemouth winger Antoine Semenyo leads the headlines, with multiple top-flight sides reportedly ready to trigger his release clause. Meanwhile, Everton, Aston Villa, Chelsea, and AC Milan are also active in player moves and contract negotiations.

Five Premier League Clubs Chase Antoine Semenyo

Five of England’s top clubs – Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, and Tottenham Hotspur – are reportedly interested in signing 25-year-old Ghanaian winger Antoine Semenyo from Bournemouth. The player has a £65 million release clause that can be activated during a specific period of the January transfer window.

Sources suggest that Manchester United could sell 24-year-old Netherlands forward Joshua Zirkzee to help fund a move for Semenyo. The versatile winger is known for his pace, strength, and direct attacking style, making him a coveted target in the Premier League.

Chelsea’s Tyrique George and Other Premier League Rumours

Chelsea youngster Tyrique George, currently part of the Blues’ Under-21 squad, is reportedly seeking a move in January. Several Premier League clubs, alongside RB Leipzig and Roma, are said to be monitoring his situation.

Everton are targeting Middlesbrough midfielder Hayden Hackney, although a January move could be complicated by Boro’s promotion push from the Championship. The 23-year-old English midfielder has been a standout performer for Middlesbrough this season.

Aston Villa are planning to open contract talks with Belgium international Youri Tielemans, whose current deal runs until 2028. Tielemans has been a key figure in Villa’s midfield, and the club aims to secure his long-term future.

AC Milan, West Ham and Juventus Transfer Updates

West Ham are reportedly open to letting German striker Niclas Fullkrug leave, with AC Milan showing interest in a potential loan deal. Fullkrug, 32, earns around £100,000 per week, which could limit Milan to a temporary transfer initially, with a view to a permanent move.

Juventus have been linked with Marseille midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, though the French club are keen to retain the 30-year-old Denmark international.

Arsenal are also monitoring AC Milan full-back Davide Bartesaghi, the 19-year-old Italian whose contract runs until 2030. Meanwhile, Manchester United and Manchester City have both shown interest in Trabzonspor’s Ivory Coast midfielder Christ Inao Oulai.

Other Notable Moves

• Aston Villa have no plans to sell Lamare Bogarde, despite interest from Brighton.
• Inter Miami are finalising a new deal for Luis Suarez, keeping the 38-year-old Uruguayan forward at the club for the 2026 season.

The January transfer window promises to be busy as Premier League clubs strengthen their squads ahead of the second half of the season, with high-profile names like Semenyo, Tielemans, and Hackney attracting the most attention.
