The 3 Rotherham United players already facing up to a January full of speculation | OneFootball

Highlights

Rotherham made plenty of moves in the summer window, and that is set to continue in January.

The Yorkshire-based club have been able to bring in a number of new players into their squad since the start of the summer transfer window, whilst letting many depart on either permanent or temporary moves.

They had a fairly successful window, holding onto the likes of Viktor Johansson, but they also lost Chiedoze Ogbene to newly promoted Luton Town, and the club had to deal with a player like Joshua Kayode refusing to leave permanently despite having 10+ League One clubs willing to pay a fee for him, according to the Rotherham Advertiser.

But, much like every year, the transfer rumours continue to roll around, even though we have over three months until contracted players are allowed to be acquired by other teams.

Some Rotherham players will be monitored over that three-month period, and that interest will only build as we get towards the turn of the year.

Cohen Bramall

The left-back was impressive throughout his first season with the Millers, and his second as a Championship player. For a team that was going to be in and around a relegation battle, he was consistently good.

His play in the 2022/23 season earned him some interest over the summer. Rotherham manager Matt Taylor said that there was at least one club who had enquired about the 27-year-old. "There was a phone call; nothing official," said the boss.

Well, he has started this season in the same vein of form, and those rumours and enquiries are likely to persist.

It isn't known which clubs, in what league, were asking about the services of the former Arsenal youngster, but there's likely to be more phone calls made, involving his name, in the first month of 2024.

Tolaji Bola

The defender is in a rather precarious position. He has been left out of the club's squad list that has been sent to the EFL, meaning that he is ineligible to play league games for the club.

This is despite the club having an extra space available on their list that they could have given to the 24-year-old. They, instead, decided to leave a space open in the hopes of signing a free agent; that signing turned out to be Clucas.

Rotherham were trying to facilitate a loan move for Bola over the summer, but nothing got worked out.

“We've tried to get him out on loan for the last three months,” said the manager, via the Rotherham Advertiser. “We just couldn't get it done. We got close with a couple of options but nothing ever materialised. It's a real shame for Tolaji."

He is now in footballing no man's land. His only chance at first team football, before 2024, is a move to a non-league side. The expectation will be for him to make a move in January.

Cameron Humphreys

Humphreys is another one who has been linked with a move away from Yorkshire. TEAMtalk reported that Derby County were interested in reuniting him with former coach Paul Warne.
