Premier League clubs may be primarily occupied with a relentless December fixture schedule but behind the scenes, work is already underway ahead of the January transfer window.

Value: £25million
Interest: Plenty, including West Ham, but figures are high and Liverpool will need to agree to let him go as they also have interest in Dominic Solanke and Danny Ings.
