Jørgen Strand Larsen
January 2026
Palace confirmed the signing of Strand Larsen from Wolves in a club-record deal worth about £50m, with a four-and-a-half-year contract and the No. 22 shirt. Palace moved late to complete the transfer; Parish framed the striker as a long-term asset, while Strand Larsen said he is joining to bring energy and goals after a tougher second season at a struggling Wolves.
Tylel Tati
January 2026
Chelsea made a late move for 18-year-old Nantes defender Tati with a reported €30m verbal offer, planning to loan him to Strasbourg, after losing Jacquet to Liverpool. Chelsea accelerated talks once Jacquet’s move to Liverpool progressed; the offer reportedly includes add-ons like a sell-on clause, but time pressure and the player’s decision process are key obstacles.
Zak Vyner
January 2026
Wrexham completed Vyner’s signing for an undisclosed fee as their first January addition, targeting leadership and experience for the promotion push. Vyner was omitted from Bristol City’s squad before the move, then signed a deal with an extension option; he cited Wrexham’s project and recent promotion run as key factors.
Liam Rosenior
January 2026
Chelsea are exploring recalling Strasbourg loanee Sarr to strengthen centre-back depth after injuries and a difficult pursuit of Jacquet. With Adarabioyo and Colwill injured and current options led by Trevoh Chalobah and Wesley Fofana, Chelsea have already recalled Anselmino from Borussia Dortmund and are now in talks to terminate Sarr’s loan early, with Rosenior calling squad strengthening a priority but warning business could be busy or quiet.
Oscar Bobb
January 2026
Fulham signed Oscar Bobb from Manchester City for £27m, handing him a long-term contract through 2031. Bobb was persuaded by talks with Sander Berge and Fulham’s manager, plus the promise of a clear system fit; he takes the number 14 shirt and leaves City as a league winner.
Crystal Palace
January 2026
Palace’s planned £50m move for Strand Larsen is reportedly close to collapsing, despite an agreed framework, with Palace signalling they could pull out. Wolves are not under pressure to sell and cite the striker’s attitude and focus; Strand Larsen’s output has dropped this season amid Wolves being bottom, which is part of the risk profile for Palace’s spend.
Lucas Paqueta
January 2026
Paqueta said he needed Flamengo after sealing a £36m move back to Brazil, ending a long-running saga and fulfilling his aim to return ahead of the World Cup year. He described repeated contact from Flamengo, said the club supported him during the period of accusations and investigation, and explained he did not want to force an exit while West Ham were backing him and respecting his family.
Jorgen Strand
January 2026
Palace are close to a verbal agreement to sign Strand Larsen in a package worth £45m plus up to £5m add-ons, moving ahead of Leeds and potentially clearing the way for Jean-Philippe Mateta to leave before deadline day. Leeds had multiple bids rejected up to £40m and will not go higher; Palace’s stronger offer and progress on fee and personal terms has put them in pole position.
Raheem Sterling
January 2026
Chelsea confirmed Sterling has left the club by mutual agreement and will look for a new club in January after not featuring this season. He fell out of favour, was placed in the “bomb squad” under Maresca, then loaned to Arsenal in 2024-25 with little impact and returned in summer before an exit was agreed; Rosenior avoided detailing his situation publicly.
