Liverpool's scouting network has assembled a six‑man winger shortlist that names AC Milan’s Christian Pulisic, 27, after the club missed Champions League qualification for a second straight year. The former Chelsea star has been active with the USMNT at the World Cup, drawing Anfield’s attention as they seek a replacement for Mohamed Salah.

Across the Premier League, Arsenal have sharpened their focus on PSG and France winger Bradley Barcola, 23, who offers a cheaper alternative to Aston Villa’s Morgan Rogers. The Gunners face a £130 million threshold if they wish to outbid PSG, who will only entertain offers above that figure, according to recent reports.

Meanwhile, PSG are zeroing in on 20‑year‑old Bournemouth striker Junior Kroupi, who topped the club’s shortlist after a dazzling Premier League debut. The move could replace Gonçalo Ramos, who joined AC Milan for a club‑record €74 million, and the loan‑plus‑obligation deal for Randal Kolo Muani that will see him join Juventus.

Other summer headlines include Tottenham’s record £85 million purchase of West Ham’s Mateus Fernandes, Everton’s £25 million signing of Middlesbrough’s Hayden Hackney, and Liverpool’s earlier acquisition of France U21 defender Jérémy Jacquet for £60 million. These moves underline the clubs’ intent to strengthen squads before the season’s opening match.
