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.
Riyad Mahrez
If this season has had a new wonder boy, it has got to be Riyad Mahrez. The 24-year-old attacking midfielder has set the Premier League on fire. He along with Jamie Vardy have helped Leicester City to the top of the Premier League. It is quite surprising that Leicester City earlier bought the talented player for less than a million. However, should a big club come calling with a big offer, it would be irresistible for the Foxes to keep hold of their star man. Mahrez is playing with full confidence these days and is always ready to take both long shots and dribble past the defenders. His crosses are perfect, and his trough balls are second to none. All in all, the way he is playing these days, he will not be far away from winning the Premier League Player of the Year award.
STATS: Riyad Mahrez has been a consistent scorer this season with his 11 goals in 15 matches in all competitions. Moreover, he has provided 7 assists. Getting those stats in a league as tough as the EPL is huge. The most interesting fact is that he has managed to win the man of the match award an incredible 8 times.
