With  January fast approaching, who could go where once the festive fixtures are over and the transfer window opens?

Saido Berahino is probably known as the ‘bad boy’ of the transfer window now. He’s tried and failed to move away from West Bromich Albion for the past three transfer windows and this will be his fourth; this may be the one where he finally does move on though. The England international is out of contract in six months and looks very unwilling to sign a new one after rejecting an improved deal in the summer and is not in the team due to being ‘overweight’. His most likely destination is Stoke City who tried to sign him in the summer. The Potters will be keen to secure his services as strikers Mame Biram Diouf and Wified Bony go to the African cup of nations in January, only leaving them with veterans Peter Crouch and Jon Walters up front. Surely The Baggies will want to get something for the 23 year old after rejecting offers in excess of 30 million in the past.

The England international continues to be linked with a move away from Liverpool after falling out of favour with Jurgen Klopp due to the new style of play he has brought to Merseyside with Roberto Firmino playing as a false 9. West Ham would be the most likely decision if the striker was to leave as they’re well short in the striking department after a poor summer transfer window. Flops Gokan Tore and Simeone Zaza look to be returning to their parent clubs after not adapting to life in the Premier League.

Mamadou Sakho

Another player that could well leave Merseyside is Mamadou Sakho. Jurgen Klopp has repeatedly said that he is not part of his plans and is free to leave in January. Stoke City had a loan bid accepted in the summer however the player rejected the move in hope that he would earn his place back into the Liverpool side. Other potential suiters have come in the shape of West Bromich Albion as they have an aging back four in Gareth McAuley (37) and Jonas Olsson (33). Italian giants AC and Inter Milan have also both shown interest in the player however the Frenchman is thought to prefer a move back to his homeland in France.

Memphis Depay

Since the arrival of Jose Mourinho, Memphis Depay has been only a bit part figure for Manchester United after falling behind the pecking order. The Dutchman has only made seven appearances all season, four of which have come in the Premier League as a substitute. Depay is odds on to join Everton on loan after The Toffees declare their interest in the player. Juventus have also shown interest in the 22 year old however Depay is keen to stay in the Premier League according to his agent.

Cesc Fabregas

The Spaniard has fallen out of the starting line up at Chelsea under Antonia Conte. There have been suggestions of a rift between manager and player however many of the West London club fans believe he has lost his place due to the fact the team is in splendid form. The new system Chelsea are adapting to is a 3-4-3 which requires two holding midfielders in the shape of Nemanja Matic and N’Golo Kante Fabregas is more well known for his excellent passing ability and assist making rather than making the tackles and interceptions that the two in the side do so well. Nevertheless, when Fabregas has been called upon, he has impressed so there will be no shortage of suitors if the player would like to leave. West Ham are the bookies favourites to sign the 29 year old although AC Milan are also rumoured to be interested.
