The January transfer window is entering its final hours, with many clubs and players attempting to strike a deal before Tuesday’s 11 p.m. GMT / 6 p.m. ET deadline.
Some transfers have already been signed off and completed ahead of the deadline, with Newcastle announcing the £40 million signing of Everton forward Anthony Gordon on Sunday, but others including Arsenal‘s pursuit of Brighton midfielder Moises Caicedo are in the balance and face a race against the clock to be done.
Deadline day is generally when the well-run clubs sit back and watch from afar as gambles and mistakes are made by those teams who have left their planning and recruitment to the last minute. But there are still plenty of deals to be done before the window closes, so who will be at the centre of the action?

Deals that could be done
Christian Pulisic‘s knee injury has ruled out the prospect of the U.S. forward leaving Chelsea this month. Sources told ESPN in November that clubs had been made aware that the 24-year-old would be available for transfer this month, with Manchester United prepared to consider a loan move following mutual termination of Cristiano Ronaldo‘s contract. But with Pulisic expected to be sidelined for another month at least, he will stay at Chelsea until the summer.
Juventus forward Dusan Vlahovic will be staying in Turin, a source with knowledge of his situation told ESPN, despite the club’s financial problems and prospect of missing out on European qualification after being docked 15 points for transfer irregularities.
