Premier League clubs will turn their attention to the FA Cup over the next few days, though the competition is far from a distraction from the January window. Although there has not been any significant transfer activity so far this month, work is going on behind the scenes to ensure that top targets can be signed and clubs are not frantically scouring the market for reinforcements on deadline day.
Manchester United have already completed three pieces of important business this month, allowing Donny van de Beek to join Eintracht Frankfurt on loan, cutting Sergio Reguilon’s loan short and triggering the contract extension clause in Aaron Wan-Bissaka’s contract. A fourth deal awaits as Jadon Sancho is on the cusp of returning to Borussia Dortmund on loan until the end of the campaign.
In contrast, rivals Chelsea and Arsenal are yet to dip their toe into the window. The London outfits are expected to start pursuing their top targets soon though, with both clubs looking to bolster their defensive ranks and sign a new No. 9.
