"Some housekeeping to begin with: Lucas Paquetá ( West Ham), Oscar Bobb ( Manchester City) and Oleksandr Zinchenko ( Arsenal) also need a move, but they're not included in this list as they all look well on their way to getting it. Paquetá is expected to return to Brazil with Flamengo, Bobb looks set to join Fulham, and Zinchenko is on his way to Ajax."
"Let's not beat around the bush, Sterling is the headline name on this list and the man most desperately in need of a change of scenario. He hasn't played since last May, back when he was on loan at Arsenal. That move was not made permanent, and Chelsea have not registered him to play for them since, leaving him training away from the first team."
There is just under a week left in the January transfer window, pressuring Premier League clubs and players to complete deals. The month has been quiet so far but the final days could produce significant activity as several players still seek moves. Reasons include ostracism, requested transfers, contractual complications and the need for minutes ahead of the 2026 World Cup. Lucas Paquetá is expected to return to Flamengo, Oscar Bobb looks set for Fulham and Oleksandr Zinchenko for Ajax. Raheem Sterling has not played since May, remains unregistered at Chelsea and faces reported weekly wages of £325,000, complicating any move. There is a clause in Elliott's loan deal at Aston Villa that would make his move permanent for around £35 million.
