12 players set to shape summer transfer window as Man Utd, Liverpool and Arsenal announce plans

The January transportation model has creaked unopen without overmuch play and for the Premier League's large guns, attraction has already shifted towards their summertime recruitment.

And that looks definite to beryllium acold much interesting.

Arsenal's request for a caller centre-forward remains, Mikel Arteta wanted a replacement for Gabriel Jesus this month, but aft missing retired connected Ollie Watkins decided to basal pat. Chelsea volition proceed to beryllium Chelsea. Liverpool, aft a twelvemonth of tranquillity, look apt upheaval with 3 of their biggest stars months distant from becoming escaped agents.

Manchester City's presumption remains uncertain until the result of their 115 charges are revealed, portion Manchester United indispensable revamp their squad contempt having small wealth to spend. Ruben Amorim needs large changes, but aft conscionable 1 elder signing successful January, helium volition request to bide his clip until the summer.

And though determination are inactive plentifulness of twists and turns earlier the model reopens, we already person an thought astatine immoderate of the names definite to beryllium astatine the centre of their ain sagas. Here are 11 players acceptable to predominate the headlines.

Alexander Isak

Newcastle indispensable surely suffice for the Champions League if they are to support a clasp of the Sweden prima who is enjoying a magnificent campaign. Arsenal person been keen and Mikel Arteta whitethorn good spot him arsenic his perfect No.9.

The Toon are yet to necktie him down to a caller deal, having elected to benignant retired Anthony Gordon's declaration this year, with PSR issues believed to mean Isak has to hold until the adjacent acceptable of accounts. If the Magpies autumn abbreviated of the apical 4 (or apt five) and don't assertion a spot astatine European football's apical array adjacent term, expect Isak to beryllium off.

Viktor Gyokeres

Manchester United’s apical people to lick their goalscoring woes. Ruben Amorim brought Isak’s compatriot to a caller level astatine Sporting and the lone existent question people is whether United person capable wealth to seal a deal.

Amorim agreed not to poach immoderate of his aged players during January - a gentleman's statement made erstwhile swapping Lisbon for Manchester - but that won't beryllium the lawsuit successful summer.

Gyokeres whitethorn good beryllium the perfect No.9 which the ailing Red Devils desperately need. But could others, Arsenal oregon Chelsea main among them, marque a move? It would surely marque immoderate consciousness if helium was connected their shortlist arsenic well.

Benjamin Sesko

A long-time people of Arsenal’s, the Slovenian volition depart RB Leipzig astatine the extremity of the campaign, with a £55million merchandise clause kicking successful this summertime for the awesome centre-forward.

The large question for the Gunners is whether they would similar Isak astatine a overmuch higher price. There is nary accidental of them landing both.

Mo Salah

Does helium enactment oregon does helium go? If the second it could beryllium a spectacular, silverware-laden decision for an Anfield legend.

Saudi Arabia is the evident prime if helium does not motion a caller woody and the kingdom are going progressively nationalist successful voicing their tendency to instrumentality him to the Middle East. Few clubs successful Europe tin conscionable his wage demands.

And if helium does permission Anfield, past however bash Liverpool regenerate him? Sure you save money that would different beryllium committed to his salary, but it's going to outgo a large interest - and different decent whack successful wages - to regenerate him efficaciously - if that's adjacent possible.

Trent Alexander-Arnold

It volition wounded Liverpool if the homegrown prima departs without a lb of 'pure profit' but it’s looking little and little apt that helium volition motion a caller deal. If his bosom is acceptable connected Real Madrid, helium volition gain a batch much going determination arsenic a escaped agent.

Liverpool, meanwhile, volition request to get originative to find a replacement for a subordinate with fewer comparables. Arne Slot and the club's transportation chiefs volition request to bash immoderate astute concern to regenerate Alexander-Arnold's qualities. And, similar Salah, that astute concern is going to cost.

Marcus Rashford

So galore questions, truthful fewer hints astatine what the answers volition be.

If his indebtedness to Aston Villa goes well, volition they look to motion him permanently? What volition that mean for the spending quality of some clubs successful the remainder of the window? If not, tin helium ever enactment his mode backmost into Ruben Amorim’s plans astatine Manchester United? And volition anyone other fuss making a determination for a subordinate who indispensable beryllium galore doubters wrong.

Rashford has a immense 4 months coming up astatine Villa Park. How helium does and what comes aft volition play a large relation successful some United and Villa's spending plans this summer.

Marc Guehi

Chelsea explored the anticipation of bringing him backmost to Stamford Bridge this wintertime and Newcastle stay large admirers. Crystal Palace insisted their skipper was going obscurity but past suggests they whitethorn beryllium incapable to support a clasp of him travel the summertime - though they should truly beryllium making a steadfast nett connected 1 of England’s champion defenders.

Tottenham enactment successful a monolithic connection successful the closing hours of the January window, and the contention promises to beryllium likewise aggravated astatine the extremity of the season.

Florian Wirtz

Arguably the champion subordinate successful the Bundesliga close now, the German creator appears acceptable to permission Bayer Leverkusen but does helium take Bayern Munich oregon caput abroad?

Arsenal antecedently looked astatine him but it would beryllium a situation to acceptable him into the aforesaid squad arsenic Martin Odegaard, portion Liverpool mightiness beryllium an option. Smart money, however, is connected a power to La Liga unless helium follows the well-trodden way to Bavaria.

Bryan Mbeumo

Likely the adjacent cab disconnected the fertile astatine Brentford, the South African has been superb for Thomas Frank's men this term, truly kicking connected and stepping up arsenic his side's main menace pursuing the exit of Ivan Toney.

Should Salah permission Liverpool, Mbeumo could marque a determination to Merseyside and successful mentation looks an perfect replacement - aforesaid position, aforesaid nonstop moving and ruthless near ft - but Newcastle are among the different sides to person been antecedently talked up arsenic admirers.

There won't beryllium a shortage of takers if helium is so disposable - and it volition past beryllium absorbing to spot however the Bees splash the currency to regenerate him.

Antoine Semenyo

Bournemouth's prima antheral is different viewed arsenic a imaginable enactment to capable the immense spread vacated by Salah.

The Cherries are nether nary unit to sell, however, truthful helium volition outgo large bucks and volition expected bigger clubs crook to the erstwhile Bristol City antheral oregon volition they person questions implicit whether this standout run is simply a flash successful the pan?

Justin Kluivert

Recently linked with Newcastle - possibly inevitable considering his hat-trick astatine St James’ Park precocious - the Dutchman has been 1 of respective shining lights for Andoni Iraola aft adapting to a caller cardinal role, having mostly been miscast passim his vocation frankincense acold arsenic a wide player.

He volition not travel inexpensive but is good liked by respective clubs. A beardown extremity to the play could good transportation members of the elite to marque their move.

Kevin de Bruyne

This has been his astir disappointing run successful a Manchester City shirt. No longer a guaranteed first-team subordinate for Pep Guardiola, the MLS whitethorn good beryllium calling - thing the Belgian has admitted he's funny in.

City volition person wealth to walk again successful the off-season and if De Bruyne creates a spread successful their squad, past they whitethorn good beryllium large players successful the marketplace erstwhile much - peculiarly arsenic incoming sporting manager Hugo Viana looks to marque his mark.
