January 2 is here, which means the winter window is officially open for Premier League clubs to start making any moves after a dramatic start to the season.
Manchester United have tied on points with League leaders Liverpool. While Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is happy with his squad, summer signing Amad Diallo is set to join the Red Devils squad, Jadon Sancho remains a target, while reports of a Jack Grealish move won’t go away, even if The Aston Captain of the village would cost £ 100 million.
As for Arsenal, January seems to be more about Mikel Arteta cutting back his squad rather than increasing it, with Mesut Ozil’s future being one of the main concerns. Still, the Gunners have been linked to Real Madrid playmaker Isco, AS Roma defender Roger Ibáñez and more, so don’t rule anything out for now.
Arsenal’s rival Chelsea in London has the money to spend despite more than £ 200 million in summer arrivals, and AC Milan goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, available for free this summer, could be a surprise target.
Liverpool are looking at defenders with Lille’s Sven Botman as a possibility, while José Mourinho says any arrival at Tottenham would be a ‘big surprise’… but is that a smoke screen from the Spurs manager? Pochettino confirmed as his new head coach.

Sancho on United’s radar again?
Manchester United tried and failed to get Jadon Sancho from Borussia Dortmund last summer, with the England winger’s £ 108m asking price too high for the Red Devils.
However, 90min.com reports that United are confident they will be able to sign Sancho for much less in 2021, especially after his slow start to the season. Sancho is said to still be interested in a move, while the ongoing impact of the coronavirus pandemic on soccer finances means that any potential deal could be made for a lower figure, if not now, in the summer.

Moyes does not rule out signings
David Moyes hasn’t ruled out diving into the January transfer market, but he’s more than happy with the way West Ham are playing after their 1-0 win at Everton.
“I think if there were the right things we would try, but we are very aware that the club has not received money, so everyone should know that there is no money to make deals,” he said.
“We are not yet ready to compete with the best guys, but we are putting on a good show when we are playing against them. We are getting closer.
“We went to Goodison and got a result, which shows how well the players are playing. He couldn’t praise the players enough, having to play his third game in six days. They have done an incredible job and the level of their physical form. and the professionalism to be in the best conditions is a great merit for them.
“We have added the squad and these players are contributing. If they don’t contribute, they stand aside, but when they come, they are contributing. ‘

Ibañez update to Arsenal
While Mikel Arteta may be more focused on getting rid of players than signing them this month, Roger Ibáñez is one player who could be on Arsenal’s wish list.
According to Calciomercato, the 22-year-old Brazilian, who is set to complete a full move from Atalanta to AS Roma in the summer, is a target for Arteta, though Liverpool is said to be interested as well alongside PSG, Leicester and Tottenham. and Everton.
That interest rate could trigger a summer bidding war, which would suit Atalanta, but not necessarily Arsenal.

Van de Beek kicking his heels
One Manchester United player who wouldn’t benefit from any Jack Grealish move is Donny van de Beek, who has struggled for playing time despite his hectic festive schedule. A January outing is unlikely, but you’d think the Dutch international will surely be on the move next summer if he doesn’t start gaining minutes.

¿Grealish al Man Utd?
Jack Grealish impressed with Aston Villa at Old Trafford despite a 2-1 loss to Manchester United, and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s words to the midfielder at full time have driven United fans crazy.
(Fake images)
Solskjaer and Grealish were seen joking around after the match, although one thing that would wipe the smile from the United manager’s face is the fact that the Villa captain is likely to cost around £ 100 million.
That price, and the importance of Grealish to Villa, means that a summer move after the euros is a more likely option if the deal hits, but watch out for this space …

Donnarumma to Chelsea?
Chelsea already have three capable goalkeepers on the books, Edouard Mendy, Kepa Azpilicueta and Willy Caballero, but it looks like they could add a fourth in Guanluigi Donnarumma.
According to various reports, AC Milan’s Donnarumma can be seen as an ideal signing given that he is a free agent next summer. That would surely spell the end of Kepa’s career at Chelsea …
