TRANSFER GOSSIP COLUMN: Real Madrid have made room in their budget to sign Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe, while Arsenal are set to complete a permanent deal for David Raya

The January transfer window is set to open on just over a month's time, and clubs are already starting to get their plans in place to strengthen their squads.

Manchester United have been linked with bringing in a centre back, with Nice's Jean-Clair Todibo and Sporting Lisbon's Goncalo Ignacio both reportedly on their list of targets.

It could also be a busy month for Chelsea, who have been linked with Napoli winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, while defender Trevoh Chalobah could be shown the exit door.

It looks set to be a fascinating start to 2024, with teams aiming to put themselves in optimum position to finish the campaign strongly.
