C. Gallagher

The energetic midfielder attracted widespread interest in the summer but remained at Atlético Madrid.

Kenan Yildiz

With his current deal running down, many English sides – such as Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, and Tottenham – are monitoring the situation. Juventus are desperate to secure the youngster to a lengthy contract but are in a race to retain one of the continent's most promising young talents.

Newcastle reportedly are frontrunners, but could face stiff rivalry from Real Madrid for a signing priced at around £22 million.
