Premier League clubs are already making waves in the summer transfer market. From Arsenal's attacking wishlist to Liverpool's managerial changes, here's what you need to know.
The summer transfer window may not officially be open, but Premier League clubs are already making significant moves. Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham, Manchester United, and Liverpool are among the teams actively pursuing new signings and managerial changes. The race for top talent is heating up, with several high-profile players and managers linked to moves.
As clubs prepare for the new season, the transfer market is buzzing with activity. From young talents to experienced stars, the Premier League’s biggest names are setting their sights on reinforcements. Let’s dive into the latest transfer news and rumours shaping the summer window.
Top Clubs Make Early Moves
Arsenal is focusing on strengthening their attack, with Morgan Rogers and Eli Junior Kroupi on their wishlist. Julian Alvarez tops their list, and manager Mikel Arteta is also looking for a new right-back and central midfielder.
Meanwhile, Manchester United has made their first move to sign Rafael Leao from AC Milan.
Chelsea, under incoming manager Xabi Alonso, is set to have more control over new signings. However, their first business might involve the exits of Enzo Fernandez, Marc Cucurella, and Alejandro Garnacho, who are attracting interest from other clubs. Crystal Palace’s Adam Wharton and West Ham captain Jarrod Bowen are also of interest to the Blues.
Tottenham and Liverpool’s Transfer Strategies
Tottenham is finalizing the free signings of Marcos Senesi and Andy Robertson, and has reignited interest in Savinho and Morgan Gibbs-White. They are also discussing a permanent deal for Joao Palhinha. On the other hand, Liverpool is set to appoint Andoni Iraola as their new manager while working on signing Yan Diomande, who has verbally agreed to leave Paris Saint-Germain.
Managerial Changes and New Signings
Celtic has held talks with Robbie Keane about taking over as their new manager. The Hoops won the Scottish Premiership dramatically on the final day of the campaign last month and are now searching for a permanent manager. Keane, available after leaving Ferencvaros, has been heavily linked with the position.
Paris Saint-Germain has intensified their efforts to land Yan Diomande, according to Foot Mercato. The Champions League winners are looking for another wide man, especially with Bradley Barcola’s future uncertain. Liverpool has made Diomande their top target this summer as they look to add to their front line with Mohamed Salah leaving Merseyside.
Real Madrid and Newcastle’s Pursuits
Jose Mourinho wants to sign Riccardo Calafiori from Arsenal this summer as he prepares to take over at Real Madrid once more. Meanwhile, Newcastle United has submitted a €24million bid to AIK for winger Zadok Yohanna, according to reports in Sweden. The Magpies are in the market for a wide man after the sale of Anthony Gordon to Barcelona was confirmed last week.
Young Talents and Future Stars
Manchester City is in discussions with Chelsea over a compensation package for Enzo Maresca, according to Sky Sports. City wants the Italian to take over from Pep Guardiola, who is leaving the club after 10 years in charge. Maresca left Chelsea in January with three and a half years left on his contract, which means City are likely to have to pay some kind of compensation.
Xavi Simons has dropped a major hint over a reunion with Savinho at Tottenham. Spurs appear to have already made a start on addressing issues in the squad as reports claim they are closing in on the signings of defenders Andy Robertson from Liverpool and Marcos Senesi from Bournemouth. Savinho is being touted as the attacking option, potentially replacing Richarlison.
Bayern Munich is nearing an agreement with PSV for Ismael Saibari. According to reports, Saibari is due to undergo a medical in the USA before putting pen-to-paper on a five-year deal. Meanwhile, Josh Abe has signed a pre-contract agreement with Liverpool to begin next year. Abe and his family rebuffed interest from other clubs in the Premier League to sign scholarship terms with the Reds.
Ibrahima Konate is set to join Real Madrid on a free transfer after leaving Liverpool. Reports in Spain claim there was talk of a contract extension for the Frenchman with the Reds, but an agreement could not be reached. Konate joined Liverpool in the summer of 2026 from RB Leipzig and has gone on to make 183 appearances for the club, winning the Premier League, the FA Cup, and two Carabao Cups during a five-year period.
Jeremy Monga may only be 16, but he is already making waves in English football. Monga broke into the Leicester City first-team picture during the 2026-25 season, making his debut as a 15-year-old in a 3-0 defeat to Newcastle at the King Power Stadium. That 17-minute cameo made Monga, at the time, the second youngest player to play in the Premier League, behind Arsenal’s Ethan Nwaneri, and it could be that the pair become team-mates in the very near future.
