Clubs – LEI to NE
Liverpool’s decision to snap up Cody Gakpo from PSV Eindhoven did surprise plenty of pundits. The Dutch international had been heavily linked with a switch to Manchester United but the Reds made a quick move to secure the services of the forward. Considering their main issues have been in midfield, it remains to be seen whether they have invested wisely.
Big spenders Manchester City and Newcastle have been very quiet so far in January, as have Manchester United, but the Red Devils have secured two loan signings in Burnley’s Wout Weghorst and Crystal Palace’s Jack Butland as manager Erik ten Hag looks to strengthen his squad for the second half of the season.
