<p>The January transfer window is still a couple of months away, but clubs are already on the lookout for promising market opportunities. Most significant transfers happen during the summer, and the winter window is typically utilized by teams seeking to fill critical gaps in their rosters. Nonetheless, investments in January can be substantial; historically, there have been 15 deals exceeding €50 million, with Philippe Coutinho’s record €135 million transfer to Barcelona in 2018 still standing tall.</p>
<br>
<p>This January also sees the significant influence of the World Cup, as players who aren’t regularly seeing match action will be eager for a move to keep their international prospects alive. Major European clubs will also be keen to acquire emerging talents before their valuations escalate. With this in mind, we’ve pinpointed 10 Premier League players likely to make moves this January.</p>
<br>
<h2>Ten Premier League Stars Likely to Change Clubs in January</h2>
<br>
<p>Kobbie Mainoo sought a loan move from Manchester United during the summer, but his aspirations were blocked by the club's management. At just 20 years old, Mainoo has emerged as a promising talent for both club and country; however, he hasn't been a regular starter under Ruben Amorim. With no Premier League starts this season, he will be keen to find a club where he can regain his place in the England squad.</p>
<br>
<p>Iliman Ndiaye is noteworthy on this list, not for a lack of minutes but rather for his impressive performances at Everton. While Jack Grealish has been in the spotlight, Ndiaye has arguably proved to be the team's standout player, contributing five goals in ten league matches. There was preliminary interest in the Senegal international last summer, and he remains a target for several Premier League teams.</p>
<br>
<p>Joshua Zirkzee has had a tough time, failing to secure a single start this season and gathering a mere 90 minutes of play over five appearances. Despite glimpses of his inherent talent, Zirkzee hasn’t managed to make a consistent impact since arriving from Bologna in 2024. The 24-year-old aims to return to the Netherlands national team for the World Cup, but sitting on the bench at United won’t help his cause. He has admirers in Italy, and a loan or permanent move could be on the horizon.</p>
<br>
<p>Richarlison, the Brazilian international, began the season brightly, scoring two goals against Burnley and assisting against Manchester City. However, he hasn't found the net in his last ten appearances across all competitions, and Tottenham might consider cashing in. Everton has been linked with re-signing the striker, but there is also credible interest from Saudi Arabia.</p>
<br>
<p>Manchester City is set to allow Nathan Aké to depart in January after turning down offers during the summer. The Netherlands international has only started once in the Premier League this season, and City reportedly seeks around €30 million for him. Crystal Palace, Inter Milan, and Juventus are all monitoring his situation, making a January transfer appear likely.</p>
<br>
<p>Axel Disasi is considered part of Chelsea's 'bomb-squad' and currently has no future at Stamford Bridge. Despite having a contract running until 2029, Chelsea will take every possible measure to offload him in January. Juventus is the latest club to express interest, and a loan deal with an option to buy could be beneficial for all involved.</p>
<br>
<p>Federico Chiesa, once deemed surplus to requirements, has made some notable contributions this season, including a vital goal against Bournemouth in Liverpool’s league opener and an assist against Manchester United. Nevertheless, the 28-year-old is still largely a peripheral player, and it's expected that Italian clubs will rekindle their interest in January.</p>
<br>
<p>Kalvin Phillips made his comeback from an Achilles injury against Huddersfield in the League Cup in September, but that remains his only action this season. The 29-year-old is still under contract with City until 2028 but does not appear to have a future at the club. Previous loan spells at West Ham United and Ipswich Town have not been successful, but he will likely seek another loan opportunity come January.</p>
<br>
<p>There was much anticipation surrounding Niclas Füllkrug's move to West Ham in 2024 as he competed with Kai Havertz for a spot as Germany’s leading striker. However, the former Borussia Dortmund player has struggled in England, netting just three goals in 27 matches. Recently, Füllkrug's agent acknowledged that the arrangement has not worked out, indicating he will be on the move in January.</p>
<br>
<p>Raheem Sterling, one of the highest earners in the Premier League, has been sidelined by Chelsea. After a disappointing loan spell at Arsenal last season, he has been training alone at Cobham. While his salary poses challenges for a permanent transfer in January, a loan move may offer a more feasible solution.</p>
