Five premier league players who could move in the January transfer window
Not often major moves can be witnessed in the January window as clubs do not want to spoil the rhythm of the team by either letting their players leave or sign new players in the middle of the season.Even if any club decides to make a business in the window, they often do it for the short term by buying players who are not able to get regular first team football, to help them achieve their targets in the second half of the season. Not many headline signings are often made in the winter window.But, in the recent few seasons, the Premier League has been very active in the market with players like Juan Mata, Andy Carrol and Fernando Torres all moving in the January window for big money.So let us look at the five premier league players who could move in the transfer window if a right offer arrives:
#1 Petr Cech - Chelsea
Since signing for Chelsea from Rennes in 2004, Cech has been the first choice for the Blues with his impressive performances. The Czech international has won three Premier League titles and was also in goal for both the Champions League final victory over Bayern Munich in 2012 and the Europa League triumph against Benfica a year later.
Not long ago, he was recognized by many as one of the best goalkeepers in the world and he was considered as an immovable force in the Blues starting line-up. Now things have changed and Cech has lost his place in the starting line-up for no fault of his own.
After Thibaut Courtois impressed with Atletico Madrid during his previous two loan spells, Jose Mourinho decided to bring the player back to the club. Hence, Cech was dropped to fit the Belgian in the starting line up.
Cech has made no secret of his displeasure at playing second fiddle to Thibaut Courtois in the Chelsea lineup this season. So it is unclear whether he will remain with the club beyond January. However, Mourinho will wish for him to stay since he has no cover in that position as the third choice keeper Mark Schwarzer joined Leicester earlier in the window.
