Pictures from the Carabao Cup clash between Chelsea and Newcastle
With the January transfer window fast approaching, Premier League sides are putting the finishing touches to their recruitment plans ahead of what promises to be a mesmerising month. Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal are all expected to splash the cash, with marquee departures anticipated as well.
Erik ten Hag is keen to bolster his ranks significantly in January, with the departures of Jadon Sancho, Anthony Martial and Raphael Varane expected to fund the overhaul at the Theatre of Dreams. United are looking to sign another centre-back, midfielder and striker in January, though it is unclear whether Sir Jim Ratcliffe will have a role to play in the window at this stage.
Similarly, Chelsea are also planning another major shake-up next month. Mauricio Pochettino has publicly spoken about how he believes further new signings are required at Stamford Bridge, with a world-class striker at the top of his shopping list.
Elsewhere, Arsenal, Tottenham and Liverpool are all scouring the market for defensive reinforcements, with all of the aforementioned sides looking to bring in a younger prospect to learn from their experienced stars. Express Sport keeps you up to date with all the latest…

Spurs eye Chelsea outcast
Tottenham remain interested in Chelsea outcast Trevoh Chalobah, according to TEAMtalk.
Ange Postecoglou is desperate for Spurs to sign at least one defender in January, though several arrivals in that department should not be ruled out.
Chalobah was among those linked with a move to North London during the latter stages of the summer window, and the 24-year-old appears to still be a consideration for Tottenham.
Express Sport understands that Crystal Palace are also in the frame for the Chelsea academy product, though they are targeting him to play in midfield whilst Cheick Doucoure is sidelined through injury.
United handed ‘next Rooney’ boost
Manchester United have been handed a major pursuit in their pursuit of the ‘next Rooney’, Copenhagen star Roony Bardghji.
The versatile forward has been heavily linked with a move to Old Trafford in January, with Chelsea and Tottenham also among his admirers.
According to 90min, Copenhagen are ‘ready to sell’ Bardghji and are open to sanctioning his exit next month.
United are among the eight Premier League outfits said to have held talks with the representatives of the 18-year-old recently, with several European powerhouses also in the frame.
