3 important transfers that are likely to happen before the January transfer window closes

#2 Leandro Paredes (from Zenit St. Petersburg to PSG)

Paredes has been a consistent performer for Zenit in the recent past

Leandro Paredes has been on the radar of many European clubs since the time he has started performing consistently for Zenit and now, it looks like Paredes will finally move to a big European club. Throughout the window, there has been news that Paredes is the number one target for Chelsea, but in the past few days, PSG has stepped up its pursuit for the Argentine.

According to reports, Paredes will sign for PSG from Zenit for 40 million Euros. PSG have been struggling in the midfield area with the departure of Motta and the injury to Marco Verratti, and Paredes will provide them with some much-needed depth in the midfield.

PSG are also set to lose midfielder Rabiot on a free transfer in the summer and thus Paredes will come in as a direct replacement for the Frenchman.
