Yet, a winter exit is considered difficult, especially given the coach's dependence on the player.

B. Johnson

This Wales winger has had first-team opportunities hard to come by at Tottenham this term. Although finishing as the side's leading goalscorer the previous campaign, he has begun only a small number of Premier League games. It is understood the North London club is open to a sale for the correct price, thought to be in the around forty million pounds. Bournemouth appear to be leading the chase, with Crystal Palace, Aston Villa, and Brentford additionally showing an interest.

Additionally, there are suggestions from Spain that he is prepared to accept a reduced salary for a switch to the Spanish giants.

The striker helped his Saudi club to victory in the domestic cup final.

C. Gallagher

The energetic English midfielder drew considerable attention in the off-season but remained at Atlético Madrid. Having limited starting appearances in Spain this season, he may be keen to find more playing time ahead of the World Cup. United are heavily linked, and a return to Selhurst Park, a club he shone on a temporary deal, remains a possibility, although wage demands could prove a stumbling block.

Harvey Elliott

Although starring and winning the best player award at the Under-21 European Championship last summer, this young midfielder has struggled for game time during his loan spell at Villa.

Kenan Yildiz

As his existing contract running down, a host of English clubs – including Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, and Tottenham – are monitoring the developments. Juventus are eager to secure the 20-year-old to a new long-term agreement but face a battle to retain one of the continent's brightest young talents.

Newcastle are believed to be frontrunners, but could face stiff competition from the Spanish champions for a deal priced at around £22 million.
