The deadline is fast approaching for the January transfer window, and there could be plenty of late-night drama after a tough month for most clubs.
The pandemic has had a major impact on football’s finances, with many teams unwilling or unable to spend much on key goals as there is no set date for supporters to return to stadiums.
But while we may have been denied the usual big-ticket deals Premier League clubs often spring for January, there have been some intriguing loan deals – and possibly a few more to come.
Arsenal have signed a Martin Odegaard loan from Real Madrid following Mesut Ozil’s move to Fenerbahce, while the Gunners could also allow Shkodran Mustafi to join Liverpool on loan as the Premier League champions try to resolve their dispute. defensive injury crisis.
Manchester United are busy knocking out a few players from the squad with Jesse Lingard sealing a loan at West Ham, and Marcos Rojo could also be on the verge of exiting. Meanwhile, the Red Devils have been linked with a summer transfer from Sergio Ramos on a free transfer, although Sevilla defender Jules Kounde is also a potential target.
It seems unlikely that new Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel will make any additions, although there could be a few late exits on loan, while Dele Alli could finally seal a temporary move from Tottenham to PSG.
