There are just 30 hours to go until the annual winter transfer frenzy begins and speculation has intensified. 

Arsene Wenger has already confirmed Arsenal will be active in the New Year as the Premier League leaders bid to bolster their injury-hit squad for a title charge.

Guus Hiddink has money to spend as Chelsea look recover from a nightmare first half to the season and Tottenham are expected to look for a striker should they enter the market at this stage.

Meanwhile, Andros Townsend could be on his way out of White Hart Lane, while Watford attempt to ward off suitors in the Odion Ighalo tug-of-war. Crystal Palace are open to business with recent injury troubles hitting an impressive campaign and West Ham 'don't have a penny to spend on wages', according to David Sullivan.
