January means two things, you are attempting to keep to a silly new years’ resolution, but most importantly the Transfer window is open!
For 31 days, clubs around the world have the opportunity to strengthen their squad ahead of the business end of the season.
Almost 100% of players have contracts that end in the summer months, meaning players who have contracts until Summer 2019, now only have six months to get a new one.
If for whatever reason, a new deal with their current club can’t be struck, January is an opportunity for the club to cash in, as they will receive no money once the contract is up.
These players are yet to secure a new deal with their current club and could move in January, for the right price.
David Luiz
Despite being a regular in Maurizio Sarri’s starting line-up, David Luiz is yet to sign a new deal at the club.
The Brazilian who struggled to get into Antonio Conte’s team last season has made a resurgence in recent months, so surely a new deal will come before the end of the season.
Mousa Dembele
The Belgian has a lot of admirers in the Premier League but unfortunately for him, he has his fair number of injuries too.
Rumours of a move to China dominated Dembele’s summer, so surely Spurs will look to cash in rather than let him see out his contract.
Gary Cahill
While David Luiz has had a resurgence since Maurizio Sarri’s arrival at Chelsea, Gary Cahill has fallen further down the pecking order in defence.
The former England captain has made just one Premier League appearance so far this season and has been linked with at least a loan move to Fulham.
Juan Mata
The Spaniard has had a topsy-turvy time at Manchester United, being reduced largely to bit-part roles.
According to reports, talks are continuing and a new deal could be struck soon, but should a bid come in January and with uncertainty at Old Trafford, could the midfielder be swayed?
James Milner
Now 32, James Milner has quietly become one of the most versatile players in the Premier League.
Surely his ability and attitude warrants him receiving a new deal at Anfield?
