The summer transfer market is slowly recovering, and big clubs are preparing significant moves for some top players. Among them is Arsenal, who are connected with Joshua Zirkzee as a key option, as well as Benjamin Sesko and Marcus Rashford. Bruno Guimaraes is their main target in midfield, but Amadou Onana could be back on his wish list with Everton in a position to sell.
At Chelsea, the appointment of a new manager, Enzo Maresca, is their most sensible priority, but the transfer window has eluded them. Alphonso Davies’ Real Madrid resolve would be hijacked by the Blues, who, along with Manchester United, are paying specific attention to Michael Olise.
United have several spaces to concentrate on and have now lost Juventus defender Gleison Bremer, but continue to target Jarrad Branthwaite and are also considering Trevoh Chalobah from Chelsea. Another interesting property, Kylian Mbappe, has discussed his long-term term while Tottenham and Liverpool are looking for a new striker. Ollie Watkins and Ivan Toney are among the names linked.
