5 big transfer deals that could still happen this January transfer window (2022)

#3 Tanguy Ndombele to PSG from Tottenham Hotspur

Tottenham Hotspur v Morecambe: The Emirates FA Cup Third Round

Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Tanguy Ndombele is seemingly on the move. If the rumor mill is to be believed, the French midfielder is looking to leave Antonio Conte’s side and could end up moving back to France.

Former Spurs and current Paris Saint-Germain coach Mauricio Pochettino is reportedly looking to improve his midfield options and has inquired about Ndombele.

With summer signing Georginio Wijnaldum still struggling to find his feet in Ligue 1, the Parisians need a capable midfielder who can balance PSG’s top-heavy squad.

Pochettino, who originally brought the France international to Spurs from Lyon in 2019, believes Ndombele is exactly what his PSG team needs.

The Ligue 1 leaders, however, are not interested in buying the player right now and are only chasing a loan deal. Discussions are being held over the player’s salary at the moment.

#2 Alvaro Morata to Barcelona from Atletico Madrid via Juventus

Juventus v Genoa CFC - Serie A

Alvaro Morata is one of the biggest enigmas in modern-day football. The Spanish international has rarely been able to score goals for fun, but he always seems to be on the wishlist of top European clubs.

As of January 2022, FC Barcelona are the ones chasing the former Real Madrid man’s invaluable signature.

As per reports, Xavi’s men are trying hard to get a centre-forward in January and have set their sights on the Atletico Madrid loanee. Morata, who is currently on loan at Juventus, has been in mediocre form for the Bianconeri this season.

He has scored eight goals in 29 games across all competitions, which is hardly impressive for a player supposedly in his prime.

His sub-par form, however, has not discouraged Xavi’s side, who appear to be serious about signing him this month.

Juventus boss Massimiliano Allegri is believed to be blocking the move as he doesn’t want to lose another striker without signing a replacement first.

#1 Dusan Vlahovic to Arsenal from Fiorentina

Udinese Calcio v ACF Fiorentina - Serie A

Premier League giants Arsenal are still chasing Dusan Vlahovic, with the Gunners trying to finalize his transfer before the end of the month. The Fiorentina sharpshooter, who has 17 Serie A goals to his name this season, possesses the quality to solve Arsenal’s anxiety in front of goal.

Mikel Arteta’s side have endured a horrendous start to the year, failing to register even a single win in five matches across all competitions. More frustratingly, they could not find the back of the net in four of those five fixtures.

It is believed that Fiorentina don't have an issue with the transfer, but the player himself is waiting to make an informed decision. The likes of Juventus, Manchester United and Manchester City are all interested in the player, which is complicating the deal further for the Gunners.

If the move does not come through, the north London outfit could go after Real Madrid outcast Luka Jovic to improve their performance in front of goal.
