As the January window approaches it’s natural for fans to start wondering who might be coming into their favorite club during the upcoming Transfer window. Each fan has already started making their mental list of what their favorite team needs and who they might reasonably be able to sign. Some fans come up with lists more reasonable than others. Hopefully most fans do their scouting via actually watching matches as opposed to hours of FIFA 16.

The other side of the coin is a bit more grim. Many players are wondering if they can find a ticket out of their current situations in hopes of finding greener pastures. These players might be buried behind a more established star or perhaps they are starters for a team that’s under performing. Either situation will leave a player ringing his agent repeatedly in hopes of striking a deal elsewhere. Remember fans, agitating for a move isn’t disloyal if your club isn’t holding up their end of the bargain. For example, can you really blame star players for wanting to leave relegation threatened teams for more successful (and stable) situations?

Today, we’ll look at five Premier League stars who could benefit greatly from a change of scenery in the January transfer window.
