Rashford to Arsenal, Ferguson to Man Utd among potential last-gasp January loans for Big New Jamie Bynoe-Gittens on Liverpool’s radar

Rashford to Arsenal, Ferguson to Man Utd among potential last-gasp January loans for Big : Jamie Bynoe-Gittens on Liverpool’s radar!

Ben Chilwell to Liverpool

Given the remarkable start to Arne Slot’s tenure at Liverpool, it’s hardly surprising that it was tough to pick a suitable loan signing for the Premier League and Champions League leaders.

Though their position domestically and in Europe may suggest otherwise, not everything is rosy at Anfield. There is the small matter of three of their best players being out of contract in 2025 and a couple of key stars approaching (or already in) a decline pre-retirement.

Even if Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold (he’s the least likely to stick around, obviously), Liverpool still need to be busy in the summer to make up for their inactivity in this season’s transfer windows.

Most of Liverpool’s players have improved under Slot, but fallen Premier League great Andy Robertson has lost it; he is comfortably the weak link in this Liverpool team.

Liverpool have already found their long-term replacement for Alisson Becker and finding Robertson’s successor needs to be next on FSG’s to-do list with Bournemouth’s Milos Kerkez a prime candidate.

Chelsea have made a formal enquiry for the Borussia Dortmund youngster, but Liverpool have also been keeping a close eye on him this season with scouts monitoring his progress several times.

Could the 19-year-old winger be the next exciting addition to Anfield? Let’s see how this one unfolds! ✍️

18The Big Six could enter the loan market in the final days of the January window amid heightened desperation with Marcus Rashford to Arsenal among the potential deals…

Still, Premier League clubs could make a late swoop to save the day and Arsenal could do much worse than sign the Man Utd outcast.

Arsenal cannot allow their pursuit of a top-class striker to drag on beyond this summer and Gabriel Jesus’ injury could force Mikel Arteta to ‘bring forward’ his plans.

Rashford won’t be the answer to their No.9 problem, but he could add some much-needed firepower on the left flank with Gabriel Martinelli left in the shadows by Bukayo Saka, whose absence through injury has left the Gunners really short going forward.

Fikayo Tomori to Chelsea

Earlier in the season, we all got prematurely excited as Chelsea looked primed to mount an unexpected challenge for the Premier League title. Expectations have been tempered of late as Monday night’s much-needed 3-1 victory against Wolves ended their five-match winless Premier League run.

This result leaves the Blues two points above Manchester City and in the Champions League places. Should they maintain this position, Enzo Maresca’s debut season would be considered a success as his youthful side were never expected to fight for the title this season.

Jamie Carragher’s fear that they are still a couple of players short from winning the Premier League is proving true as they are crying out for an upgrade on goalkeeper Robert Sanchez and a new centre-back.

Dusan Vlahovic to Tottenham Hotspur

15th-placed Tottenham’s ongoing slump leaves Ange Postecoglou as the clear favourite to be the next Premier League manager sacked (he could go to Leeds United if things continue to go awry in north London).

At least there are mitigating factors for Postecoglou to hang his hat on, with Spurs ravaged by injuries more than most in the Premier League this season.Leece’s Patrick Dorgu appears to be Amorim’s man following Garnacho’s exit; the latter deal could also enable Man Utd to bring in a much-needed attacking option, albeit only on loan.

Earlier in the window, Man Utd were credited with interest in Randal Kolo Muani, though that ship sailed. Instead, they could make a move for long-term target Ferguson.

A mix of injuries and a slump in form has damaged Ferguson’s reputation, but the 20-year-old (or Liam Delap, perhaps) is still arguably the young Premier League striker with the highest ceiling. Taking a risk in this window could reap rewards further down the line for Man Utd as Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee are not doing enough to make the No.9 spot their own.
