The January shopping cart for major EPL clubs

A mere three months after the commencement of club football, a lot of Clubs are eagerly waiting for the January transfer window to open. A lot of players are expected to move this winter and a whole lot of chops and changes are on the cards.

Arsenal

Demba Ba: After having missed out on a loan deal for the Senegal front man, the Gunners are lining up a bid to buy him this time around. Ba has fallen down the pecking order and has been playing second fiddle to Fernando Torres and Samuel Eto’o at the Bridge. Ba has made a mere 3 appearances in the Premier League and Arsenal need a backup striker for Olivier Giroud.

Prospective Bid: 10 Million Pounds

Javier Hernandez: Another candidate to back up Olivier Giroud is Javier Hernandez. Hernandez is stuck down the vine behind Van Persie, Rooney and Daniel Welbeck. Chicarito has been impressive this season contributing to victories against Stoke and Norwich City. He will cost Arsenal somewhere in the region of 10 to 15 Million pounds.

He is perfect for the job and has a lot of experience as the ‘Super Sub’.

Prospective Bid: 10-15 Million Pounds

Robert Lewandowski to Arsenal is a rumor that has gained some wind in the last week or so. However a move to Real Madrid is a more probable scenario.

Liverpool:

Konstantinos Mitroglou: Liverpool have shown some sensational form in front of goal with both Daniel Sturridge and Luis Suarez scorching the green at Anfield. Mitroglou has been in Midas touch scoring at will in the Super League. He will be a bargain buy; If Rodgers can convince the hierarchy.

Prospective Bid: 6 Million Pounds

Chelsea:

Eliaquim Mangala: Chelsea have been a bit shaky defensively, conceding 2 goals apiece against Newcastle and West Brom. David Luiz has not been sturdy defensively and has lost his place to Cahill. A recent rumor suggesting a potential move for Terry to Turkey, might spur Mourinho to make a winning bid for Mangala. The Porto defender will be a good addition to the back four at the Bridge.

Prospective Bid: 15 Million Pounds

Karim Benzema: The Frenchman has found his stride this season scoring four goals and providing three assists in the last three games. The lack of form last season might have suggested a move away from the Bernabeu. Chelsea are still searching for a front man, to join Samuel Eto’o and Fernando Torres. Benzema joined the Galacticos on a 30 Million pound transfer. Madrid will be looking to make some of that money back in case they decide to sell him.

Prospective Bid: 25 Million Pounds

Sami Khedira: Sami Khedira is unsettled at Real Madrid and a recent report suggested that he was not happy about the criticism levied on him during the losses suffered by Real Madrid. Real Madrid have been tracking Ramires as a replacement for Khedira and there might be a swap deal including the two.

Prospective Bid: 30 Million Pounds or a swap deal with Ramires.

Wayne Rooney to Chelsea is still a remote possibility but on current form United will not let him go easily.
