TRANSFER GOSSIP: Man City consider move for Savinho who is impressing on loan at City Football Group side Girona while Saudi interest is mounting for Inter Milan forward Alexis Sanchez

Christmas Day is over and that means we are now in the final stretch to the new year and the start of the January transfer window.

As injuries pile up and a congested fixture list begins to take its toll, a number of Premier League clubs are assessing whether their ranks have the necessary depth to challenge in the second half of the season.

Manchester United could have a busy month – in terms of spending – following the arrival of Sir Jim Ratcliffe at Old Trafford, which was announced on Christmas Eve.

The likes of Jadon Sancho, Raphael Varane and Anthony Martial have all been linked with a move away from the club.
