As the January 2025 transfer window races toward its final week, Premier League clubs are in a scurry to get deals over the line ahead of the deadline. Here's a breakdown of the most intriguing and impactful transfer news dominating headlines, ranked by significance and potential impact:
1. Benjamin Sesko 'Approves' Arsenal Move
It's been months now that Arsenal need a striker, and Benjamin Sesko seems to be the answer. The RB Leipzig star reportedly gave the green light to join the Emirates Stadium, which could put an end to the Gunners' prolonged striker search. This transfer might be pivotal for Arsenal, targeting a push for the Premier League title. With his physical presence and goal-scoring ability, this is one blockbuster potential signing.
2. The Call For Marcus Rashford's Barcelona Exit
The English attacker Marcus Rashford reportedly contacted Barcelona as a means to an exit from Manchester United. Devastating as it would be for the United team, it may well just turn out to be precisely the tonic that has been lacking in both the Premier League and La Liga. The potential departure of Marcus Rashford could really damage the Manchester United attack; it is bound to provide a quality lift to Barcelona.3. Chelsea Keeping Tabs on Alejandro Garnacho
Chelsea's interest in Manchester United's talented youngster Alejandro Garnacho gains momentum. Having sought to bring flair and dynamism into their ranks, the Blues do regard Garnacho as one for the long term. Get the deal, and Chelsea will have secured one of the most exciting talents in the Premier League, but that may take quite a great deal of a transfer fee to tempt him away from Old Trafford.
4. Matheus Cunha Linked to Arsenal
Wolves' forward, Matheus Cunha, is very much on the radar at Arsenal as an alternative to Sesko. The Brazilian, with his versatility and knowledge of the Premier League, will be a good fit for Mikel Arteta. Not as glamorous as Sesko, but in Cunha's arrival, Arsenal's attacking options would be pretty strong.5. Manchester United's Pursuit of Patrick Dorgu
United are also keen on Lecce full-back Patrick Dorgu, who has been on the radar of top European clubs. Though comments from Lecce manager Marco Giampaolo in recent times suggested that Dorgu is coping well with speculation surrounding his future, United are edging closer to securing the young defender. He would give them much-needed solidity in defence.
6. Chelsea Considering Mathys Tel as Nkunku Cover
Chelsea are considering a loan for Bayern Munich forward Mathys Tel as a possible replacement for Christopher Nkunku, who might leave with the German champions showing interest. Tel's arrival can add depth to Chelsea's attacking forces, especially since Nkunku's exit might be a certainty.
7. David Moyes on Everton's Transfer Plans
Everton boss David Moyes has indicated Orel Mangala and Dominic Calvert-Lewin's injuries might push the Toffees to late action. It will not be high-profile but potentially two or three biggest decisions regarding where they could spend their coming season may lie ahead of them.
8. Liverpool and Manchester City Adding Depth
Liverpool and Manchester City are still active in the market, for both teams need last reinforcements to strengthen their positions in the higher positions of the table. For them, City have already integrated their signings into the eleven holders, in what smells of a wish to be lords.Conclusion
The last week of the January window is certainly shaping up full of twists and turns, with high-stakes negotiations between top-flight Premier League clubs. The dealings that will be closely followed are Arsenal's move for Sesko, Rashford's possible switch to Barcelona, and Chelsea's radical moves for Garnacho and Tel. Stay tuned as these narratives continue to unfold.
