It's that time of month again - the January Transfer Window has opened.

While high profile moves are far and few between during the winter window, several clubs will be hoping to strengthen in order to keep up the fight, or to help secure a place in their respective league.

Several players have already been linked away for a move in the Premier League, including the likes of Erik Lamela and Ricardo Rodriquez from Tottenham. The Argentine has been scouted by both Real Madrid and Barcelona, while Bayern have shown interest in Swiss left back, Rodriquez, who has just a year left on his current contract.

Southampton youngster Luke Shaw could also be another on the move this month after he has been subject to several bids from several high profile clubs, with Manchester United and Manchester City tracking the young, English Left back.

Elsewhere in Europe, PSG are hoping to get their season back on track after a poor start, with owners preparing to spend big to keep up with Lyon and AS Monaco.

Meanwhile, Bayern could see themselves have a struggle to hold onto star striker, Lukaku, who arrived at the Allians Arena just last year. Manchester City and Juventus are believed to be tracking the Belgian.

Very interesting update mate and possible transfers, keep it up!

Nice update mate!
Hopefully you can make some good signings who can help you beat Bayern

French International defender, Yonès Kaboul could on his way out according to French paper, L'equipe.

Tottenham head coach, Villas-Boas is said to be looking to stream line his squad in order to bring in some new arrivals, and the French center back is one of those that Villas-Boas would like to dispose of.

Kaboul, who is a fan favourite at White Hart Lane, has made just 8 appearances in all competitions so far this season. Michael Dawson, Steven Caulker, Vlad Chiricheș and Jan Vertonghen are all above the Kaboul in the pecking order.

The defender, who reportedly earns around £60,000 a week, is believed to be in talks with French side LOSC Lille over a possible move. However, reports in Scotland claim that Celtic are also monitoring the situation and could make an eleventh hour bid in order to bring the defender to Scotland.
