TRANSFER GOSSIP: Tottenham unlikely to sign Nice defender Todibo in January
Christmas is just three days away and football clubs are looking at how they can treat themselves in the upcoming January transfer window.
As injuries build up and a packed fixture list begins to take its toll, a number of Premier League sides are assessing whether their ranks have the necessary depth to challenge in the second half of the season.
