With this in mind, here are the top transfer targets for every Premier League club.
Arsenal, Lars Bender
The top clubs in England are slowly starting to give up on their chase for Sami Khedira due to rumours of a contract extension being offered to the World Cup winner.
As such the Gunners have now switched their interest to Bayer Leverkusen’s central midfielder Lars Bender. He is thought to be available for £19 million.
Aston Villa, Jonas Olsson
With captain Ron Vlaar looking likely to leave the club in either January or the summer, manager Paul Lambert is targeting the Swede as a replacement for the exit bound star.
Burnley, Jozy Altidore
With the Clarets only managing their first win the last week, reinforcements will be a necessity in January. Sunderland’s Jozy Altidore is rumoured to be one on the way to Turf Moor.
Chelsea, Seydou Doumbia
With both Diego Costa and Loic Remy prone to the odd injury and Didier Drogba not what he once was, Jose Mourinho could view the CSKA Moscow man as an extra body up front.
Crystal Palace, Gregor Balazic
With the Eagles in the relegation scrap again this year, they are looking to improve the spine of their side. Slovenian international Gregor Balazic is one player thought to interest the Londoners.
Everton, Joel Campbell
After breaking their transfer records in the summer, Everton haven’t linked to many players in the January transfer window. However, recently there have been rumours linking them to Arsenal’s Joel Campbell.
Hull City, Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu
The Udinese midfielder is being targeted by the Tigers. The African Cup of Nations could be a stumbling block though, with it likely Badu will be called up for it in January.
Leicester City, David Accam
The Helsingborg striker has been linked to number of English clubs, including the Foxes.
Liverpool, Andre Schurrle
With it looking like Borussia Dortmund ace Marco Reus is going to a bigger club, Schurrle could be the player the Reds go for instead.

The Atleti man has been linked to the Premier League for years now. With City possibly looking to throw money at their early season problems, he could be on his way to the Etihad Stadium.
Manchester United, Mats Hummels

Swansea City, Kyle Naughton
The defender is reportedly a target for the Swans. Spurs are ready to let him go after signing DeAndre Yedlin.
Tottenham Hotspur, Jay Rodriguez
The England international is yet to make an appearance this season, but his former manager Mauricio Pochettino is still interested.
West Bromwich Albion, Jack Hunt
Currently on loan at Nottingham Forest, the Palace defender has impressed enough to attract interest from West Brom.
