The Premier League is the most followed football league across the globe. Every transfer window, a number of talented players move to England to take their career to the next level.

Though there has been hits and flops, playing in England is the dream of almost every professional footballer. This season, the matches have been very competitive, and it reflects on the Premier League table.

A lot of teams would need new players to get them out of a bad phase, while others will be looking for signings to achieve higher aspirations. On that note, we have compiled a list of 3 players who look very likely to move to England in January.


#1 Nabil Fekir

Nabil Fekir, the French winger has been plying his trade at Lyon in the French league. He has been their captain and their star performer for the past few seasons. His transfer saga in the last window was dramatic, with the deal to sign for Liverpool falling at the last moment.

Though he was linked to Chelsea as well at the end of the window, Fekir decided to stay at Lyon. In January, Manchester United and Liverpool could tussle for this World Cup winner. While Liverpool would want him to cover Salah's bad form, The Red Devils would need such an attacking player to give them goals from the right wing, and pull them out of the mess they are in right now.

#2 Adrien Rabiot

Adrian Rabiot is in the final year of his contract with PSG. Unable to make him sign a new contract, PSG will probably be looking to sell the midfielder six months before he becomes a free agent.

With the abundance of talent at PSG, Rabiot has faced a lack of game time, and hence he has decided to move on. Though Barcelona was very interested in him, the signing of Arturo Vidal from Bayern Munich makes this deal highly unlikely now.

However, Adrian Rabiot would be welcome at England with a host of Premier League teams looking to sign a midfielder. Top on that list would be Manchester City, who are scouting for options to succeed Brazilian midfielder Fernandinho. Arsenal and Tottenham could also challenge the table toppers for this talented youngster.

#3 Alessio Romagnoli

United will look to make a move for the defender in January

Romagnoli, the 23 year old centre back from AC Milan has attracted a lot of big clubs in recent times. The Italian defender has been exceptional for AC Milan, and he might be interested in making a switch soon.

With clubs like Manchester United and Chelsea looking for a centre-half, Romagnoli has good chances of coming to England. The teams investing in him will be aware of his defensive and leadership qualities. At this point in time, Manchester United are leading the race for his signature.
