The January transfer market is notoriously difficult to master. Even the most well-respected recruitment teams struggle to traverse the minefield.
The winter market generally centres around desperation, clubs eager to remedy the issues that have arisen during the first half of the campaign. With teams loathed to lose their best and brightest midway through the season, valuations often skyrocket.
However, there is still plenty of value to be unearthed during the January window, with wantaway stars up for sale and players entering the final six months of their contracts.
