13 Premier League deals being worked on with transfer window closing in three weeks
Daily mirror | August 12, 2025 3:39 AM CST

The new Premier League season is just a few days away but the transfer fun doesn't end for a little longer. Deadline day isn't until September 1, meaning teams have three weeks from today to complete their summer business.

Plenty of those big deals have already been done. Some were wrapped up early, such as Florian Wirtz's move to Liverpool and Joao Pedro's Chelsea switch, but others have taken a little longer.

Viktor Gyokeres completed his move to Arsenal after the Gunners began their pre-season campaign, though he has had time to start two friendlies and score in one. Benjamin Sesko's Manchester United switch took a little longer, with the striker unveiled as United took on Fiorentina on Saturday, and a behind-closed-doors friendly could give him the opportunity to make his debut for the club.

Liverpool have been te biggest spenders among Premier League clubs this summer, with Fulham the quietest in the market. Things could easily change in the coming weeks, though - especially if certain teams start the season slowly.

Some of the potential deals have been on the cards all summer long, while others have emerged more recently. Here, Mirror Football takes a look at what we can expect between now and the end of the month.

Alexander Isak (Newcastle to Liverpool)

The big what-if remaining this summer concerns Isak's future. Liverpool have already seen one bid rejected, but the Newcastle striker still appears keen on an Anfield move.

The issue is that Newcastle are desperate not to sell. It's been a frustrating window for Eddie Howe's side when it comes to landing targets - with several players opting for moves elsewhere - and losing Isak would only add to the nightmare summer.

Liverpool have sold Luis DIaz and Darwin Nunez, though, and have a hole in their attack. Newcastle would surely want a replacement sorted first, though - more on that later.

Jack Grealish (Manchester City to Everton)

If Isak does join Liverpool, he would likely become the most expensive signing in Premier League history. Jack Grealish once held that honour, and the England international might well act as a cautionary tale.

Yes, Grealish helped current club Manchester City win the treble in 2022-23, but things have gone south since. He is very much surplus to requirements this summer, and will be allowed to leave if a suitable offer arrives.

Everton looks like a good fit, and would give David Moyes a marquee signing for the first season at Hill Dickinson Stadium. Even a loan wouldn't be cheap, though, and the Toffees will need to decide wether their limited funds are better used elsewhere, but reports on Monday suggested they decided it is worth the gamble.

Marc Guehi (Crystal Palace to Liverpool)

Liverpool created chances in the Community Shield on Sunday, but were left wanting at the back at times. Despite the excitement of a potential deal for Isak, there will be some who feel a new centre-back is more important.

Marc Guehi has already been the subject of a couple of Reds bids, though they've fallen short of Crystal Palace's valuation so far. Guehi only has one yet left on his contract, though, and a late offer could yet get the job done.

"Of course, for players of that calibre to leave on a free, it is a problem for a football club," Palace chairman Steve Parish said when asked about £50m-rated Guehi. "There is no doubt about it unfortunately."

Ebere Eze (Crystal Palace to Arsenal)

Guehi might not be the only one leaving Selhurst Park this summer. He played on Sunday, as did Ebere Eze, but Eze remains a target for Arsenal.

The Gunners have already signed Noni Madueke and Viktor Gyokeres, among others. Eze would offer something different in the final third, though, and would allow the Gunners to cash in on Leandro Trossard.

"Let's see what happens in terms of where the squad is in the next few weeks, but we are actively looking at options, as well there are a few players maybe that they have to leave as well so we'll be open to see what happens," Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta said after a weekend friendly win over Athletic Club.

Savinho (Manchester City to Tottenham)

Tottenham Hotspur moved early to sign Mohammed Kudus from West Ham, but James Maddison's injury could force them back into the market. Maddison will miss the majority of the season with an ACL injury which requires surgery, and Savinho is one of the players linked with a North London switch after that news broke.

The winger impressed in flashes during his first Manchester City season. Pep Guardiola's side added Rayan Cherki over the summer, though, and te Frenchman appears more likely to get minutes this term.

City would be looking to make a profit on the £34m they paid to sign Savinho from Troyes last summer. He is said to be open to an exit, too, so this is worth keeping an eye on.

Jadon Sancho (Manchester United to Juventus)

Manchester United sealed their Benjamin Sesko deal on Saturday, and now the task is offloading some fringe players. Marcus Rashford has already completeed a loan move to Barcelona, and Sancho might be next.

Chelsea paid United to get out of a permanent move for the winger, who blew hot and cold on loan last term. Juventus continue to be linked, along with Serie A rivals Inter Milan, with a complex PSR situation developing.

United are keen to comply with profit and sustainability rules by sending Sancho and others away. Juve also need to balance the books, though, and we may need to see exits for the likes of Douglas Luiz and Dusan Vlahovic before there's any movement in the other direction.

Alejandro Garnacho (Manchester United to Chelsea)

Staying with United exits, Garnacho is another player who has potential suitors. Chelsea are believed to have agreed terms with the Argentine, but there's still work to be done on the fee.

United wanted £70m for Garnacho back in January, and that was considered too steep for Chelsea and Napoli. A move to Stamford Bridge this summer could still happen, though.

Ruben Amorim certainly appears to have no space for Garnacho, who was left out of pre-season matches. The same applies to left-back Tyrell Malacia, though there has been less interest in the former Feyenoord man.

Xavi Simons (RB Leipzig to Chelsea)

Chelsea have strengthened in attacking areas, with Estevao Willian joined by strikers Liam Delap and Joao Pedro. The supporting cast could use some new blood, though, especially with Madueke moving on.

It's for this reason that Garnacho might not be the only addition. Xavi Simons of RB Leipzig has been eyed for a while, and Leipzig's failure to qualify for Europe could make a deal possible.

Chelsea have been keen to send a player the other way, though, and this is where the problems lie. Christopher Nkunku could ultimately return to his former club, but it sounds like he'd need to take a wage hit.

Harvey Elliott (Liverpool to RB Leipzig)

If Leipzig are after a Simons successor, Elliott looks like a good fit. The England Under-21 star struggled for minutes at Liverpool last season, and Wirt'z arrival will make game time even harder to come by.

Liverpool are looking for around £50m for the former Fulham man, though a lower initial sum plus a buy-back clause is another option. The Bundesliga may suit him well, too, especially if he gets the minutes denied him under Arne Slot.

A big season in Germany might even offer Elliott an England opportunity as we approach the World Cup. Thomas Tuchel will have eyes on the Bundesliga already, with captain Harry Kane at Bayern Munich, and a strong campaign would be hard to ignore.

Kostas Tsimikas (Liverpool to Nottingham Forest)

Speaking of Liverpool players who might find themselves on the move, Tsimikas is way down the pecking order. Andy Robertson is still at Anfield and Milos Kerkez has joined the party, leaving Tsimikas as the odd man out.

The Greek international has been of interest to Forest for a while. With Alex Moreno back at parent club Aston Villa after a loan at the City Ground, a new left-back seems like an obvious priority for Nuno's side.

Forest will play Europa League football this season after rivals Crystal Palace lost an appeal against their European demotion. We may well see them become one of the busier sides in the market now that a resolution has arrived.

Rasmus Hojlund (Manchester United to AC Milan)

It may be that Hojlund decides to stay and battle it out with Sesko for minutes at Old Trafford. If he decides against it, though, Milan could provide a way out.

The Danish striker showed promise in his first Serie A spell at Atalanta, prompting Manchester United to break the bank to sign him. Milan would be paying considerably less than £72m, though.

Juventus striker Vlahovic is another option for the Rossoneri. However, Hojlund may well come on lower wages and a hunger to make up for lost time.

Nicolas Jackson (Chelsea to Newcastle United)

Back to Newcastle, who you'd imagine will need at least one new striker if Isak leaves. They may need one regardless, having allowed Callum Wilson - now at West Ham - to leave upon the expiry of his contract.

Jackson missed out on Chelsea's last two 'weekender' friendlies amid reported interest. Delap and Joao Pedro have seen him relegated to the status of third-choice striker, but he could yet be reintegrated.

The issue here is Chelsea's steep asking price. Newcastle are unlikely to be prepared to pay anywhere near the £80m the Blues want for a player who scored 10 league goals last term.

Yoane Wissa (Brentford to Newcastle United)

If Newcastle only sign one striker, Wissa could well be the one. The Congolese star comfortably outscored Jackson last term despite playing for a mid-table finisher in Brentford, though he is a fair bit older than the Magpies' other target.

Early offers in the region of £25m have been rejected by the Bees, both in January from Nottingham Forest and more recently. It looks like £35m could get the deal done, though.

Wissa has been back in Brentford training and could yet feature against Forest in te league opener. It may well be a different story in September.
