Top five possible transfers in January transfer window

Edin Dzeko (Manchester City):

Arsenal have been fabulous so far in the tournament and have seen their contributions from all quarters. However, for the team to attain silverware this season there is only one striking problem, which is the shortage of genuine forwards. Olivier Giroud is the only recognized top-class striker in their current squad, and while the Frenchman has been in superb form to start the season, questions must be asked about his longevity. With Polodski injured for up to 3 months, Arsene Wenger seems to have his eye set on Edin Dzeko as his main striker. Dzeko is already starting to be looked over by manager Manuel Pellegrini for the likes of Alvaro Negredo and Sergio Aguero who have been in fine form. Other than this, things are likely to get worse once Stevan Jovetic is healthy enough for selection. With City quite capable of offloading important players like they did with Tevez and Balatolli, Dzeko can soon find himself free to move and Wenger would be looking to nail the moment.

Robert Lewandowski (BVB):

The star striker of Borrusia Dortmund who took them to the final of the UEFA Champions League last year and will always be remembered for his spectacular performance against Real Madrid in which he scored all 4 goals for his team in the semi-finals, has for a long time been looking to make a move away from the Yellows. While he was being linked in a possible move to rivals Bayern Munich, things have fallen out and while his move out is all but imminent, there are a host of clubs looking to bag the forward. As his contract with BVB is all set to end this season, Manchester United or Bayern Munich are the frontrunners to bag the Polish star.

Ashley Young (Manchester United):

The England international has fallen down the pecking order at Old Trafford and has not featured for his club since the 4-1 defeat at Manchester City in late September and Manchester United look all set to cut their losses on their once main winger. David Moyes has reportedly made it clear that he wants to offload the player who has been plagued by injuries and has been woefully out of form. The emergence of teenager Adnan Januzaj and the lengthy extension of Nani’s contract are also clear indications that Young may not feature in the team anymore and several premier league clubs have been looking to seize the opportunity though nobody can claim to be further than the other in clinching the deal.

Iker Casillas (Real Madrid):

Former Real Madrid skipper and current Spain skipper, Iker Casillas has seen things go from bad to worse for him. The Real Madrid goalkeeper has not taken the field for the past 9 months, first having failed to find favor with Coach Jose Mourinho and now with current coach Carlos Ancelotti. He has failed to usurp Diego Lopez as the club’s first-choice goalkeeper, thanks to his injury woes and the ravaging form of Lopez and the realization of the need to get game time has slowly dawned on the player who recently admitted to thinking of a move way. Though no club has officially begun to show interest, everybody is waiting for him to throw his hat in the ring before making the first move.

Loic Remy(Newcastle United):

He recently turned down a permanent transfer to Newcastle United in January as he wants to keep his options open ahead of a summer move and this has made the football pundits predict that Loic Remy is preparing for a move to London based Tottenham Hotspurs. Tottenham are among the long-term admirers of Remy and the former Marseille man is understood to be keen on returning to London having settled quickly in the English capital after joining QPR earlier this year .Further, he has scored five times in five Premier League games so far and the 26-year-old is well aware that there a barrage of offers his him as soon as the transfer window opens.
