Premier League clubs are plotting their transfer business with a little over a month to go until the January window. The likes of Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea are in need of reinforcements to bolster their respective squads.<\/p>\n
United have improved in recent weeks, winning comfortably against a fired-up Everton on Sunday. However, Erik ten Hag\u2019s squad still looks light in a number of areas, leading to some likely January deals.<\/p>\n
Despite heavy spending, Arsenal and Chelsea still have gaps that need filling. Newcastle, Aston Villa and Tottenham could also be busy in their attempts to elevate themselves to the next level.<\/p>\n

Man Utd are preparing a contract for when Antonio Silva\u2019s Benfica release clause comes into effect, Sky Germany reports.<\/p>\n
Silva can be snapped up for \u00a385m next summer and the Portuguese side are reportedly resigned to losing the 20-year-old.<\/p>\n
United are reportedly already preparing terms for when the clause comes into play in a bid to get ahead of the competition.<\/p>\n
It comes with Raphael Varane supposedly set to leave when the season comes to an end.<\/p>\n
Arsenal will reportedly launch a \u00a357m bid for Douglas Luiz in January, ESPN report.<\/p>\n
The Gunners had three separate offers for the midfielder rejected by Aston Villa in the summer of 2022.<\/p>\n
With Thomas Partey supposedly set to depart, Arsenal are considering their alternatives and could prepare another offer for the Brazilian.<\/p>\n
Luiz still has three years in his contract, handing Villa plenty of negotiating power.<\/p>\n
Victor Osimhen is reportedly interested in joining stricken Chelsea but the Blues face a major roadblock, it is claimed.<\/p>\n
Napoli star Osimhen is one of Europe\u2019s most wanted forwards, with Chelsea desperate for a new No 9.<\/p>\n
But Todd Boehly and co. may struggle to get the Nigerian out of Italy midway through the season.<\/p>\n
According to the Mirror, Napoli have slapped a \u00a3100m price tag on Osimhen, potentially pricing him out of a winter transfer.<\/p>\n
Given Chelsea\u2019s huge spending in recent years, Financial Fair Play could prevent a deal at that price.<\/p>\n
