Fabian Hurzeler has said there is a chance Evan Ferguson could return from a loan at Roma as one option, while the club are always scouting for the next best talent.Players out of contract at the end of the season: Danny Welbeck, James Milner, Joel Veltman, Solly March (club hold option to extend), Adam Webster.Brighton transfer news and rumoursBurnleyBurnley are facing an uphill task if they are to avoid relegation and are therefore planning to be busy in January to make a fist of trying to stay up.Although there is money to spend, they are particularly looking in the loan market so as not to get caught with big wages and big fees if they ultimately go down.Given it is a World Cup year, there are lots of players around the Premier League and Europe not playing regularly who are looking to make a case to their respective national teams.Sky Sports News has been told Scott Parker is open to improving anywhere through the spine of their team, as well as options on the wings, so a number of players could come in to Turf Moor by the deadline.Players out of contract at the end of the season: Martin Dubravka, Josh Laurent, Vaclav Hladky, Ashley Barnes.Burnley transfer news and rumoursChelseaNo major arrivals are expected at Chelsea in January with the focus firmly on the summer windows in 2026 and 2027. He can talk to foreign teams about a pre-contract agreement from January 1 and Bayern Munich are one club expected to approach him.Palace head coach Oliver Glasner has said he expects Guehi to stay until the summer - but chairman Steve Parish has suggested in previous comments over the summer that he would be reluctant to let him walk away for nothing.Guehi holds most of the cards and it remains unclear what his decision will be, with Barcelona, Man City and Real Madrid also potentially there for a free transfer next summer.Glasner has been critical about Palace's summer business in general, feeling there was not enough investment, and there is uncertainty around his future with his contract up in the summer as well, not helping with clarity for any potential incomings.The Palace boss has said he expects one or two signings in January and they want another forward given Ismaila Sarr is now at AFCON.
As it stands, from January he will be free to discuss a pre-contract with foreign clubs over a potential free transfer at the end of the season.Players out of contract at the end of the season: Marc Guehi, Daichi Kamada, Nathaniel Clyne, Jefferson Lerma (club hold option to extend), Naouirou Ahamada.Crystal Palace transfer news and rumoursEverton Image: Ivan Toney could be returning to the Premier League Everton are expected to be active in January and are prioritising the signing of a striker as they aim to add a different profile to their current options, Thierno Barry and Beto.Ivan Toney, who is attracting interest from a number of Premier League clubs, is a player that Everton have had a look at but any deal would likely be expensive. Everton transfer news and rumoursFulhamMarco Silva did not hide his frustrations about the lack of depth in Fulham's squad after Newcastle knocked them out of the Carabao Cup quarter-finals, and he will be hoping to address those problems in the January transfer window.Fulham are expected to be active with central midfielder, winger and striker on the list of positions they want to strengthen after a difficult first half of the season.Signing a top No 8-type midfielder was a big priority in the summer, missing out on players like Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall to Everton, and Alex Iwobi - one of three players Fulham lose to Nigeria at AFCON - has filled in there, so there is still a strong desire to bring in a player of that profile.Summer signing Samuel Chukwueze, who has recently impressed, is another that goes to AFCON, while Adama Traore is in the final year of his deal and attracting interest from West Ham in January, so Fulham are also exploring winger options ahead of his potential departure.
Leeds' failed attempt to sign Harry Wilson on Deadline Day shows that there is some wiggle room financially.Sales could be an option to create more financial headroom for January signings and Daniel Farke has said the club should be open to the possibility if it can improve the team, but insists there are no plans to move any of his players on.The chances of the Wilson deal being revived in January are slim because the two clubs are close to each other in the table and the forward is now playing a starring role at Fulham, although his deal is up in the summer and there has been no resolution over his future.Leeds still want to bring in a player of Wilson's profile with Dan James' injury leaving them even shorter on wingers and they are also exploring potential deals for strikers to add more depth up front.Farke has switched to a 3-5-2, but wants his team to be flexible, as shown when he reverted to a back four mid-game against Liverpool and Brentford - a tweak that helped Leeds come from behind to draw in both games - so their plans are not shaped around one formation.Players out of contract at the end of the season: Illan Meslier, Sam Byram, Karl Darlwo, Alex Cairns. The left-back chose to stay at Anfield in the summer amid interest from Atletico Madrid and wants to resolve his future in private.Players out of contract at the end of the season: Ibrahima Konate, Andy Robertson, Freddie Woodman, Rhys Williams.Liverpool transfer news and rumoursManchester City Image: There is widespread interest in Antoine Semenyo Manchester City are one of those clubs that are firmly in the race for Antoine Semenyo in January, with some insiders believing they are the strongest contenders for his signature.Signing another elite left winger has been on their radar since the summer, when they tried for Rodrygo from Real Madrid and were wiling to sell Savinho, who has since signed a new contract, to Spurs had that happened.Pep Guardiola has ruled out back-up goalkeeper James Trafford leaving in January despite the England international becoming unsettled over his role with Gianluigi Donnarumma the clear first-choice, but City are open for Stefan Ortega to leave.Longer-term, City are also looking at central midfield cover for Tijjani Reijnders, with Mateo Kovacic injured and getting on, and Bernardo Silva out of contract in the summer.Right-back was an area City looked at in the summer but the impressive performances of Matheus Nunes in that position have knocked that down the priority list.
