The January transfer window shuts on Monday, and with it the last chance for clubs to bolster their squads for the second half of the season.
Here, the PA news agency takes a look at what business might be done on deadline day.
Muted Monday in store
Given the financial climate caused by the coronavirus pandemic and how the window has gone so far, it is quite conceivable we could be set for the quietest deadline day for some time. A number of managers at big clubs have said they will not be making any signings, with Ole Gunnar Solksjaer, Pep Guardiola, Mikel Arteta and Jose Mourinho all hinting they would be surprised at any late activity, barring some fringe players being allowed to leave. With Chelsea having spent north of £200million in the summer, Thomas Tuchel will not be welcoming any new faces to Stamford Bridge, meaning it could be a day short of highlights.
A case for the defence
Leicester are trying to bring in an attacking midfielder to ensure they keep hold of their place in the top four, which would then allow them to loan Hamza Choudhury to Newcastle. West Brom are keen on bringing Christian Benteke in from Crystal Palace to bolster their survival hopes, while Sheffield United want a defender. Danny Rose might finally leave Spurs amid reports of a move to Turkey, while Cenk Tosun could be on his way out of Goodison Park.
