The Premier League names who could be heading to Serie A in the January window

The January transfer window is in full swing across Europe, and although it's been a relatively quiet opening few weeks, with a few notable exceptions, deals are expected to heat up as we head to the end of the month. 

Two of the hottest markets will be the Premier League and Serie A, where we've already seen several moves take place between the leagues. 

Niclas Fullkrug has ended his frustrating time at West Ham by moving to Milan, Spurs have loaned Manor Saloman to Fiorentina for the remainder of the season and Donyell Marlen is about to make the switch from Aston Villa to Roma, but they might not be last to head to Italy. 

DAZN News looks at who else could swap England's top flight for an Italian adventure before the window closes. 

Jean-Philippe Mateta

Crystal Palace's season seems to be unravelling, with uncertainty rife around the club regarding the future of manager Oliver Glasnar and several members of the squad who were part of their historic FA Cup win last May. 

Chief among them is striker Jean Philippe Mateta, who's known to have been a long-term target for a string of big clubs in the Premier League, but now Juventus are reportedly interested in testing the Eagles' resolve on the striker. 

Club officials are said to be keen to bring the French international to Turin in the January window, but talk of a £35 million offer will be way below Palace's valuation for a forward who's netted nearly 50 goals for the club since 2022. 

If they aren't successful in bringing Mateta to the club, Juve could be back in the summer as they look for a long-term replacement for Dusan Vlahovic.

Enzo Chiesa 

He may be becoming a bit of a cult hero on Anfield, but it's fair to say Chiesa has never really found his feet at Liverpool and continues to be a bit-part player for the club. 

This year, the forward had to deal with being left out of the Reds' Champions League squad this year, but did start to endear himself to the fans domestically, with strong cameos and a first Premier League goal in September that saw him named the club's Player of the Month.

Since then, despite Liverpool's injuries in attack, we haven't seen too much of the Italian and has this month been linked with a return to his homeland and old club Juventus. 

Chiesa is said to be open to the idea, while Juve would be keen to add to an attack, which at times this season has lacked a cutting edge. 

Radu Dragusin 

Tottenham haven't seen much of their Romanian defender this season and it could mean a move to Serie A for a player who's looking for more minutes. 

Having suffered an ACL injury last term, the 23-year-old wasn't ready for first-team action until October, but has only managed one appearance all campaign. 

A reboot is probably required for the centre-back, away from North London and both Roma and Fiorentina have reportedly noted some interest in a short-term move. 

However, there will be some concerns over his fitness, given the injury he's had and the lack of game time since returning.

Joshua Zirkzee 

A move for Zirkzee looked nailed on before Christmas, but the change in manager at Old Trafford could change things for the forward. 

The Dutchman was reduced to limited opportunities under Ruben Amorim, leaving him desperate for a move away as he looks for first-team football in a World Cup year. 

With a changing of the guard at United, it might give the Dutchman a fresh start under Michael Carrick, but he's still not without his suitors back in Italy. 

Both Atalanta and Roma are said to be keeping a watchful eye on his situation and could still swoop this month.

Raheem Sterling 

The forgotten man at Stamford Bridge, who had been frozen out under Enzo Maresca and told he'd play no part in his first team plans. 

Of course, things have changed in West London and Liam Rosenior has been quick to include the former England man as he looks to put his stamp on the squad. 

Whether that means there's a way back for Sterling remains to be seen, but he does have admirers elsewhere, both in the Premier League and in the form of Serie A champions Napoli. 

Antonio Conte's men could benefit from an experienced and exciting attacker to give their frontline a boost and are said to be monitoring Sterling and a possible short-term move.

Joao Gomes 

Wolves fans haven't had much to shout about this season, but one of the few players to make a positive impression on Molineux has been Joao Gomes. 

The Brazilian has kept up his eye-catching displays from the last two campaigns and has been one of the club's better players, and it hasn't gone unnoticed. 

Both Milan and Napoli have an interest in the midfielder and could make their move in the next couple of weeks. 

With Rob Edwards' men already doomed to the Championship, Gomes would jump at the chance to swap a relegation scrap for a Serie A title chase.
