Transfer Update: Key Targets and Interest in Premier League

Bournemouth has identified Brennan Johnson, the 24-year-old Welsh forward from Tottenham, and Abdul Fatawu, a 21-year-old Ghanaian winger from Leicester City, as potential replacements for Antoine Semenyo, should the Ghanaian forward depart in January. Crystal Palace is also in the running, reportedly planning a £35 million bid for Johnson, who is a Europa League winner.

Additionally, Barcelona is keen to secure a free transfer for Bournemouth’s 28-year-old Argentine defender, Marcos Senesi, in the upcoming summer window.

Meanwhile, Liverpool seems inclined to defer their pursuit of Crystal Palace’s 25-year-old England defender, Marc Guehi, until the summer rather than making an immediate move this January.

Everton is contemplating loan deals for Manchester United’s 20-year-old midfielder, Kobbie Mainoo, as well as 24-year-old Netherlands forward, Joshua Zirkzee. Reports suggest that Manchester United is also aiming to bring back Scottish midfielder Scott McTominay, currently with Napoli, to Old Trafford.

Wolves have set their sights on Niko Sigur, a 22-year-old Canadian defensive midfielder from Hajduk Split.

In the MLS, Chicago Fire is looking to acquire Barcelona’s 37-year-old Polish striker, Robert Lewandowski, but faces competition from Fenerbahce and clubs in Saudi Arabia.

Conor Gallagher is anticipated to leave Atletico Madrid in January, with interest from Manchester United, Tottenham, and Newcastle for the 25-year-old England midfielder.

Everton, however, has ruled out a move for Wolves’ 25-year-old Norwegian forward, Jorgen Strand Larsen, who has also been linked to West Ham.

Leeds has joined Flamengo in the race to sign Lazio’s 27-year-old Argentine forward, Taty Castellanos.

Finally, Manchester United, Arsenal, Newcastle, and Brentford are all monitoring Hoffenheim’s 19-year-old Ivorian winger, Bazoumana Toure.
