Seven stars who desperately need January transfer to save Euro 2024 dream including forgotten Man Utd flop & Arsenal ace
PLAYERS will have to consider their futures in January with some keen to keep their dreams of playing at Euro 2024 alive.
Most of the nations that will compete in Germany next summer have sealed their spaces while others must still go through a round of playoffs.
Many players will be on the lookout for a move in the upcoming transfer window in an attempt to boost their hopes of a call-up to their national teams.
This could be a concern for their clubs who may not want to lose certain players and the depth that they provide.
SunSports have identified seven players who need to try and get a transfer should they want to play at the Euros.
Aaron Ramsdale
The Arsenal goalkeeper has struggled for game time this season thanks to the arrival of David Raya.
Aaron Ramsdale was one of the club’s best performers last season and earned himself a spot in the England set-up.
It was expected that he would push Jordan Pickford for the starting role at the Three Lions, however, his place is now at risk in the team.
Gareth Southgate may look at stoppers who have played more regularly than Ramsdale which could see the places handed to the likes of Nick Pope, Sam Johnstone or Jason Steele.
Ramsdale has been linked with moves to Chelsea and Newcastle.

Kalvin Phillips
Kalvin Phillips is another England player who could lose their spot due to a lack of playing time at his club.
The midfielder has only played four times in the Premier League this season.
Phillips has been linked with a move away from the Etihad Stadium with the likes of Newcastle and Juventus reportedly interested.
Donny van de Beek
Donny van de Beek has been a fringe player at Manchester United pretty much since his arrival at the club in 2020.
The midfielder has since lost his spot in the national team, having not played for the Netherlands since 2021.
The 26-year-old has admitted that he will be on the lookout for a new club should his playing time under Erik ten Hag not increase.
Anthony Martial
Sticking at Old Trafford, Anthony Martial is another player who could make a move in order to save his international career.
Once hyped as the next Thierry Henry, Martial’s career has stuttered in recent times at Man United due to various reasons.
The forward should look to make a move in the January window if he hopes to be in the French team alongside the likes of Kylian Mbappe in Germany.
Jorginho
Jorginho could be at risk of losing his spot in the Italy national team as they look to try and retain their title.
The midfielder has become a back-up option at Arsenal following the arrival of Declan Rice in the summer.
Jorginho has been linked with a move away from the Emirates Stadium with the likes of Barcelona interested.
The Italian’s contract is up at the end of the season so Arsenal could look to cash in while they have a chance.
Noni Madueke
Noni Madueke arrived at Chelsea last January from PSV and a lot was expected from the exciting youngster.
However, under Mauricio Pochettino, the winger has barely featured in the Premier League having only made five appearances.
The Englishman has featured for the England U16, U17s, U18s and U21s so far in his career.
A move to a different club, on loan or permanent, that would guarantee him game time could see him become a late contender for a spot in the England squad.
Bryan Gil
Bryan Gil has never really had a chance to succeed at Tottenham since his £20million move from Sevilla.
The wide midfielder has only played 15 times in the Premier League since 2021, twice this season.
The once highly-rated Spaniard has played four times for the national side and a return to his homeland could boost his chances of a call-up for the Euros.
