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.

'Rashford could stay' says Man Utd icon
Former Man Utd player Lee Sharpe doesn't think it's inevitable that Marcus Rashford will leave the club in January.
"It is salvageable for sure," he told William Hill. "Amorim has come out and said a Manchester United team with Rashford in, is a better team than without him. So there is the challenge for Marcus if he chooses to accept.
"Knuckle down in training, put in 100% and then get yourself back in the team and perform like we know he can. With the way Amorim wants to play, Rashford can fit into one of the positions comfortably, but he has to want to do it."
