CLUB BY CLUB GUIDE
MAN CITY MAN UNITED
WHAT THEY NEED: A central defender to provide sufficient cover, with John Stones and captain Vincent Kompany currently sidelined.
WHO THEY WANT: Looking at Real Sociedad’s Inigo Martinez, with West Brom’s Jonny Evans another option.
NEWCASTLE
WHAT THEY NEED: Creative spark. A top quality, lineleading, goalscoring striker. A No.10. Power, pace, athleticism.
WHO THEY WANT: Chelsea winger Kenedy on loan. Islam Slimani from Leicester. Danny Ings from Liverpool. Luke Shaw on loan from Manchester United.
STOKE CITY
WHAT THEY NEED: A goalscorer and possibly a defender to stiffen their fragile backline.
WHO THEY WANT: Daniel Sturridge or Danny Ings from Liverpool. The Reds want £25m for Sturridge and Ings may therefore be a more realistic proposition.
TOTTENHAM
WHAT THEY NEED: More reinforcements in the final third. Christian Eriksen needs competition. Harry Kane needs support.
WHO THEY WANT: Hope to win battle for Ross Barkley. Crystal Palace’s Wilfried Zaha is on their wish list. Ryan Sessegnon of Fulham is a long-time target.
WEST BROM
WHAT THEY NEED: A prolific striker to boost their survival prospects. Boss Alan Pardew wants cover for Nacer Chadli with both he and James Morrison injured.
WHO THEY WANT: Pardew is an admirer of Danny Ings at Liverpool and is interested in Stoke right-back Glen Johnson.
WHAT THEY NEED: A goalscorer to ease the burden on Romelu Lukaku. Jose Mourinho also wants a left-back, central midfielder, wide player and a No.10.
WHO THEY WANT: Tottenham’s Danny
Rose and Arsenal’s Mesut Ozil. Linked with Bordeaux’s Malcom.
SOUTHAMPTON
WHAT THEY NEED: Need to improve attack and have centreback vacancy after Virgil van Dijk’s sale.
WHO THEY WANT:
Two from Theo Walcott (Arsenal), Daniel Sturridge (Liverpool) or Moussa Dembele (Celtic) would revive front line. Swansea’s Alfie Mawson could replace Van Dijk.
SWANSEA
WHAT THEY NEED: A striker to replace Fernando Llorente. A new centreback as they also face interest in Alfie Mawson.
WHO THEY WANT: They must wheel and deal in the market to raise funds. Barnsley right-back Andy
Yiadom, out of contract this summer, is a target.
WATFORD
WHAT THEY NEED: At least one centre-back and a striker who can score more than Troy Deeney and Andre Gray (just two goals each this season).
WHO THEY WANT: Frontrunners to sign Leicester’s Islam Slimani on loan, looking at Southampton left-back Matt Targett.
WEST HAM
WHAT THEY NEED: More legs in midfield. Badly. Also, more quality in defence.
WHO THEY WANT: Stoke midfielder Joe Allen, Sporting’s William Carvalho and Bournemouth’s Harry Arter. Also keen on defenders Alfie Mawson (Swansea) and Lamine Kone (Sunderland).
