Premier League clubs have spoken hundreds of millions of pounds for new signing sessions, but there are still a few deals to be completed – including some large
The new Premier League season is only a few days away, but the transfer pleasure does not end a little longer. Deadline day only on 1 September, which means that today's teams have three weeks to complete their summer company.
Many of those big deals have already been done. Some were packed early, such as the move from Florian Wirtz to the Chelsea switch from Liverpool and Joao Pedro, but others lasted a little longer.
Viktor Gyokeres completed his move to Arsenal after the Gunners started their campaign for the season, although he had time to start two friendly competitions and score in one. The Manchester United Switch from Benjamin Sesko lasted a little longer, unveiled with the striker when United accepted Fiorentina on Saturday and gave a friendly doors the opportunity to make his debut for the club.
Liverpool were the biggest spenders under Premier League clubs this summer, with Fulham the quietest in the market. However, things can easily change in the coming weeks – especially if certain teams start the season slowly.
Some of the potential deals have been on the cards all summer, while others have emerged more recently. Here Mirror Football looks at what we can expect between now and the end of the month.
Alexander Isak (Newcastle to Liverpool)
The big what has been left this summer concerns the future of Isak. Liverpool has already rejected one bid, but the Newcastle striker still looks sharp on an Anfield movement.
The problem is that Newcastle is not desperate to sell. It has been a frustrating window for the side of Eddie Howe when it comes to landing goals – with different players who opt for movements elsewhere – and losing Isak would only add to the Nightmare Summer.
However, Liverpool has sold Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez and a hole in their attack. However, Newcastle would certainly like to sort a replacement first – more about that later.
Jack Grealisk (Manchester City to Everton)
If Isak joins Liverpool, he would probably become the most expensive signing in the history of Premier League. Jack Grealisk once kept that honor, and the English international could perhaps act as a warning story.
Yes, Grealiskh helped win the current club Manchester City de Treble in 2022-23, but since then things have gone south. He is very surplus of the requirements this summer and may leave if a suitable offer arrives.
Everton looks like a good fit and would give David Moyes a tent for the first season in Hill Dickins Stadium. Even a loan would not be cheap, and the toffees will have to decide whether their limited funds are used better elsewhere, but reports on Monday suggested that they decided that it is worth the gamble.
Marc Guehi (Crystal Palace to Liverpool)
Liverpool created opportunities in the Community Shield on Sunday, but occasionally wanted to go to the back. Despite the excitement of a potential deal for Isak, there are some who think that a new center-back is more important.
Marc Guehi has already been the subject of a few Reds offers, although so far they fail to appreciate Crystal Palace. However, Guehi only has one left on his contract, and a late offer could still get the job done.
“Of course, for players of that caliber to leave for a free, it is a problem for a football club,” said Palace chairman Steve Parish when he was asked about £ 50 million Guehi. “Unfortunately there is no doubt about it.”
Ebere Eze (Crystal Palace to Arsenal)
Guehi may not be the only one who leaves Selhurst Park this summer. He played on Sunday, just like Ebere Eze, but Eze remains a target for Arsenal.
The Gunners have already signed Noni Madueke and Viktor Gyokeres, among others. However, Eze would offer something else in the last third part and would enable the Gunners to cash in Heandro Trossard.
“Let's see what happens in terms of where the team is in the coming weeks, but we are actively watching options, there are also a few players who might also have to leave, so we will be open to see what is happening,” said Arsenal Mikel Arteta after a weekend -friendly victory over Athletic Club.
Savinho (Manchester City to Tottenham)
Tottenham Hotspur moved early to sign Mohammed Kudus van West Ham, but James Maddison's injury was able to reduce them in the market. Maddison will miss most of the season with an ACL injury that requires surgery, and Savinho is one of the players linked to a North -London switch after that news was broken.
The winger was impressed by flashes during his first season in Manchester City. The side of Pep Guardiola, however, added Rayan Cherki in the summer, and too Frenchman seems to get more chance of minutes this period.
City would be looking for profit on the £ 34 million they have paid to sign Savinho from Troyes last summer. It is said that it is also open to an exit, so this is worth keeping an eye on.
Jadon Sancho (Manchester United to Juventus)
Manchester United has sealed their Benjamin Sesko deal on Saturday and now the task is to load some Fringe players. Marcus Rashford has already completed a loan movement to Barcelona and Sancho is perhaps the next one.
Chelsea paid United to get out of a permanent step for the wing player, who blew hot and cold in recent years. Juventus is still linked, together with Serie A Rivals Inter Milan, a complex PSR situation that develops.
United wants to comply with profit and sustainability rules by sending Sancho and others away. However, Juve also has to balance the books and we may have to see outputs for Douglas Luiz and Dusan Vlahovic before there is a movement in the other direction.
Alejandro Garnacho (Manchester United to Chelsea)
Garnacho stays with United Exits and is another player who has potential lovers. Chelsea is supposed to have agreed the conditions with the Argentinian, but there is still work on the reimbursement.
United wanted £ 70 million for Garnacho in January, and that was considered too steep for Chelsea and Napoli. However, a move to Stamford Bridge this summer can still happen.
Ruben Amorim certainly does not seem to have any room for Garnacho, who had been omitted from the preseason games. The same applies to left back Tyrell Malacia, although there has been less interest in the former Feyenoord-Man.
Xavi Simons (RB Leipzig to Chelsea)
Chelsea has been reinforced in attacking areas, with Estevao Willian accompanied by Spitsen Liam Delap and Joao Pedro. However, the supporting cast can use some new blood, especially with Madueke.
It is for this reason that Garnacho may not be the only addition. Xavi Simons from RB Leipzig has been watched for a while and the failure of Leipzig to qualify for Europe can make a deal possible.
However, Chelsea likes to send a player the other way, and this is where the problems are. Christopher Nunku could eventually return to his former club, but it sounds like he should take a wage hit.
Harvey Elliott (Liverpool to RB Leipzig)
If Leipzig is behind a Simons successor, Elliott looks like a good fit. The star of England under 21 struggled in Liverpool last season, and the arrival of Wirt'Z will make the playing time even more difficult to come by.
Liverpool is looking for around £ 50 million for the former Fulham-Man, although a lower initial sum plus a back-back clause is another option. The Bundesliga can also fit well with him, especially if he gets the minutes that he is refused under Arne Slot.
A big season in Germany can even offer Elliott a chance from England if we are approaching the World Cup. Thomas Tuchel will already notice the Bundesliga, with captain Harry Kane in Bayern Munich, and a strong campaign would be difficult to ignore.
Kostas Tsimikas (Liverpool to Nottingham Forest)
Speaking of Liverpool players who may be on the move, Tsimikas is far away in the pecking order. Andy Robertson is still in Anfield and Milos Kerkez has become a member of the party and leaves Tsimikas behind as the strange man.
The Greek international has been interesting for forest for a while. With Alex Moreno back in Ouderclub Aston Villa after a loan on the city, a new left back seems like a clear priority to the side of Nuno.
This season, Forest is playing European League football after Rivals Crystal Palace had rely on their European relegation. We may see them one of the busier parties on the market now that a resolution has arrived.
Rasmus Hojlund (Manchester United to AC Milan)
It may be that Hojlund decides to stay and fight for minutes with Sesko at Old Trafford. However, if he concludes it, Milan could give a way out.
The Danish striker showed promising in his first Serie A in Atalanta, so Manchester United would break the bank to sign him. However, Milan would pay considerably less than £ 72 million.
Juventus Spits Vlahovic is another option for the Rossoneri. Hojlund, however, may be on lower wages and a hunger to make up for lost time.
Nicolas Jackson (Chelsea to Newcastle United)
Back to Newcastle, which you would imagine, will need at least one new striker if Isak leaves. They may need one, because they have allowed Callum Wilson – now at West Ham – to leave at the expiry of his contract.
Jackson missed the last two 'weekends' friends of Chelsea in the midst of interest. Delap and Joao Pedro have seen him relegate to the status of third-choice striker, but he could still be integrated.
The problem here is the steep asking price of Chelsea. It is unlikely that Newcastle is willing to pay somewhere near the £ 80 million that the blues wants for a player who scored 10 league goals in the past term.
Yoane Wissa (Brentford to Newcastle United)
If Newcastle only signs one striker, Wissa could be the one. The Congolese star comfortably defeated Jackson the last term, despite playing for a mid-table Finisher in Brentford, although he is a little older than the other target of the Magpies.
Early offers in the £ 25 million region were rejected by the bees, both in January of Nottingham Forest and more recently. It seems that £ 35 million can get the deal.
Wissa is back in Brentford training and could still act against Forest in League Opener. It might be a different story in September.
