C. Gallagher

This energetic English midfielder attracted considerable interest in the summer but stayed at Atlético. Having limited starts in La Liga this term, he is eager to find more playing time ahead of the tournament. United have been strongly connected, and a return to Selhurst Park, a club he excelled on a temporary deal, is also a possibility, though wage constraints could be a stumbling block.

Kenan Yildiz

As his current deal running down, a host of English sides – such as Tottenham, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Liverpool – are keeping tabs on the developments. The Turin club are eager to tie down the 20-year-old to a lengthy contract but are in a race to keep one of Europe's most promising prospects.

This 19-year-old is widely tipped to make a big-money move in January. Newcastle United reportedly are leading the chase, but could face strong rivalry from Real Madrid for a signing priced at around twenty-two million pounds.
