As the Premier League season approaches, clubs are actively preparing for the 2024/25 campaign with several transfer deals in the works. Notably, West Ham, Tottenham, and Newcastle are among the teams looking to strengthen their squads before the transfer window closes at the end of the month. Arne Slot is targeting Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi as his first signing, although negotiations are ongoing as the Basque club is keen to retain the player.

Brighton is also facilitating a loan move for their young Argentinian midfielder to Leicester, aiming to provide him with more game time. Lastly, Julian Araujo is expected to move from Barcelona to Bournemouth for a fee of up to £9 million, as he seeks more opportunities.
