The 2024/25 season kicks off tomorrow when FA Cup winners Manchester United clash with Premier League champions Manchester City in the Community Shield at Wembley Stadium. Next Friday, the new Premier League campaign commences when Fulham visit Old Trafford to face United, and clubs will be keen to complete business before then.
The deadline is August 30, though, and plenty of activity is expected to be on the horizon in the coming weeks.
Liverpool are among the elite top-flight sides set to complete business as Arne Slot searches for a new defensive midfielder to support his possession-based style of play.
Meanwhile, Arsenal are looking for a midfielder of their own and Tottenham Hotspur are on the hunt for a striker.
Across London, it feels like Chelsea is attempting to recruit an entirely new squad on top of their almost 50-player current roster.
