The January transfer window is now open, and already clubs are moving to bring in fresh talent for the second half of the season. Crystal Palace, for example, wasted no time in splashing 35 million on former Tottenham Hotspur man Brennan Johnson, who has already played his first Premier League game for his new employers. But all sides do not need to be as eager as the Eagles in tying up their business. Here's how long clubs have left to get those big-money moves finalised.

Chelsea reportedly made a late attempt to sign Wolves forward Jorgen Strand Larsen before the transfer deadline, according to journalist Simon Phillips. The Blues were looking for an additional striker to strengthen their attacking options and reached out to Strand Larsen's representatives in a bid to bring the 25-year-old to Stamford Bridge on deadline day. However, the deal did not materialise, and it appears the club was unsuccessful in their efforts.

By Deadline Day, matters took an unexpected turn. Fulham shifted their stance and pushed to renegotiate terms, which forced Leeds to return with an improved offer. Determined not to miss out, Leeds complied, and both parties reached what appeared to be an agreement. According to Jacobs, both Leeds United and Wilson himself signed the necessary paperwork, leaving the Whites confident that they had landed their man.

Crystal Palace are looking to improve their defensive unit with the signing of the AC Milan defender, Strahinja Pavlovic. The Serbian International has been on the radar of the Premier League club for a while, and he's a long-term target for them. According to a report from Sky Sports, they are hoping to get the deal done with just two hours left in the transfer window.

The Italian club are negotiating over the fee for the 32-year-old who has a year remaining on her Gunners contract. Walti has been a key player for Arsenal during her seven-year stint in north London, making more than 100 appearances and winning three major trophies.

Toulouse centre-back Charlie Cresswell is among the targets West Ham are looking to sign before Monday's transfer deadline. The 23-year-old was an important part of the England Under-21 side that won the European Championship in the summer and was named in the Uefa Team of the Tournament. Cresswell's performances have attracted interest from clubs in Serie A and the Premier League, and West Ham are the latest to plot a move.
