As the summer transfer window draws closer to its close, clubs including Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, and Manchester United are scrambling to complete major deals. Arsenal’s hopes of signing Eberechi Eze have been dashed, with Tottenham emerging as frontrunners in the race for the Crystal Palace midfielder. Now, Mikel Arteta’s side must pivot to alternatives in the final days of the transfer market.
Meanwhile, Liverpool, who have already spent over £300 million this summer, continue to be linked with key signings, notably Alexander Isak from Newcastle and Marc Guehi from Crystal Palace. The Reds’ transfer ambitions show no signs of slowing down.
Manchester United’s interest in Brighton’s Carlos Baleba had initially cooled due to the high asking price, but there are reports that a deal could be revived.
Chelsea, looking to balance incomings and outgoings, are expected to be active ahead of the transfer deadline. Spurs, on the other hand, have been handed a boost in their pursuit of Manchester City winger Savinho.
Newcastle Complete Ramsey Signing
Newcastle has secured the signing of Jacob Ramsey from Aston Villa. The midfielder will wear the No41 shirt as he joins the Magpies for the new season. Ramsey’s addition strengthens Newcastle’s midfield options as they continue to improve under Eddie Howe.
Lucas Paqueta Set to Stay at West Ham
West Ham’s vice-chair, Karren Brady, has confirmed that Lucas Paqueta will remain with the club for the 2025/26 season. Despite speculation linking him to a move away, including interest from Manchester City earlier in the summer, Paqueta is expected to stay after being cleared of spot-fixing charges. Brady emphasized that the club’s support for Paqueta during his two-year investigation has only strengthened their commitment to keeping him.
Chelsea’s Search for a Centre-Back Solution
After Levi Colwill’s injury, Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca made it clear that the club needs another centre-back. However, reports suggest the club may not pursue an external signing and will rely on internal options. One potential solution is Josh Acheampong, who impressed during Chelsea’s recent match against Crystal Palace. Coached by Reece James, Acheampong demonstrated strong defensive positioning and could emerge as a viable option in the centre-back role.
