With merely weeks until the big kick-off Arsenal, Liverpool and West Ham have been among the biggest spenders
Arsenal
A new manager has arrived and five players have joined, with key signings in aim, defence and , not before time, defensive midfield. Unai Emery has since proclaimed his squad “complete”, with further arrivals unlikely unless “a big opportunity” presents itself. Simon Burnton
In Lucas Torreira( Sampdoria, PS26. 5m ); Bernd Leno( Bayer Leverkusen, PS19. 2m ); Sokratis Papastathopoulos( Borussia Dortmund, PS17. 7m ); Matteo Guendouzi( Lorient, PS8m ); Stephan Lichtsteiner( Juventus, free ).
Key outs Santi Cazorla( Villarreal, free ); Jack Wilshere( West Ham, free ).
Bournemouth
The 20 -year-old Welsh midfielder David Brooks, signed from Sheffield United for an initial fee of around PS10m, is the only arrival so far but certainly won't be the last. A new left-back appears to be the greatest focus, with Leganes's Diego Rico, Celtic's Kieran Tierney and Genoa's Diego Laxalt connected in recent weeks. SB
In David Brooks( Sheffield United, rising to PS11. 5m ).
Key outs Benik Afobe( Wolves, PS10m ); Lewis Grabban( Nottingham Forest, PS6m ); Max Gradel( Toulouse, PS1. 8m ); Adam Federici( Stoke, undisclosed ).
Brighton
Chris Hughton has already done some shrewd business. Leon Balogun, an experienced Nigeria international, and Bernardo, a promising Brazilian, will add rivalry in defence, while there are high hopes for Yves Bissouma after the 21 -year-old Mali midfielder's arrival from Lille. Luring Isaac Hayden from Newcastle would cap a productive summer. Jacob Steinberg
In Yves Bissouma( Lille, PS15m ); Bernardo( RB Leipzig, PS9m ); Florin Andone( Deportivo La Coruna, PS5. 3m ); Jason Steele( Sunderland, undisclosed ); David Button( Fulham, undisclosed ); Percy Tau( Mamelodi Sundowns, undisclosed ); Leon Balogun( Mainz, free ); Hugo Keto( Arsenal, free ).
Key outs Connor Goldson( Rangers, PS3m ); Jamie Murphy( Rangers, PS1m ); Uwe Hunemeier( Paderborn, undisclosed ); Steve Sidwell( released ); Liam Rosenior( released ).
Burnley
Sean Dyche has not signed anyone yet, though it is no secret he would like Swansea's Sam Clucas, a player he attempted to buy before the midfielder left Hull for south Wales. Burnley have released Scott Arfield and Dean Marney and Dyche acknowledges the squad is “skinny” for a club with Europa League commitments. Bringing Jay Rodriguez back could be on the cards and there is also interest in his West Bromwich teammate Craig Dawson. Paul Wilson
In None.
Key outs Scott Arfield( Rangers, free ); Dean Marney( released ).
Cardiff City
A solid window so far for the promoted side, “whos had” raided four old Championship challengers for additions in key areas. The arrival of striker Bobby Reid from Bristol City is particularly eyecatching. Two more signings are likely though and the Liverpool midfielder Marko Grujic, who spent the second half of last season on loan with the Bluebirds, is being sought for a longer stint. The West Brom winger Matt Phillips is another target. Nick Ames
In Bobby Reid( Bristol City, PS10m ); Josh Murphy( Norwich City, PS11m ); Greg Cunningham( Preston, PS4m ); Alex Smithies( QPR, PS3. 5m ).
Key outs None.
Chelsea
The arrival of Jorginho should help bring the” pinch of quality” Maurizio Sarri wants to add to his midfield, although far more will be needed in what may be a frantic few weeks. Aleksandr Golovin, the CSKA Moscow midfielder, and the Juventus defender Daniele Rugani are among Chelsea's top targets. Pre-season schemes would be thrown into chaos if Sarri cannot persuade Eden Hazard and Thibaut Courtois to stay. NA
In Jorginho( Napoli, PS50. 4m ).
Key outs Kenedy( Newcastle, loan ); Trevoh Chalobah( Ipswich Town, loan ); Mason Mount( Derby County, loan ).
Crystal Palace
Roy Hodgson says Palace must be frugal but there are areas in glaring need of improvement, particularly at centre-forward. They also hope to persuade Ruben Loftus-Cheek back from Chelsea for another year, a scheme that depends on Maurizio Sarri's views. External interest in Wilfried Zaha will remain until the winger signs a new deal; another forward, Bakary Sako, has rejected a new contract. Brentford's Ollie Watkins is a potential replacement for the latter. NA
In Vicente Guaita( Getafe, free ).
Key outs Yohan Cabaye( Al-Nasr, free ); Damien Delaney( Cork City, free ); Lee Chung-yong( released ); Diego Cavalieri( released ).
Everton
Marco Silva is still waiting on his first signing as Everton administrator, with the much-needed improvements to a poor squad yet to materialise. Interest has been registered in several left-backs , notably Celtic's Kieran Tierney and Lucas Digne, and Digne's Barcelona teammate Yerry Mina is a central defensive target. An attacking midfielder is also wanted at a club looking to slash its squad size and wage bill. Andy Hunter
In None.
Key outs Ramiro Funes Mori( Villarreal, PS4. 4m ); Wayne Rooney( DC United, free ); Joel Robles( Real Betis, free ).
Fulham
The PS3 0m double deal for Jean Michael Seri and Maxime le Marchand from Nice was a declaration of intent but there is more work to be done. Most importantly Fulham require a striker, with the on-loan Aleksandar Mitrovic having been an important factor in their promotion before returning to Newcastle. Work continues on a deal to secure his return. SB
In Jean Michael Seri( Nice, PS25m ); Maxime Le Marchand( Nice, PS7. 5m ).
Key outs David Button( Brighton, undisclosed ); Ryan Fredericks( West Ham, free ).
Huddersfield Town
Last season's goal shortage explains David Wagner's signing of Monaco's Adama Diakhaby for around PS8m. The France Under-2 1 striker scored only three goals in 30 appearances last term but Wagner clearly snoops potential. Ditto with Egypt's former Stoke winger Ramadan Sobhi, one of six newcomers to have signed for a collective total approaching PS30m. They include marquee buy Terence Kongolo, whose PS17. 5m permanent move from Monaco builds him Huddersfield's record signing. Louise Taylor
In Terence Kongolo( Monaco, PS17. 5m; Ramadan Sobhi( Stoke City, PS5. 7m ); Jonas Lossl( Mainz, PS2. 3m ); Adama Diakhaby( Monaco, undisclosed ); Juninho Bacuna( FC Groningen, undisclosed ); Erik Durm( Borussia Dortmund, undisclosed ); Ben Hamer( Leicester, free ).
Key outs None.
Leicester City
Riyad Mahrez's departure has been partly offset by the addition of James Maddison in creative words, while Ricardo Pereira and Jonny Evans look excellent defensive additions. The Liverpool goalkeeper Danny Ward has joined, while Lazio left-back Jordan Lukaku has been connected and there is an obvious need for a wide man to help fill the void left by Mahrez. Monaco's Rachid Ghezzal has been connected and interest in Jack Grealish could be resuscitated. NA
In James Maddison( Norwich, PS24m ); Ricardo Pereira( Porto, PS17. 5m ); Jonny Evans( West Brom, PS3. 5m ); Danny Ward( Liverpool, undisclosed ).
Key outs Riyad Mahrez( Manchester City, PS60m ); Ben Hamer( Huddersfield Town, free ); Robert Huth( released ).
Liverpool
Spectacularly done and star-dusted, it would seem. Some PS176m has been expended improving last season's Champions League runners-up, with the midfield overhauled by Naby Keita and Fabinho, Xherdan Shaqiri offering variety to the attack and, most importantly, Alisson addressing the longstanding goalkeeping problem for a world record fee for that posture. A PS53m deal for Nabil Fekir is not expected to be revived. AH
In Alisson( Roma, PS65m ); Naby Keita( RB Leipzig, PS52. 8m ); Fabinho( Monaco, PS40m ); Xherdan Shaqiri( Stoke City, PS13. 5m ).
Key outs Danny Ward( Leicester, undisclosed ); Emre Can( Juventus, free ); Jon Flanagan( Rangers, free ).
Manchester City
Pep Guardiola missed out on Jorginho, the midfielder preferring Chelsea, meaning the Catalan has managed only half of his proposed summer business. The word is Guardiola may not chase an alternative as he has Ilkay Gundogan and Fernandinho competing for the one berth, but it is worthwhile watching this space. Jamie Jackson
In Riyad Mahrez( PS60m, Leicester ).
Key outs Angus Gunn( Southampton, PS10m ); Pablo Maffeo( Stuttgart, PS8. 1m ); Angelino( PSV Eindhoven, PS5m ); Olarenwaju Kayode( Shakhtar Donetsk, PS2. 6m ); Yaya Toure( released ).
Manchester United
Jose Mourinho set out to upgrade his full-backs and though the 19 -year-old Diogo Dalot is untested the manager is now thought to be content with the position on each flank. Dalot will understudy Antonio Valencia on the right, and Luke Shaw is to be given the chance to challenge Ashley Young on the left. Romelu Lukaku apart, those charged with scoring- Anthony Martial, Marcus Rashford and Jesse Lingard- can be enigmatic so he may strengthen here, too. A player of Mahrez's ilk would have been perfect so why Mourinho never moved for him is a puzzle. JJ
In Fred( PS55m, Shakhtar Donetsk ); Diogo Dalot( PS19m, Porto ); Lee Grant( PS1. 5m, Stoke ).
Key outs Daley Blind( Ajax, PS14. 2m ); Sam Johnstone( West Brom, PS6. 5m ).
Newcastle United
Rafael Benitez foresaw spending around PS4 5m but has now been told he must sell to buy. A striker is his priority yet Salomon Rondon's potential PS1 6.5 m move from West Brom remains contingent on Newcastle selling Aleksandar Mitrovic to Fulham for PS20m. So far PS4. 5m has been invested on building the former Sparta Prague goalkeeper Martin Dubravka's move permanent. Chelsea's Kenedy has rejoined on loan and Ki Sung-yueng arrived for free from Swansea. Mikel Merino has gone to Real Sociedad for PS10m and Benitez covets Crystal Palace's Andros Townsend. LT
In Martin Dubravka( Sparta Prague, PS4. 5m ); Ki Sung-yueng( Swansea, free ); Kenedy( Chelsea, loan ).
Key outs Mikel Merino( Real Sociedad, PS10m ); Massadio Haidara( Lens, free ).
Southampton
Southampton have been proactive after last season's relegation scare. They will expect Angus Gunn to take the No 1 spot off Alex McCarthy, Jannik Vestergaard to strengthen a leaky defense and Mohamed Elyounoussi to fill the creative void left by Dusan Tadic, while Stuart Armstrong could also be a smart addition. However, Guido Carrillo's loan to Leganes is a reminder of recent fails. JS
In Jannik Vestergaard( Borussia Monchengladbach, PS18m ); Mohamed Elyounoussi( Basel, PS16m ); Angus Gunn( Manchester City, PS10m ); Stuart Armstrong( Celtic, PS7m ).
Key outs Dusan Tadic( Ajax, PS15m ); Guido Carrillo( Leganes, loan ).
Tottenham
There was relief when Mauricio Pochettino ignored Real Madrid's interest, but otherwise much of the focus has been on the move into the new White Hart Lane. The pace should pick up when the deviations of Toby Alderweireld, Mousa Dembele and Danny Rose are finalised, with Pochettino targeting Wilmar Barrios, Jack Grealish, Antony Martial and Wilfried Zaha. JS
In None.
Key outs Keanan Bennetts( Borussia Monchengladbach, PS2m ).
Watford
Gerard Deulofeu and Ben Foster are well known to the Premier League and, as former loanees, to Watford fans, but of the new arrivals Adam Masina, who is expected to become the first-choice left-back, could be the most important. A new striker is still required but with a bloated squad Watford are looking to sell first. SB
In Gerard Deulofeu( Barcelona, PS11. 5m ); Ben Foster( West Brom, PS4m ); Adam Masina( Bologna, PS3. 5m ); Marc Navarro( Espanyol, PS3m ); Ken Sema( Ostersund, PS1m ); Ben Wilmot( Stevenage, undisclosed ).
Key outs Nordin Amrabat( Al-Nassr, PS4m ); Mauro Zarate( Velez Sarsfield, PS2m ); Costel Pantilimon( Nottingham Forest, PS2m ).
West Ham
Manuel Pellegrini has wasted no time restructuring his squad since replacing David Moyes. West Ham broke their transfer record to sign Felipe Anderson in a deal worth up to PS4 2.5 m and hope that Jack Wilshere will prove a worthwhile gamble. Their business is largely done, but they could still target a striker and a defensive midfielder. JS
In Felipe Anderson( Lazio, PS33. 5m ); Issa Diop( Toulouse, PS22m ); Andriy Yarmolenko( Borussia Dortmund, PS17. 5m ); Lukasz Fabianski( Swansea City, PS7m ); Fabian Balbuena( Corinthians, PS3. 5m ); Ryan Fredericks( Fulham, free ); Jack Wilshere( Arsenal, free ).
Key outs Reece Burke( Hull City, PS1. 5m ); Ben Wells( QPR, undisclosed ); James Collins( released ); Patrice Evra( released ).
Wolves
An offshoot of the Portuguese league is establishing itself in the West Midlands, with goalkeeper Rui Patricio arriving from Sporting Lisbon as the headline signing of the summer and the Mexico striker Raul Jimenez joining him on a season's loan from Benfica. Wolves have been linked with Manchester City's young Ukrainian prospect Oleksandr Zinchenko, though dedicated what has already happened a move for Inter's Joao Mario( briefly find on loan at West Ham last season) seems more likely. PW
In Diogo Jota( Atletico Madrid, PS12. 6m ); Benik Afobe( Bournemouth, PS10m ); Willy Boly( Porto, PS10m ); Leo Bonatini( Al-Hilal FC, PS5m ); Ruben Vinagre( Monaco, PS2m ); Rui Patricio( Sporting CP, free ); Paulo Alves( Liverpool, free ); Raul Jimenez( Benfica, loan ).
Key outs Benik Afobe( Stoke, loan ); Jonathan Flatt( Scunthorpe, free ).
