FINAL 48 HOURS: TRANSFER WINDOW LIVE! MAN CITY TO TRIGGER ANTOINE SEMENYO’S RELEASE CLAUSE
Man City are set to trigger Antoine Semenyo’s £65m clause. Discover the latest on Marc Guehi, Joshua Zirkzee, and Kobbie Mainoo.
Alright, so the January transfer window's almost here, and it could really shake things up in the Premier League, both for the title race and for avoiding relegation. Teams might buy new players to push for the title or just to survive.
This year, the window's open from January 1st to February 2nd at 7pm, so there's plenty of time for deals to happen. Some transfers have been planned for a while, but others will probably pop up at the last minute.
Last year, Premier League teams spent a total of £370 million in January, with Man City spending over half of it (£190m) on Omar Marmoush, Vitor Reis, Abdukodir Khusanov, and Nico Gonzalez. But that's nothing compared to January 2023, when a record £815 million was spent!
As always, you can keep up with all the goings-on on the Mirror Football live transfer blog. But here are some possible transfers to watch out for:
Antoine Semenyo to Man City
This one looks pretty certain. Bournemouth are willing to sell Semenyo, and everyone knows about his £65m release clause. Plus, the Ghana international has made it clear he wants to join City after playing really well recently.
Liverpool, Tottenham, and Chelsea were also interested in Semenyo, but they've backed off since City started talking to him. The talks are going well, and the 25-year-old is expected to join City in early January, after scoring eight goals in 16 league games.
Marc Guehi to Liverpool
This deal seemed like a done thing in the summer. Guehi even had a medical to move from Crystal Palace to Liverpool for £35m, but then the Palace chairman, Steve Parish, stopped it at the last second. But the Palace captain's contract ends in June, and the club has accepted he'll probably leave.
The only questions are where and when. Arne Slot said before that Liverpool wouldn't try to get Guehi in January, but Giovanni Leoni's ACL injury, Ibrahima Konate's inconsistent play, and interest from Real Madrid and Bayern Munich could change their minds. The England defender wants to move to Liverpool, but Palace wants to keep him until the end of the season.
Joshua Zirkzee to Roma
Zirkzee hasn't been great since joining Manchester United from Bologna in the summer of 2024 for £36.5m, and now he might leave. Roma's sporting director, Ricky Massara, was in London in December to talk about it, and United are willing to sell, but only if they get the right price, since Ruben Amorim's squad is already thin.
United will sell for around €35-40m (£30-35m), since the 24-year-old's contract runs until June 2029. But Roma wants a loan deal for an initial €5m-6m (£4.3-5.2m) with an obligation to buy if they get into the Champions League. It's one to watch.
Brennan Johnson to Crystal Palace
Johnson scored 18 goals for Spurs last season, but Thomas Frank hasn't used him much, so a move is likely. The Athletic says that a £35m deal has been agreed between the two clubs, and Palace just needs to sort out personal terms with Johnson.
Johnson joined Spurs from Nottingham Forest in September 2023 for £47.5m, but now he's moving on.
Savinho to Tottenham
Mohammed Kudus has basically taken Johnson's place in the Spurs lineup, but the winger's departure could mean a new player arrives. Tottenham bid £60m for Savinho in the summer, but Man City turned it down. They might be more willing to sell now that Semenyo is joining, which will create even more competition for playing time.
Savinho has been on the bench at City this season and might jump at the chance to play more. Also, his record of five goals and 16 assists in 70 games might tempt City to sell.
Kobbie Mainoo to Napoli
Mainoo has been frustrated this season because he's been on the bench under Amorim. Bruno Fernandes' injury and Mainoo's own knock have made things even worse, and he wants to leave.
Napoli have already benefitted from signing Scott McTominay from United and want to do it again with Mainoo. Amorim has said that Mainoo isn't for sale and is part of the club's future, so it's not clear if United would change their mind, especially with their injuries and players leaving for AFCON.
Ivan Toney to Everton
Everton aren't getting much from Beto and Thierno Barry (just three goals in 40 appearances between them this season), so they want a new striker. Ivan Toney wants to get into the England squad for the summer and could come back from making a lot of money in Saudi Arabia.
Toney has 43 goals and 10 assists in 63 games for Al-Ahli and would be a good signing. The problem is that Al-Ahli don't want to sell, and Toney would have a huge tax bill if he returns to the UK.
Adama Traore to West Ham
The Hammers need new players quickly as they get closer to being relegated. Nuno Espirito Santo will get support in the transfer window, and the former Wolves manager is looking at a familiar player. Traore was a favorite when they were both at Wolves, and Fulham are happy to sell the winger, who isn't playing much under Marco Silva.
Axel Disasi to Crystal Palace
Chelsea wants to find new clubs for Disasi and Raheem Sterling, who were in the 'bomb squad' over the summer. Disasi is now back in the first team under Enzo Maresca, but he's still not a regular starter.
Sunderland, Bournemouth, and West Ham were all interested in Disasi in the summer, but Palace seems like the most likely option, since they need to plan for when Guehi leaves.
BRUNO SALTOR OFFICIALLY JOINS TOTTENHAM AS ASSISTANT COACH FOR THE NORTH LONDON DERBY
Tottenham appoints Bruno Saltor! Discover the new coaching team under Igor Tudor and the departures following Thomas Frank's exit.
Tottenham Hotspur just shook up their coaching staff, bringing in Bruno Saltor, a guy who’s worked with Chelsea and West Ham in the past.
Saltor’s stepping in alongside interim boss Igor Tudor until the season wraps up. Spurs let go of Thomas Frank earlier this month, and, like Manchester United, they’ve decided to go with a temporary setup for now and figure out the bigger picture in the summer.
Tudor, who’s managed clubs like Marseille, Lazio, and Juventus, is set to take charge for the first time this weekend in the North London derby against Arsenal. Saltor will be in the dugout for his first Spurs match, too.
If you’ve followed Saltor’s career, you might know he’s often worked with Graham Potter. That’s how he ended up at both Chelsea and West Ham. When Potter left Chelsea in 2023, Saltor took over as interim head coach. His one match in charge ended in a 0-0 draw with Liverpool. Frank Lampard replaced him soon after, and Saltor stayed on as part of the coaching staff until Mauricio Pochettino arrived, at which point he moved on. He later reunited with Potter at West Ham but left when Potter did in September.
Tottenham’s official statement confirmed the news: “Following the arrival of Igor Tudor as Head Coach until the end of the season, we can now confirm the appointment of three additional coaches to our Men’s First Team coaching staff. We welcome Bruno Saltor as Igor's assistant coach." Born in El Masnou, Spain, Saltor started his playing career in his home country before joining Brighton in 2012. He made 235 appearances there over seven years, then moved into coaching with the Seagulls after retiring in 2019. Since then, he’s picked up experience at Chelsea and West Ham.
Along with Saltor’s appointment, Spurs also announced some departures. Justin Cochrane, John Heitinga, and Chris Haslam are all leaving the coaching staff after Frank’s exit. The club thanked them for their efforts and wished them well.
GLASNER OUT? CRYSTAL PALACE CONSIDERING IMMEDIATE EXIT FOR BOSS AFTER DISMAL EUROPEAN DRAW
Oliver Glasner’s exit is imminent! Discover why Robbie Keane has emerged as the favorite to lead Crystal Palace out of crisis.
Oliver Glasner was supposed to stick around at Crystal Palace until the end of the season. That was the plan, anyway. But after another rough run of results, his exit could come a lot sooner.
Thursday night in Bosnia should’ve been nothing special, just a routine first leg against a team Palace should handle easily, with the real test back at Selhurst Park next week. Instead, a 1-1 draw against Zrinjski Mostar turned into another mess in a season that’s gotten uglier by the week for Glasner and Palace.
The travelling fans didn’t hide how they felt.
Palace have only managed one win in their last 15 games. That’s not a blip; it’s a full-on collapse, and it looks like Glasner’s time might be up even faster than everyone thought.
People at the top of the club have started openly asking if letting Glasner finish out his contract is actually hurting more than helping. He said back in January that he’d leave when his deal was up in the summer, but with results falling off a cliff and morale at rock bottom, those discussions have picked up speed.
Word is, Palace have already started looking for Glasner’s replacement, planning for a summer hire. But now, it looks like they might bring in his successor right away.
One name has shot straight to the top of the list: Robbie Keane.
TalkSPORT’s Alex Crook says Palace are considering Keane as a short-term fix if Glasner goes before the season ends. Keane’s reputation has soared lately. He won the Israeli Premier League with Maccabi Tel Aviv, then took the Hungarian league title in his first season at Ferencváros.
His win rate at Maccabi was over 73 per cent. He’s also done time as an assistant coach at Leeds and Middlesbrough. People who’ve played for him, like Ireland’s Callum O’Dowda, rave about him. O’Dowda said, “As soon as he opens his mouth, you want to listen. It’s phenomenal, really. On the coaching side,e he has been good.”
For now, Keane is still in charge at Ferencvaros, who are still in the Europa League, so prying him away won’t be simple.
Palace sit 13th in the Premier League, eight points clear of the relegation zone, but that gap feels less safe with every week they fail to win.
Tottenham even considered Keane as an interim manager before they went with Igor Tudor.
