Premier League clubs are ready to spend big in the January transfer window. The New Year festivities and busy fixture schedule means that winter spending has largely been swept under the carpet, but there's still more than three weeks for clubs to splash the cash. For every Andy Carroll to Liverpool and Fernando Torres to Chelsea, there's always the latest Luis Suarez to Liverpool and Nemanja Vidic to Manchester United to be had. And with so much to play for in the Premier League below the title race, you can guarantee that more clubs than not will loosen their pursestrings before February arrives. Bearing that in mind, the Mirror have decided to assess which player each of the 20 Premier League teams should direct their resources towards signing this month. With big names like Jadon Sancho and Kalidou Koulibaly making the list, there's plenty to get excited about and you can read our full breakdown of the picks down below: The Gunners need defensive reinforcements as soon as possible and they could do much worse than signing the impressive 21-year-old with whom they've been so regularly linked. With Wesley out for the rest of the season, Villa's priority should be a new striker and they could capitalise on Batshuayi's frustration with a lack of game-time at Stamford Bridge. Once the Liverpool man has returned from his cruciate knee ligament injury, you can bet that the Cherries will come calling for a reunion as they try to dodge a relegation battle. Graham Potter is reportedly interested in the 21-year-old, who scored 15 goals in the Russian Premier League last season, and he could serve as Glenn Murray's long-term successor. With McCarthy largely limited to appearances from the bench, a move back to the north-west seems logical and especially now that Burnley have parted company with Danny Drinkwater. Frank Lampard will be keen to shore up his defence in 2020 and Chelsea ought to make use of their buyback clause for Ake, who racked up 17 appearances for the Blues. Palace reaped the benefits of signing Batshuayi on loan at the back end of last season and securing Giroud in similar fashion would surely guarantee the Eagles a top-half finish. Rabiot has struggled for game-time at Juventus this season and reuniting with former coach Carlo Ancelotti could fill the hole vacated by the injured Andre Gomes in the Everton midfield. There's not much that needs improving at the King Power Stadium, but Jamie Vardy can't go on forever and Bowen looks the perfect candidate to become his understudy. It's unlikely that Liverpool will make a second signing this month, but Sancho and the Reds look like a match made in heaven amidst reports he's unhappy in Germany. It wouldn't be transfer speculation with Koulibaly, right? City would need to spend big to ever replace Vincent Kompany and the Napoli man would be Aymeric Laporte's ideal foil.
