The January window slams shut at 11pm on Monday night - bringing an end to the final opportunity for teams to improve their squad this season.
It's a cliche to use the 'slams shut' term but some clubs will be hectic in their pursuit of additions before the deadline comes. Failing to bring in players will have significant impacts.
That could be featuring in the Champions League next season or simply survival. The Premier League finds itself with an almost mini four-team relegation league at the bottom - recruits are crucial here.
Using odds from Sky Bet, we look at some of the moves that have been backed to happen this month.
Bruno Guimarães to Newcastle
- Sky Bet odds: CLOSED
Multiple reports claimed that Newcastle had agreed a deal to sign Lyon midfielder Bruno Guimarães - although a statement from the club then countered what very reputable media outlets were saying.
The Ligue 1 club wrote on their official website: "Olympique Lyonnais categorically denies the false information disseminated by many media reporting an agreement between Newcastle and OL for the transfer of Brazilian international midfielder Bruno Guimaraes."
Despite this, the market believes that he will be a Newcastle player for the remainder of the season. They are desperate for recruits and have the resources to make a move happen - even with supposed interest from the big-six.
So much so that Sky Bet no longer offer odds on his next club due to the belief that he is on his way to the Premier League club.
Adama Traore to Barcelona
- Sky Bet odds: CLOSED
Adama Traore has seemingly been in the headlines across the past few transfer windows but he is an incredibly short price to join Barcelona this month.
Remarkably, this is one that has changed quickly on Thursday morning. When this article was published, Tottenham were clear favourites in the market but odds are no longer on offer because of how advanced the move is believed to be.
Traore has scored just once this season in 20 Premier League appearances - ten of which were starts - from his 23 shots and 3.21 xG. He has failed to record an assist despite 2.06 xA.
Reports claimed that Spurs boss Antonio Conte sees the winger as an ideal right wing-back - in similar fashion to what he did with Victor Moses at Chelsea - for his Spurs side and wants recruits this month.
Luis Díaz to Liverpool
- Sky Bet odds: CLOSED
Tottenham were believed to hold interest in Porto winger Luis Díaz but it looks like Liverpool will be his next club.
Various reports have claimed that the two clubs will agree a fee of around €60 million including add-ons for Díaz - ending the Reds' quiet month with a surprising big addition.
Díaz had scored 14 goals and assisted a further five in 18 league games this season.
Tanguy Ndombele to PSG
- Sky Bet odds: 14/1
Tanguy Ndombele's Tottenham future remains unclear and reports claim that he wants a reunion with Mauricio Pochettino who is in charge of the Ligue 1 giants.
The midfielder has featured in just nine Premier League games this season - scoring once and assisting another - although the large majority of his minutes came under previous boss Nuno Espirito Santo.
PSG are the clear favourites for his signature after a significant shift in his odds from 10/11 on Thursday afternoon.
It seems fairly clear that Ndombele isn't a huge part of Antonio Conte's plans at the North London club.
Donny van de Beek to Crystal Palace
- Sky Bet odds: CLOSED
Donny van de Beek's time at Manchester United has been bleak. The midfielder has struggled for game time since moving to Old Trafford from Ajax and the belief is that he will depart on a temporary basis before the deadline.
Crystal Palace - enjoying an improved season under Patrick Vieira's guidance - are seen as the odds-on favourites for his signature. They already have a talented loanee midfielder in Conor Gallagher from Chelsea.
Palace were previously 1/2 favourites but reports emerged claiming Everton are also pushing for a deal - they are currently 11/8 second-favourites.
The midfielder has managed 50 appearances across all competitions for United - scoring twice and assisting a further two.
Diego Carlos to Newcastle
- Sky Bet odds: 5/4
Diego Carlos has been linked with a move to Newcastle throughout the transfer window but it remains unclear if one will actually happen. Despite this, he is still odds-on for a transfer.
Reports claimed last week that Sevilla have decided that they don't want to sell their centre-back - dealing a blow to Newcastle and their hopes of bolstering the defence this month.
Carlos brings an aerial presence to the La Liga side - scoring two goals from 18 shots and 2.37 xG. It feels like a matter of time before he finds himself on the move elsewhere.
Tottenham - also in the hunt for January signings - are 5/2 second-favourites with West Ham priced at 12/1.
Arthur Melo to Arsenal
- Sky Bet odds: 7/4
Juventus' Arthur Melo has been linked with a move to Arsenal in January but a move is growing increasingly unlikely for a number of reasons.
The Gunners are keen on bringing a midfielder to the club during this transfer window and they are running out of time to source a deal. Juve being unable to source a replacement is a key factor.
Reports claim that Arsenal have two alternative targets - meaning that we are likely to see the odds on this move continue to drift ahead of the deadline.
Jesse Lingard to Newcastle
- Sky Bet odds: 7/4
Will Jesse Lingard leave Manchester United this month? His contract expires in the summer - it's unlikely he'll sign a new one - and unsurprisingly Newcastle have been linked with a move this month.
They were expected to bring him in on-loan but differences on value and how the deal is structured means the odds have drifted over the past week. Newcastle are now 7/4 outsiders.
West Ham - the club where he spent the second-half of last season - are second-favourites at 7/1 and if it isn't Newcastle, you wonder where it will be if he does depart.
There is a real possibility that Lingard remains at Old Trafford for the remainder of his contract though - limited minutes can be expected.
