Arsenal are still busy after bringing in Christos Tzolis for £34m and free‑transfer Illan Meslier. The champions are targeting elite signings for the left‑wing and central‑midfield with Vinicius Junior and Bruno Guimaraes, exploring the cost of deals for Brazilian stars and PSG’s Bradley Barcola. Arsenal also monitor the future of Gabriel Jesus, valued at £18m‑20m, and the club‑held option on Gabriel Martinelli as they look to add depth.

Aston Villa may need to sell a major name or two to stay compliant with UEFA financial rules after selling Youri Tielemans and Morgan Rogers for a combined £152m. New arrivals Johan Manzambi, Joao Gomes and Alejandro Garnacho bolster Unai Emery’s squad, but the futures of Leon Bailey and Emiliano Martinez remain uncertain as Villa seek new signings for the Champions League run.

Bournemouth are working to secure Antonio Silva from Benfica and are exploring options for right‑back and midfield positions after Marcos Senesi departed. Brentford’s focus has been on a new central midfielder, and they have signed Mamadou Sangare for up to £41m, while keeping Kevin Schade.

Brighton are in the market for up‑front, midfield and wing reinforcements, covering for Kaoru Mitoma and replacing Danny Welbeck, while keeping Carlos Baleba and adding depth ahead of their European campaign.
