Arsene Wenger noted recently that he expected the January window to be much busier than usual in the Premier League, as the coming TV windfall incentivizes clubs facing relegation battles to gamble on staying up. So while January is generally a time of many rumors and few moves, I think we could see more activity than usual among mid-to-lower table English clubs. Whether we will see any more activity in the higher end of the market is less clear to me. Most clubs with top players don't have the incentive to sell them in January and most players in contention for Euro 2016 have little incentive to move clubs mid-season.
A few moves so far:
Newcastle has been busy, spending 12m to bring in out-of-favor Jonjo Shelvey from Swansea and 5m on Bordeaux winger Henri Saivet. They are also reportedly interested in Lord Bendtner.
Bournemouth dropped 10m on striker Benik Afobe, 5m to bring Lewis Grabban back from Norwich, and have also loaned Juan Iturbe from Roma (reportedly with an option to buy).
One of these days Arsenal will finalize the move for Basel's Mohamed ElNeny, a CM/DM.
Liverpool loaned CB Steven Caulker from QPR/Southampton and bought midfielder Marco Grujic from Red Star then loaned him back.
