Andrew Neill: Do you expect any big moves in the January transfer window for Premier League teams?
Good question, Andrew. I think Manchester City will be active to refresh their squad with players absent, particularly Rodri, but again it is not easy to get the quality of player they require in January. Clubs are very reluctant to let their best go this month.
They have been linked with Ederson of Atalanta, but they will want big money for the midfield player and are still very much involved in the Champions League.
City have also been touted as a potential destination for Eintracht Frankfurt striker Omar Marmoush, who has scored 18 goals in 24 games.
Arsenal will surely be looking for a prolific striker, but again that is a pursuit that may have to wait until the summer.
