As the Premier League transfer window approaches its deadline on 1st September, clubs are racing against time to finalize their squads for the upcoming season. With over £2bn already spent this summer, the final days promise to be just as eventful. Here’s a breakdown of what each club needs—or wants—to do before the window shuts.

AFC Bournemouth

Bournemouth have been quietly rebuilding after losing key defensive players last season. Coach Andoni Iraola is still seeking reinforcements in both defence and attack. Adrien Truffert from Rennes and Bafode Diakite from Lille are smart additions, but the Cherries may look for another defender and competition for striker Evanilson.

Arsenal

Arsenal’s main business seemed done with the signings of Martin Zubimendi and Viktor Gyokeres, but Kai Havertz’s injury has prompted a move for Eberechi Eze from Crystal Palace. If the Eze deal goes through, Arsenal’s focus will likely shift to sales.

Aston Villa

Unai Emery has been constrained by financial regulations, but Villa still need reinforcements in attack. Nicolas Jackson from Chelsea is a potential target, and there’s talk of resurrecting a deal for Marco Asensio.

Brighton & Hove Albion

Brighton have already done significant business, but they remain open to late opportunities. The fitness of Danny Welbeck and Georginio Rutter will dictate whether they need to bolster their attack further.

Brentford

Yoane Wissa’s potential move to Newcastle complicates matters for Brentford. The Bees may need to find a replacement for Wissa and could also look to strengthen at full-back.

Burnley

Burnley have secured 13 permanent transfers this summer, but late offers for key defender Maxime Esteve could prompt further activity.

Chelsea

Chelsea’s focus remains on strengthening their forward line, with Alejandro Garnacho and Xavi Simons being key targets. Outgoings, including Raheem Sterling and Ben Chilwell, will also shape their deadline day moves.

Crystal Palace

Palace’s transfer activity hinges on the futures of Marc Guehi and Eberechi Eze. Liverpool are hopeful of luring Guehi, while Eze looks set for Arsenal. Palace may need to replace both players before the window closes.

Everton

David Moyes has expressed frustration at Everton’s lack of signings. The Toffees need a right-sided attacker and could also look to strengthen at right-back and in defensive midfield.

Fulham

Fulham have been quiet this summer, but manager Marco Silva is keen to strengthen in wide positions. Raheem Sterling could be a wildcard signing if Chelsea agree to let him go.

Leeds United

Leeds are expected to beef up their attack and full-back positions. James Justin from Leicester and Noah Okafor from AC Milan are potential targets.

Liverpool

Liverpool’s priority is to strengthen in central defence, with Marc Guehi from Crystal Palace the prime target. The saga surrounding Alexander Isak could also see Liverpool make another bid for the Newcastle striker.

Manchester City

City’s business is largely done, but a move for Gianluigi Donnarumma could still happen if Ederson departs.

Manchester United

United have spent heavily on their attack but need to address their goalkeeping situation. Gianluigi Donnarumma has been linked, but time is running out to complete such a deal.

Newcastle United

Newcastle’s focus remains on signing a striker, with Yoane Wissa and Nicolas Jackson being key targets. The future of Alexander Isak will also dominate their deadline day activity.

Nottingham Forest

Forest have spent £140m this summer but are still looking to strengthen in midfield and at full-back.

Sunderland

Sunderland have signed 11 players but are still keen to strengthen in wide attacking positions and central defence.

Tottenham Hotspur

Spurs are intent on strengthening their squad, with Yoane Wissa and Savinho being potential targets. They may also look to add in central defence.

West Ham United

West Ham’s priority is to add energy and creativity to their midfield. Mateus Fernandes and Marc Casado are potential targets.

Wolverhampton Wanderers

Wolves are looking to add an attacking midfielder and a striker to provide support for Jorgen Strand Larsen.

As the clock ticks down, expect a flurry of activity across the Premier League, with clubs scrambling to secure the final pieces of their puzzle for the season ahead.
