This month, Crystal Palace will prioritise holding onto their top players, just as they did during the summer transfer window. Attacker Eberechi Eze, who was coveted by Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur during the summer transfer window, may rekindle interest in defender Marc Guehi, who has been linked to moves to Chelsea and Newcastle.
After a sluggish start to the season, Oliver Glasner’s team is currently in 15th place in the Premier League table, five points above the bottom three, and has won their last four games across all competitions. However, there have been rumours that one of their defenders, who has played more than 240 games for the Eagles, may be traded this month.
Journalist Fabrizio Romano has revealed that the MLS has expressed interest in Jeff Schlupp, a former Premier League champion with Leicester City. Romano said on X that the 32-year-old, who has made 11 Premier League appearances for the Eagles this season, has apparently been shortlisted by San Diego FC.
According to him, Jeff Schlupp is a concrete alternative being discussed internally at San Diego FC, an MLS team. Schlupp has been a Premier League winner for more than ten years, and the United States is showing interest in him.
Schlupp has also been connected over a transfer to Championship club Millwall, who are trying to reinforce in an attempt to climb the ladder, presently 10 points out from the playoff places under new manager Alex Neil. QPR are also thought to be keen on him.
Whilst Palace are aiming to keep hold of their players, Fulham are anxious to add fresh faces during the January window in order to keep their ambitions of European football alive this season under Marco Silva. They presently reside tenth in the Premier League, seven points away from the Champions League positions. Their most recent game ended in a 3-2 loss to West Ham, which was Graham Potter’s first Hammers home game since taking Julen Lopetegui’s place.
Following his failures to secure consistent first-team playing time under Fabian Hurzeler, Brighton striker Evan Ferguson is allegedly available on loan this month and has been linked to a transfer to the Cottagers. In light of interest from West Ham, Arsenal, and Fulham, the Brighton manager has acknowledged that the Irishman may depart this month, according to the Standard.
We know that the Premier League is a very good league to improve because it’s tough, it’s intense, especially for young players, and it’s the perfect environment to adapt. That’s why I’m not thinking about making the other teams better, it’s more about what is best for the player.” Hurzeler stated: “We will negotiate what is important for him, what is important for his development, where he can improve the best, and then we will make the decision together.” It appears likely that Brighton will loan Ferguson out for the rest of the season, which could be advantageous not only for the loaning club but also for the Seagulls and the development of the 20-year-old.
