Overview
- Arsenal confirmed the £51m signing of defender Ezri Konsa on Friday and have added Bruno Guimaraes and Christos Tzolis this summer to strengthen the squad for their title defence.
- Manager Mikel Arteta said the club are still “really active in the market,” signalling further moves are possible to cover long-term injury absences in defence.
- Tottenham have moved close to signing Manchester City winger Savinho in a deal reported at about £75–85m with the player given permission to travel for terms and a medical.
- Liverpool have seen a £50m offer for Brighton winger Yankuba Minteh rejected and are continuing to hunt wide options such as Bradley Barcola while new manager Andoni Iraola prepares for his first league game without Mohamed Salah.
- Aston Villa’s heavy sale of key players this summer has been driven in part by financial rules and fines, leaving Unai Emery to rush a squad rebuild that could affect Villa’s early-season competitiveness.
