As we head into the final week of the Premier League season, the attention of clubs across the country is focused on the summer transfer window. The “Big Six” are expected to spend cash on high-profile signings over the next few months, even as frantic spending elsewhere is also planned.
Mauricio Pochettino and Erik ten Hag have made it clear that Chelsea and Manchester United are making plans to spend heavily this summer in the hope of speeding up their rebuild, while Liverpool may also be busy in the moving window under new manager Arne Slot.
Arsenal reaped the rewards of their busy summer last year and Mikel Arteta will be hoping to reflect that good fortune in the next window, as will name rivals Manchester City, who will be hoping to inject more quality into their ageing ranks.

Don’t miss. . . Chelsea have warned they could take “five steps backwards” as Arsenal make a move
A resolution through Arsenal to sign former player Wojciech Szczesny to upgrade Aaron Ramsdale would be “too complicated”.
SportsLens claims that Brighton’s Jason Steele may be a more realistic option to upgrade Ramsdale, who is a target for Newcastle and Chelsea.
It is believed that the resolution to move Szczesny back to north London will materialise as things stand.
He is Juventus’ number one and could remain in Serie A, while Steele has been in and out of Roberto De Zerbi’s Brighton team.
There is a genuine interest in English and a deal is more feasible than for Szczesny.
Boot Room claims Newcastle’s resources have denied the idea that Anthony Gordon could sign for Liverpool this summer.
A report from the Daily Star suggests that the Reds could make a move for the winger once the season is over.
But reportedly the Magpies are not having it easy with £100m for England’s foreigner who has had the season of his career to date.
Gordon, 23, is originally from Liverpool and grew up supporting the Reds and then played for Everton.
He has 10 goals and 10 assists in 34 Premier League games this season, but he doesn’t seem to be going anywhere.
It’s a move that may have an effect on the summers of Manchester United and Chelsea; after all, it is possible that Thomas Tuchel will remain at Bayern Munich.
Tuchel had mutually agree to leave the German club at the end of the season but both parties may now perform a U-turn.
This is what reports from Germany reveal. The former Chelsea man had been proposed to take charge of United.
There has also been talk of him as a possible target if Chelsea get rid of Mauricio Pochettino next month, something that looks increasingly unlikely.

And it is possible that he will be on the move in a few weeks, as Premier League clubs will be interested in the striker.

Former Arsenal star Emmanuel Petit has suggested his former team sign Manchester United side Jadon Sancho, who was excluded this summer.
The English foreigner has inspired his loan spell at Borussia Dortmund in recent months and is unlikely to run out of suitors if the Red Devils permanently sever ties with the winger this summer.
Speaking to Grosvenor Sport, Petit believes Arsenal are in the race to sign Sancho and said: “I was saying how inspired I was with Jadon Sancho in the Champions League; He looks like a new player, very fit, tight and explosive.
“It’s like dynamite on the pitch, so explosive on the ball with Adeyemi on the left flank, so hard to catch. He’s back to his most productive level and Man United are a long way from them, so if Arsenal need him, why not?You can put the best player in the world at Man United right now and in two months it will look normal. “
