Christmas is nearing and so is one of the most exciting time for the football fans, The January Transfer Window. The transfer window is almost back with its surprises, and we are ready to witness some Big-Money-Transfers yet again. The January transfer window has a unique charm of its own. It not only provides record breaking transfers but also makes and breaks the teams, ultimately shaping the final league standings and determines the trophy holders.
This current season has undoubtedly been one of the craziest ones. Unexpected and unprecedented rise and fall of various teams and players have made this coming period more exciting than ever.
It is certain that we are going to witness a significant number of transfers this season, but some big name players are most likely to swap clubs in the coming month. Let us take a look at the top five transfer targets for this January transfer window.
Alexis Sanchez
The Chilean has lit the Premier League on fire ever since his arrival from Barcelona to Arsenal. He has scored, he has assisted, and he has made defenders look awkward. All in all, he has been a consistent world-class player that the Premier League has missed for some time. However, various reports suggest that the Gunners could lose their star man in this January as Spanish giants have identified him as the long time successor for Cristiano Ronaldo. The Madrid giants are looking to spend as much as $75 million to bring him back to Spain. If the deal happens, he will become one of the few players who would have played for Barcelona and Real both. Madrid are one of those clubs who get what they want. If they decide to pursue the Chilean this January, Wenger would have no option, but to sell.
STATS: Sanchez has scored 11 goals this season in 25 appearances. He has also bagged 6 assists. Thanks to Arsenal’s free flowing football, Alexis has maintained 3.7 shots per game. Apart from maintaining a healthy pass ratio of 80.2% in the Premier League, the Chile international has won the Man of the Match award as many as six times this season.
