What to look out for?

It promises to be a busy month at St James' Park as Newcastle's new owners look to make a splash in their first transfer window. Eddie Howe's relegation-threatened side are second bottom of the Premier League and have just picked up their first win of the season at the 15th time of asking. However, the new owners will be looking to avoid relegation at all costs so expect plenty of incomings at Newcastle next month.

Meanwhile, it was a big summer at Manchester United with Cristiano Ronaldo, Raphael Varane and Jadon Sancho all arriving at Old Trafford. However, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is no longer in charge, so will interim boss Ralf Rangnick look to make any changes to his squad?

What about Man City? They splashed £100m on Jack Grealish in the summer window but all the talk was about the potential arrival of a striker? Harry Kane's name was constantly mentioned in discussions about Peo Guardiola's side potentially signing a forward, while Cristiano Ronaldo was also linked with a move to the Etihad late in the window before his move to Man Utd. Will Guardiola make his striker move in this window?

It will be an interesting window because there are a number of high-profile players who will see their contract at their current clubs expire in the summer.

PSG forward Kylian Mbappe is in that position and Real Madrid saw huge bids for the France international rejected by PSG in the summer. Could Real make a move for Mbappe again or will they wait and try to sign him on a free next summer?

Paul Pogba's deal at Man Utd also expires next summer and Antonio Rudiger is in a similar position at Stamford Bridge. Will they leave their clubs in January or will Man Utd and Chelsea both lose valuable assets for free? Which of these transfers will you like to see happen? Please let us know in the Comment section.
