Arsenal are looking to address areas in midfield and goalkeeping, while Aston Villa target an attacking midfielder and a versatile defender.
Arsenal Arsenal have several areas of the team in mind to strengthen in the longer term, especially given the contract situations around two midfielders in particular, and so January will be a reactive window. They are looking for a new young goalkeeper, especially after the permanent departure of Aaron Ramsdale in the summer, and a young midfielder given both Thomas Partey and Jorginho will be out of contract in six months - but both can wait until the summer.
Leicester are also looking at players coming into the last six months of their contracts and - at right-back - one player they like in particular is Kyle Walker-Peters at Southampton, who is in that situation. Jamie Vardy is the most prominent player whose contracts expires on June 30, so can speak to foreign clubs from January 1. Daniel Iversen and Danny Ward are also in the same situation.
