3 Technically Gifted Players Who Could Join PL In January: Featuring Manchester United And Chelsea Targets

The January transfer window is almost here and that can only mean a few last minute deals that teams will try to pull off to ensure their team can push on to achieve their targets for the year. More often than not winter transfer deals can go under the radar but here have been a few big transfers taking place at this time.

Andy Carroll, Fernando Torres, Luis Suarez and Juan Cuadrado are just some of the players who made a big-money move to the Premier League and it worked out well for some and not so well for the others.

January is always a risky period for most teams but if they get it right, they could shoot up the league table or end up winning a trophy and with the extra money coming in via the TV deals for the Premier League clubs, and here are three super flair players who could join and spice up the Premier league in the January window.

1. Alexandre Pato

The former AC Milan striker might have lost a bit of sheen due to a range of injuries but there have been rumours of him moving to the Premier League. The 26-year-old has been linked with a move to Liverpool but there are a few others who would love to get the Brazilian on board. Pato is excellent on the ball and has great dribbling and finishing ability, certainly a plus for any team that does sign him, the question is which club is willing to take the risk with his injury record?

2. Felipe Anderson

The 22-year-old attacking midfielder from Lazio has certainly caught a few eyeballs from Premier League clubs with Manchester United reportedly, leading the race for his signature and it could well be the winter when he does make his move away from the Serie A. A technically gifted player who is known for his attacking ability but also for his work rate on the pitch, Anderson could well be the answer that United have been looking for in their midfield.

3. Alex Teixeira

Chelsea need someone to bang the goals in and with Diego Costa losing his goal scoring ability and the rest of the strikers unable to hit the goal even if it was the size of Everest, the Blues could be looking to sign a striker on form. Alex Teixeira is the player who has been linked with a move to Stamford Bridge and the Brazilian 25-year-old striker has bagged 26 goals in 25 games for Shakhtar Donetsk and could well be looking to start his scoring for Chelsea from January.
