Premier League Transfer Gossip: Edinson Cavani, Tom Cleverley, Victor Valdes, Jermain Defoe, Fabio Borini & More EPL Transfer Rumours Ahead Of Winter Window

The 2014 summer transfer window may of slammed shut yesterday, however, the attention has already swiftly turned to the January 2015 winter window, where several deals have already been lined up to take place. Players like Edinson Cavani, Jermain Defoe and Fabio Borini could all be on the move shortly after Christmas, while Tom Cleverley and Victor Valdes are set to sneak a move to a new EPL club now, ahead of the winter window. Who will be in the market for new players this winter?

Cavani was a top target for many teams this summer, but a move never materialized, and it's believed he will be a top target for many elite English Premier League teams this winter window. Defoe was a top target this summer for many teams, as was Borini, but thanks to a stubborn club, and a greedy player, both of these players will conclude deals in the winter window, so it would seem.

However, just because the window has closed, doesn't mean some deals can't take place. Cleverley left Manchester United for Aston Villa today, with the EPL granting permission for the move to take place, because most of the deal was concluded before the transfer window slammed shut last night. Also, Liverpool are closing in on an October free agent swoop for former Barcelona goalkeeper Victor.

Which clubs will target these players, and are you happy with how the summer transfer window panned out? Deals will take place sooner or later, but the windows closure will make it all the harder.
