The January transfer window is now slowly creeping towards the deadline with many clubs, including Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United, yet to make the serious deals many fans had hoped for. Tottenham have so far been the biggest player in the market, but that could all change in the days ahead.

Spurs, fresh from landing Timo Werner and Radu Dragusin, are one of several teams tipped to bid for Crystal Palace winger Michael Olise. Arsenal are also reportedly in the mix with the Gunners also said to be keen on Wolves defender Rayan Ait-Nouri and a striker such as Joshua Zirkzee, Borja Mayoral or Santiago Gimenez.

One big-name attacker who could enter the market is Karim Benzema, whose situation is reportedly being watched by Arsenal, Man Utd and Chelsea following his disillusionment in Saudi Arabia. Chelsea continue to be linked with Evan Ferguson, Viktor Gyokeres and Victor Osimhen whereas Liverpool remain contenders for Kylian Mbappe.
