The January transfer window is only a matter of weeks away from opening for just 31 days as Premier League clubs start to plan out their potential business midway through the season.

Manchester United have a new manager at the helm in Ruben Amorim and the Red Devils coach could be tempted to enter into the market to add some players to his squad, with United languishing in 13th in the table. Likewise, Pep Guardiola might be forced to break his usual tradition and bring in reinforcements after Manchester City’s poor start to the season.

League leaders Liverpool will be focused on finding contract agreements for their star trio Virgil van Dijk, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Mohamed Salah. It is not out of the question that title contenders Arsenal and Chelsea make improvements to their squad despite spending big in the summer, with a striker on both clubs’ wishlists.
