3 Premier League players who could make a switch to top sides in January

The Winter transfer window opens in few days and the top clubs are gearing up to compete with their rivals off the field to strengthen their squad for the rest of the season. While clubs like Manchester City are content with their squad, clubs such as Manchester United and Chelsea look forward to signing players in their vacant areas of the pitch.

Since securing a deal for star players in January is always tougher, managers tend to look out for players in the bottom half who have been brilliant in the first half of the season. The following three players have put on a consistent display throughout this season and are expected to make a move to the top clubs when the January window opens.

#3 Callum Wilson - Forward ( AFC Bournemouth )

England v United States - International Friendly

The English striker has caught the eyes of several top clubs in the country with his impressive performances which also earned him his first International cap, a month ago. Callum Wilson has scored 8 goals and has assisted 5 in his 17 appearances in the league, making him one of the hottest prospects in the upcoming transfer window.

One of the possible destinations for Wilson could be Chelsea, who are expected to sign a striker in the next month. Alvaro Morata and Olivier Giroud have struggled to regularly find the back of the net which has forced Maurizio Sarri to deploy Eden Hazard as a false-9.

Chelsea could save some money by trying to sign Callum Wilson instead of going behind other proven strikers in Europe and this signing could benefit both club and the player.

#2 Aaron Wan-Bissaka - Defender ( Crystal Palace )

Brighton & Hove Albion v Crystal Palace - Premier League

The Eagles' young fullback has turned his season around following a red card incident in the second game of the campaign. Wan-Bissaka is a gifted player who has got both pace and tackling ability which makes him ideal for the fullback role.

The English right-back leads the list of most number of successful tackles this season with a total of 66 tackles in 17 appearances and is also third in the list of most number of interceptions with 45 so far.

Arsenal could benefit from the inclusion of Wan-Bissaka in their lineup which may add some much needed defensive stability to their back-line. While Hector Bellerin is a proven right-back in the league, his defensive frailties have often been exposed. Wan-Bissaka's ability to contribute to attacks and track back quickly while defending makes him one of the potential choices for top clubs in January.

#1 Abdoulaye Doucouré - Midfielder ( Watford )

Watford FC v Manchester City - Premier League

The Hornets' midfielder has been one of the consistent performers for Watford in recent years. Doucoure is an engine in the midfield and has successfully played every single minute of Premier League this season. His versatility in the center of the pitch has been vital for Watford and the midfielder is already in the radar of several top clubs in Europe.

The Frenchman has scored two goals and has assisted 5 in the Premier League so far. He is one of the few players to complete 1000-plus passes and has largely been pivotal to connect the defense with forwards up front. His defensive accomplishments include 43 tackles and 139 recoveries in his 18 appearances.

Everton, PSG and Arsenal are said to be the clubs who are in the hunt to sign Doucore in the upcoming window. Everton have an upper hand in the business due to the fact that Marco Silva is an ex-manager of Doucore who could persuade him to sign for the Toffees.

However, if Arsenal and PSG decide to splash out millions, the Watford midfielder could top the transfer headlines and move to one of those elite clubs of Europe.
