With Manchester United already having made their first signing for January, other clubs are likely to follow suit with certain players, albeit for those that will play a part in the clubs future and not the immediate impact many will expect.

Newcastle United’s start to the season has them linked with numerous players although it can be claimed that manager Alan Pardew will play it cool as he did during the summer.
