Man Utd Transfers: 5 Creative Midfielders Red Devils Should Target In January

4. Koke

Koke might be seen as a more realistic signing and the Mirror are reporting that Moyes is planning a £30m raid this January. The Spaniard is just 21 years old and has also recently been involved with the Spanish team as he has now won seven caps for his country. Atletico Madrid certainly aren€™t a small club and currently sit second in La Liga level on points with Barcelona; they also play their football in a stadium that holds just shy of 55,000 people. Now Koke is a product of their youth system, so may well be particular keen to keep hold of this home grown player. However, they will know that it€™s hard to say no to Man Utd because of their reputation, especially when they are offering a very good price. This season the player has an average rating of 7.51 as well as contributing three goals and eight assists. When you also take his age into account, this would certainly be the type of signing that fans will be hoping for. If he is able to adapt to the Premier League then he could be an ever present member of the midfield for years to come. Of course, we all know that January isn€™t the best time to do business €“ but United don€™t have much choice in the matter due to the position they find themselves in the league this season.
