Despite Premier League bosses always reminding fans how hard it is to make decent signings in the January transfer window, it doesn’t stop everyone from dreaming of a huge deal that sees a superstar heading to your team.

The summer transfer window was one to remember, with Premier League clubs spending over £2bn on additions to their squads.

The British transfer record was broken twice, first by Declan Rice’s move to Arsenal from West Ham and then Moises Caicedo leaving Brighton to join Chelsea.

There could be plenty of drama in January as teams look to bolster their squads for the second half of the season, whether that’s to push for the title or to stay in the top flight.

Ivan Toney is likely to grab plenty of headlines in the New Year, with the Brentford hitman potentially on the move as he returns from his lengthy ban.

Kalvin Phillips could also change teams as he searches for more game time away from Manchester City, while Arsenal’s Aaron Ramsdale may be looking to be a No. 1 elsewhere.

Check out everything you need to know about the 2024 January transfer window.
