With just over 36 hours to go in the January transfer window, time is running out for clubs looking to complete deals before the deadline.
The transfer market has been characterized by a distinct lack of major moves this summer, with clubs looking to rein in their spending to meet the Premier League’s profit and sustainability rules.
Yet rumors continue to swirl as we approach the deadline, with Tottenham linked with a move for Bournemouth striker Dominic Solanke worth £50 million and still considering a bid for Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher .
The Blues could also part ways with Armando Broja provided they can find a club ready to deliver on their £50m valuation for the player, while Manchester United are looking for a former Middlesbrough striker and Aston Villa are approaching a new goalkeeper.
