Who could be on the move today?

It has been a quiet January transfer window on the whole so far - especially compared to the Chelsea-led spending of this time last year, but there could still be a few notable transfers going through today.

Once again, Chelsea may take centre stage, but this time for outgoings with the future of Armando Broja among the key issues to sort. Fulham are interested in the striker, but the sticking point appears to be his asking price - thought to be £50m, whether that is this month or as an obligation. to buy in the summer following a loan spell.

Conor Gallagher's name is also likely to come up, but the midfielder looks increasingly unlikely to leave Stamford Bridge - news which will no doubt delight most Chelsea fans.

Elsewhere, we are expecting Morgan Rogers to complete his move from Middlesbrough to Aston Villa, while another Championship to Premier League switch could be happening with Adam Wharton to Crystal Palace from Blackburn.
