Blink and you miss it as far as the summer break is concerned, with the Premier League’s start now just three days away.
Manchester United will kick things off on Friday night at home to Fulham, with Erik ten Hag’s side among the league’s (and Europe’s) top spenders this summer.
Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui’s moves were confirmed yesterday, with the rest of the league playing catch-up in terms of spending.
Newcastle United are among the teams looking to add players to their roster, with Marc Guehi rumoured as a Magpies’ target.
Crystal Palace are keen to keep the centre-back, but chairman Steve Parish has hinted a deal could be struck in the coming days.
Elsewhere, Chelsea have their eyes on a Cole Palmer repeat, whereas Liverpool’s hunt for their first signing of the summer window continues.

Newcastle issued Marc Guehi instructions by Palace
Newcastle United have been told to pay up or suck up by Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish.
The Magpies have reportedly lodged three bids for the defender, but none have been successful so far.
Speaking to Sky Sports News on Tuesday, Parish said: “Nobody has got to the valuation yet. If you want a superstar player you need to pay superstar money. It’s not near the point where we have to make a decision.”
