Premier League Future Signings
In this report, we explore potential transfers and signings that could bolster each club’s aspirations, while acknowledging some may be dreams in the realm of fantasy football.
Arsenal – Victor Osimhen
The Arsenal faithful are rekindling their hopes after a stunning victory over Manchester City.
Despite the buzz around Declan Rice, there’s a lingering feeling that Kai Havertz’s addition hasn’t quite ignited their attack.
Fabrizio Romano says Liverpool now scouting ‘fabulous’ £43M center-back: Report
Piers Morgan, the outspoken Arsenal fan, has urged the club to seize the opportunity presented by Victor Osimhen’s rift with Napoli.
Osimhen could be the prolific marksman that Arsenal needs to mount a title challenge.
Aston Villa – Adam Armstrong
Unai Emery’s impact at Aston Villa is undeniable, with Ollie Watkins’ prolific form bolstering the team’s position in the Premier League.
However, the lack of a solid backup striker poses a threat to Villa’s aspirations.
Southampton’s Adam Armstrong, currently excelling in the Championship, could provide the much-needed reinforcement in the event of an injury to Watkins.
Liverpool think ‘unbelievable’ 17-year-old player could now follow Ben Doak into the first team
Bournemouth – Kalvin Phillips
Bournemouth’s woes were brutally exposed in a 3-0 defeat to Everton, highlighting their midfield deficiencies.
A prime Roy Keane may be a dream, but a move for Kalvin Phillips, should his Manchester City situation continue, could offer more realistic support to Bournemouth’s midfield.
Brentford – Ivan Toney’s Shadow
Despite midfielder Mathias Jensen’s four league goals, the shadow of suspended striker Ivan Toney looms large over Brentford. Whether or not Toney stays, the Bees need reinforcements upfront.
Thomas Frank might consider Chuka Akpom, who’s struggling for game time at Ajax, as a potential addition.
Is Alexis Mac Allister the number 6 game plan for Liverpool or is Andre wanted?
Brighton – Mykola Matvienko
Brighton’s 2-2 draw with Liverpool showcased their attacking prowess but also their defensive vulnerability.
Mykola Matvienko, the Ukrainian center-back, could bring the assurance on the ball and versatility that the Seagulls need. With funds available post-Moises Caicedo’s sale, this move seems realistic.

Burnley – Jack Clarke
Burnley’s failed bid for Sunderland’s Jack Clarke now appears to be a missed opportunity.
Clarke’s impressive performances for the Black Cats in the Premier League, scoring seven times, make him a fitting addition to Vincent Kompany’s philosophy.
Chelsea – Marc Guehi
While Chelsea’s recent victories hint at a resurgence, the continued reliance on 39-year-old Thiago Silva raises questions about planning for the future.
Former Chelsea player Marc Guehi, impressing at Crystal Palace, could offer a more sustainable solution.

Crystal Palace – Jack Clarke
The Eagles have managed well in Wilfried Zaha’s absence but lack his creative spark. With Jordan Ayew’s dwindling impact, Jack Clarke, whose versatility can be an asset, might be the missing link for Palace.
Everton – Harry Maguire
Everton’s 3-0 win over Bournemouth hasn’t eased the concerns of realistic fans. James Tarkowski and Jarrad Branthwaite are currently the first-choice center-backs.
A move for Harry Maguire, eager for regular game time, could solidify their defense.

Fulham – Richarlison and Marco Silva
The departure of Alexander Mitrovic has left Fulham with an attacking void. While finding a replacement is challenging, a reunion with Richarlison under Marco Silva, who’s worked with him before, could be a game-changer.
Liverpool – Jude Bellingham Dream
Gary Neville’s arguments for Declan Rice or Rodri at Liverpool continue to linger.
Jude Bellingham’s absence stings and a potential fallout between player and club might provide a slim chance for Liverpool to secure his services.

Luton – Amad Diallo
Luton’s solitary top-flight win exposed their need for more quality. Capitalizing on out-of-favor stars like Manchester United’s Amad Diallo, returning from injury and in need of game time, could bolster their attack.
Manchester City – Kalvin Phillips
Despite their depth, Manchester City’s recent defeats highlighted their reliance on Kevin de Bruyne and Rodri. Kalvin Phillips, struggling at Leeds, could be a sensible addition to provide cover.
Manchester United – Eduardo Camavinga
The Red Devils are still grappling with midfield issues. Real Madrid’s Eduardo Camavinga offers a world-class solution for midfield and left-back cover if he can be convinced to leave the Spanish giants.

Newcastle – Marc Cucurella
Newcastle’s recent Champions League exploits signal a lack of defensive depth. A second attempt to sign Chelsea’s Marc Cucurella in January could bolster their backline.
Nottingham Forest – Caoimhin Kelleher
Forest’s quest for a top-class goalkeeper continues. Liverpool’s Caoimhin Kelleher, a solid backup and competition for Matt Turner, could be a valuable addition.
Sheffield United – Jesse Lingard
The Blades are in dire need of reinforcements. Jesse Lingard’s charisma and energy could provide a much-needed lift and potentially pay off.
Liverpool star who played worse than Robbo could now be dropped
Tottenham – Lautaro Martinez
Tottenham’s attacking prowess this season could be further enhanced by a striker like Lautaro Martinez. With Harry Kane’s future uncertain, Martinez’s goal-scoring ability may be the missing piece.
West Ham – Dusan Vlahovic
Despite Jarrod Bowen’s stellar performance, West Ham could benefit from a world-class striker. Dusan Vlahovic from Juventus could be the answer if the Italian giants continue to underwhelm.
The January transfer window holds the promise of reshaping the fortunes of Premier League clubs, and these potential signings reflect the varying aspirations and challenges each team faces.
