The January transfer window is heating up as Premier League giants Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester United are all vying to bolster their attacking options. With the title race and top-four battle intensifying, these clubs are ready to splash the cash on proven goal-scorers.
Arsenal's Striker Search
Mikel Arteta's Arsenal have identified Newcastle's Alexander Isak as their primary target. The Swedish international has been in scintillating form this season, showcasing his clinical finishing and intelligent movement. However, prising him away from St James' Park won't come cheap, with the Magpies likely to demand a fee in excess of £80 million.
Liverpool's Forward Plans
Liverpool are keeping tabs on Sporting Lisbon's Viktor Gyokeres, who has taken Portuguese football by storm since his summer move from Coventry. The Reds see the Swedish striker as ideal competition for Darwin Núñez, with his physicality and work rate perfectly suited to Jürgen Klopp's system.
Manchester United's Dilemma
Erik ten Hag's Manchester United are reportedly considering a move for Aston Villa's Ollie Watkins. The England international has been consistently impressive under Unai Emery, but Villa's strong league position makes a mid-season departure unlikely unless a massive offer materializes.
Other Transfer Rumours
- Chelsea monitoring Brighton's Evan Ferguson
- Tottenham interested in RB Leipzig's Benjamin Šeško
- Newcastle exploring loan options for out-of-favour forwards
With several weeks remaining in the transfer window, expect these rumours to intensify as clubs look to gain an edge in the second half of the season.
