Thomas Muller is a potential target for Manchester United and Chelsea heading into the January transfer window, as the Bayern Munich striker could make a move to the English Premier League. Reports have Chelsea pushing hard to sign Muller, while Louis van Gaal has also targeted the star.

According to a report in the Mirror, Chelsea and Manchester United are pushing in the bidding for Muller, who has previously turned down moves in the past. Muller could consider a move this time around with Pep Guardiola's future uncertain after this season. Muller comes in with a contract through 2019 and with Diego Costa falling out of favor a bit with Jose Mourinho, Chelsea could push hard for Muller.

The Bayern star is a popular target for teams and this time Manchester United and Chelsea feel they can make the deal. Muller previously has scored 141 goals in 325 games for Bayern and his style could fit in well both clubs. The Mirror reports that Chelsea could let Costa go over the summer if they make a move for Muller.

According to the Guardian, Jamie Vardy is a popular name coming up for teams, including Chelsea and Manchester United, but he is "intent on staying put" at Leicester for now. Vardy just set the Premier League record for goals scored in consecutive games and his name will continue to come up even with his comfort at Leicester.
