Unsurprisingly, this transfer window has been dominated by talk about which players may or may not be joining Newcastle United.
Kieran Trippier and Chris Wood have already joined Eddie Howe’s side and more additions are expected for Newcastle as their aim for Premier League survival looks tougher as every week passes.
Additions across the pitch may be needed this month if Newcastle are to beat the drop and judging by this list, the bookies concur that Newcastle need strengthened in all areas.
From Premier League proven talent, to ‘superstars’ from across European football, a whole host of names have been linked with a move to Tyneside.
Here, we take a look at every player that SkyBet have made Newcastle United favourites to sign during the January transfer window:

9. Ousmane Dembele - 9/2
Injury problems have meant that Dembele’s time at Barcelona has not lived up to the high expectations set by the £126m paid for the Frenchman. Dembele’s contract at the Camp Nou expires in the summer and with no new deal seemingly imminent - Barcelona may want to cash-in on the winger before losing him on a free transfer. Photo: PAU BARRENA
10. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang - 7/2
It seems that Aubameyang has no future at the Emirates stadium, however, the striker’s wages at the Gunners, combined with recent medical updates, means that a deal for Aubameyang may be difficult to complete this month. Photo: Stuart MacFarlane
11. Nat Phillips - 7/2
Phillips is struggling for game time at Liverpool. Newcastle need a centre-back with Premier League experience. It’s a deal that makes sense on paper - will a deal transpire this month? Photo: Marco Luzzani
12. Divock Origi - 10/3
With Sadio Mane and Mo Salah away at the African Cup of Nations, many believed Origi may be given an opportunity to impress at Anfield. A host of clubs, including West Ham, AC Milan, Tootenham Hotspur and PSG have been linked with a move for the Belgian, however, Newcastle lead the way with the bookies. Photo: Marco Luzzani
