Overview
- Arsenal have completed the signing of Ezri Konsa from Aston Villa in a deal reported at about £51m plus add‑ons after the defender underwent a medical, giving Mikel Arteta extra cover while William Saliba recovers.
- Tottenham have agreed terms with Manchester City for winger Savinho, with media reporting an initial fee around £75m–£85m and the player travelling to London for a medical as Spurs race to register him.
- Aston Villa confirmed the arrivals of Matteo Ruggeri and goalkeeper Zion Suzuki in moves worth close to a combined £50m as the club continues to sell key Europa League winners to meet UEFA and Premier League financial rules.
- Manchester City face confirmed and expected exits — including Rodri to Barcelona and Savinho’s likely departure — and manager Enzo Maresca said players who want to leave make retention difficult while the club plans replacements.
- The transfer window’s compressed schedule has produced linked, conditional deals and a rush of sales and replacements, a pattern that could keep clubs active up to the September 1 deadline and affect starting XIs early in the season.
