As the days tick by to the January window, Premier League teams are finalising their plans of what areas of the squad they need to strengthen.
Whether it’s spending extra to bring in the difference-maker in a push for the top four, or signing the striker who’s goals will power you to safety, it’s expected to be a busy month as top flight clubs prepare to attack the second half of the campaign following the World Cup.
