2024 PREMIER LEAGUE TRANSFER WINDOW INS AND OUTS
The transfer window is one of the most exciting times in the football calendar – especially in the Premier League.
It provides teams with the opportunity to make the addition which could change their future trajectory. Whether it’s a household name with a proven track record or an unknown quantity prompting hours-long YouTube adventures, there is a certain type of optimism that only a new signing brings.
BetMGM is here to take you through all the incomings and outgoings during the 2024/25 Premier League summer transfer window and the impact they could have on your club’s campaign.
Arsenal
Ins: David Raya (Brentford); Lucas Nygaard (FC Nordsjaelland); Tommy Setford (Ajax); Riccardo Calafiori (Bologna); Mikel Merino (Real Sociedad); Raheem Sterling (Chelsea, loan); Neto (Bournemouth, loan)
Outs: Emile Smith Rowe (Fulham); Eddie Nketiah (Crystal Palace); Aarin Ramsdale (Southampton); Arthur Okonkwo (Wrexham); Mohamed Elneny (Al-Jazira); Albert Sambi Lokonga (Sevilla, loan); Reiss Nelson (Fulham, loan); Nuno Tavares (Lazio, loan); Karl Hein (Real Valladolid, loan); Fabio Silva (FC Porto, loan)
Arsenal were whiskers away from winning their first title in two decades last season. To help bolster their chances this campaign, they have brought in goalkeeper David Raya on a permanent transfer from Brentford after the Spaniard registered 16 clean sheets to win the 2023/24 Golden Glove Award. Plus, the Gunners have added Italy international and Euro 2024 standout Riccardo Calafiori to their backline options. These permanent signatures and the acquisitions of loanees like Raheem Sterling have cemented Arsenal as second favourites for the Premier League crown at 2/1.
Aston Villa
Ins: Cameron Archer (Sheffield United); Ross Barkley (Luton); Enzo Barrenechea (Juventus); Lewis Dobbin (Everton); Samuel Iling-Junior (Juventus); Ian Maatsen (Chelsea); Amadou Onana (Everton); Jaden Philogene (Hull City)
Outs:: Moussa Diaby (Al-Ittihad); Douglas Luiz (Juventus); Tim Iroegbunam (Everton); Cameron Archer (Southampton); Omari Kellyman (Chelsea); Morgan Sanson (OGC Nice); Vijami Sinisalo (Celtic); Calum Chambers (Cardiff); Benjamin Chrisene (Norwich); Phillipe Coutinho (Vasco De Gama, loan); Lewis Dobbin (West Brom, loan); Filip Marschall (Crewe, loan); Tommi O'Reilly (Shrewsbury, loan); Louie Barry (Stockport, loan); Sebastian Revan (Wrexham); Jack McDowell (QPR); Dylan Mitchell (Swindon); Kaine Kesler-Hayden (Preston, loan); Lino Sousa (Bristol Rovers, loan); Alex Moreno (Nottingham Forest, loan); Samuel Iling-Junior (Bologna); Leander Dendoncker (Anderlecht, loan)
Unai Emery’s Aston Villa have had the difficult task of creating a squad ready for domestic and European competitions this summer. They have strengthened their group with the return of former Villan Jaden Philogene as well as Amadou Onana and Ian Maatsen arriving from Premier League rivals Everton and Chelsea respectively. Important squad members such as Moussa Diaby and Douglas Luiz, who contributed 28 goals to Villa’s success last year, have departed though.
How they will fare with balancing the fixture congestion remains to be seen but they are 4/1 to repeat the feat of last season and finish in the top four while a top-six finish also provides some potential value at 11/10.
Bournemouth
Ins: Daniel Jebbison (Sheffield United); Alex Paulsen (Wellington Phoenix); Luis Sinisterra (Leeds); Eres Unal (Getafe); Koby Mottoh (Portsmouth); Dean Huijsen (Juventus); Julian Araujo (Barcelona); Evanilson (Porto); Kepa Arizabalaga (Chelsea, loan)
Outs: Kieffer Moore (Sheffield United); Dominic Solanke (Tottenham Hotspur); Lloyd Kelly (Newcastle); Jamal Lowe (Sheffield Wednesday); Jack Wadham (Sutton); Gavin Kilkenny (Swindon); Hamed Traore (AJ Auxerre, loan); Jaidon Anthony (Burnley, loan); Chris Mepham (Sunderland, loan); Michael Dacosta Gonzalez (Crawley, loan); Charlie Osborne (Hartberg, loan); Joe Rothwell (Leeds, loan); Dan Abu-Abdei (Carlisle, loan); Alex Paulsen (Auckland FC, loan); Romain Faivre (Stade Brestois, loan)
Andoni Iraola’s first season in charge of the Cherries can be viewed as a profound success. Bournemouth finished the season in 12th after Dominic Solanke’s career-best 19 Premier League goals. Bigger clubs were circling for the English striker and Tottenham Hotspur won the race after matching his £65 million release clause.
Iraola has brought in some competition in the attacking areas with Evanilson and Eres Unal arriving on permanent transfers, so we could yet see Bournemouth push beyond their midtable finish from last season.
### Brentford **Ins:** Igor Thiago (Club Brugge); Benjamin Fredrick (Simoiben); Julian Eyestone (Duke Blue Devils); Fabio Carvalho (Liverpool); Sepp van den Berg (Liverpool); Gustavo Nunes (Gremio); Jayden Meghoma (Southampton) **Outs:**: Ivan Toney (Al-Ahli); David Raya (Arsenal); Daniel Oyegoke (Hearts); Shandon Baptiste (Luton); Thomas Strakosha (AEK Athens); Angel Waruigh (Eastleigh); Charlie Goode (Stevenage); Shandon Baptiste (Luton); Ellery Balcombe (St Mirren, loan); Michael Olakigbe (Wigan, loan); Frank Onyeka (Augsburg, loan); Tristan Crama (Exeter, loan); Finley Stevens (St Pauli); Zanka (Royal Antwerp)🤩 Football idol

All the rumours surrounding Brentford this summer were bound to centre on striker Ivan Toney. The England international announced his intentions to “play for a top club” but he eventually found his way to Al-Ahli in the final moments of the transfer window. Thomas Frank appeared to plan for Toney’s departure by bringing in Igor Thiago from Club Brugge – however misfortune struck when the Brazilian suffered a meniscus injury on his debut and he will now be absent for most of the rest of the year.
Besides the late additions of Liverpool duo Fabio Carvalho and Sepp Van Den Berg, it was a reasonably quiet window at the Brentford Community Stadium, which could be a slight cause for concern considering their relatively disappointing 16th-placed finish last term.
Are they serious relegation contenders at 7/1?
Brighton
Ins: Yankuba Minteh (Newcastle); Ibrahim Osman (Norsjaelland); Mats Wieffer (Feyenoord); Malick Yalcouye (IFK Gothenburg); Amario Cozier-Duberry (Arsenal); Brajan Gruda (Mainz); Georginio Rutter (Leeds); Ferdi Kadioglu (Fenerbahce); Matt O’Riley (Celtic)
Outs: Pascal Groß (Borussia Dortmund); Deniz Undav (VfB Stuttgart); Billy Gilmour (Napoli); Mahmoud Dahoud (Eintracht Frankfurt); Kacper Kozlowski (Gaziantep); Adam Lallana (Southampton); Marc Leonard (Birmingham); James Beadle (Sheffield Wednesday, loan); Ben Jackson (Livingston, loan); Kjell Scherpen (Sturm Graz, loan); Tom McGill (MK Dons, loan); Facundo Buonanote (Leicester City, loan); Ibrahim Osman (Feyenoord, loan); Andrew Moran (Stoke, loan); Abdallah Sima (Stade Brest, loan); Jeremy Sarmiento (Burnley, loan); Valentin Barco (Sevilla, loan)
The biggest departure at the Amex this summer wasn’t a player but a manager. Roberto De Zerbi left for pastures new and was replaced by the 31-year-old Fabian Hurzeler. Brighton’s new German coach has wasted no time making new additions to the squad with Yankuba Minteh arriving from Newcastle and Mats Wieffer joining from Feyenoord despite interest from other Premier League clubs.
Brighton’s Premier League record scorer Pascal Groß is one notable omission from this year's side. His 13 assists from last season could well be missed this term, however, exciting young additions like Georginio Rutter and Matt O’Riley, who had more than 10 assists each last term, should fill the void left by the German international.
Chelsea
Ins: Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall (Leicester); Joao Felix (Atletico Madrid); Marc Guiu (Barcelona); Omari Kellyman (Aston Villa); Tosin Adarabioyo (Fulham); Renato Veiga (Basel); Caleb Wiley (Atlanta United); Estevao Willian (Palmeiras); Filip Jorgensen (Villarreal); Pedro Neto (Wolves); Aaron Anselmino (Boca Juniors); Mike Penders (Genk); Jadon Sancho (Manchester United, loan) Outs: Romelu Lukaku (Napoli); Conor Gallagher (Atletico Madrid); Lewis Hall (Newcastle); Omari Hutchinson (Ipswich); Ian Maatsen (Aston Villa); Hakim Ziyech (Galatasary); Malang Sarr (Lens); Thiago Silva (Fluminense); Angelo (Al-Nassr); Diego Moreira (Strasbourg); Andrey Santos (Strasbourg, loan); Alfie Gilchrist (Sheffield United, loan); Gabriel Slonina (Barnsley, loan); Caleb Wiley (Strasbourg, loan); Lesley Ugochukwu (Southampton, loan); Aaron Anselmino (Boca Juniors, loan); Kepa Arrizabalaga (Bournemouth, loan); Djordje Petrovic (Strasbourg, loan); Trevor Chalobah (Crystal Palace, loan); Raheem Sterling (Arsenal, loan); Armando Broja (Everton, loan); Bashir Humphreys (Burnley, loan)
Another Todd Boehly transfer window, another summer of immense turnover at Chelsea. New manager Enzo Maresca brought midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall with him from Leicester while the Blues have prioritised bringing high-potential youngsters like Marc Guiu, Renato Veiga and Filip Jorgensen through the doors.
Pedro Neto also joined the Blues after impressing across five seasons at Molineux and Joao Felix returned permanently after his loan spell in 2022/23 when he produced four goals in 16 Premier League appearances.
### Crystal Palace **Ins:** Chadi Riad (Barcelona); Daichi Kamada (Lazio); Eddie Nketiah (Arsenal); Maxence Lacroix (Wolfsburg); Ismaila Sarr (Marseille); Matt Turner (Nottingham Forest, loan); Trevor Chalobah (Chelsea, loan)Enzo Maresca's side managed just one win in pre-season... 😳

Outs: Michael Olise (Bayern Munich); Joachim Andersen (Fulham); Sam Johnstone (Wolves); Jordan Ayew (Leicester); Scott Banks (St. Pauli); Jairo Riedewald (Royal Antwerp); Malcolm Ebiowei (Oxford United, loan); Jesurun Rak-Sakyi (Sheffield United, loan); Joe Whitworth (Exeter); David Ozoh (Derby); Naouirou Ahamada (Stade Rennais, loan); Odsonne Edouard (Leicester, loan)
Oliver Glasner had the Eagles flying at the back end of last season, winning six of the last seven games of the campaign including a 4-0 win over Manchester United and a 5-0 win over Aston Villa.
The feelgood factor has certainly returned to Selhurst Park since the arrival of the former Eintracht Frankfurt boss but the loss of Michael Olise will have dampened spirits slightly. Bayern Munich’s new winger had the seventh-best goals per 90 minutes among players with at least 1,000 Premier League minutes last season and proved a standout for France at the Paris Games.
Eagles fans can, however, take solace in striker Jean-Philippe Mateta’s form as he bagged five goals at the Olympics after finishing last season with 13 goals in his final 13 games of the 2023/24 campaign.
Additions such as Maxence Lacroix, Eddie Nketiah, and Trevor Chalobah should help Glasner and company turn around an indifferent start to the season.
Everton
Ins: Omari Benjamin (Arsenal); Jack Harrison (Leeds, loan); Jesper Lindstrom (Napoli, loan); Tim Iroegbunam (Aston Villa); Iliman Ndiaye (Marseille); Jake O’Brien (Lyon); Asmir Begovic (QPR); Armando Broja (Chelsea, loan); Orel Mangala (Lyon, loan)
Outs: Lewis Dobbin (Aston Villa), Ben Godfrey (Atalanta); Amadou Onana (Aston Villa); Andy Lonergan (Wigan); Neal Maupay (Marseille, loan); Mason Holgate (West Brom, loan); Harry Tyrer (Blackpool, loan)
Sean Dyche’s Everton built last season’s success on a solid defence, finishing the season with the fourth most stubborn backline in the league behind Arsenal, Manchester City and Liverpool.
There will be a fresh face back there this season in Jake O’Brien. The Ireland international arrives on Merseyside after 27 appearances in Ligue 1 for Lyon, leading the French side in clearances and scoring five times in all competitions.
It is worth noting that, had Everton not been docked eight points last season, they would have been on the precipice of a top-10 finish. They’ve had a dismal start to the new campaign – could the Toffees still steer themselves clear of relegation? The Toffees are currently 33/20 to go down.
Fulham
Ins: Ryan Sessegnon (Free); Emile Smith Rowe (Arsenal); Jorge Cuenca (Villarreal); Joachim Andersen (Crystal Palace); Sander Berge (Burnley); Reiss Nelson (Arsenal, loan)
Outs: Joao Palhinha (Bayern Munich); Jay Stansfield (Birmingham); Bobby Decordova-Reid (Leicester); Tosin Adarabioyo (Chelsea); Tyrese Francois (Wigan); George Okkas (Rio Ave); Marek Rodak (Al-Ettifaq); George Wickens (Lincoln); Tim Ream (Charlotte FC); Matt Dibley-Dias (Northampton, loan); Devan Tanton (Chesterfield, loan); Luke Harris (Birmingham, loan)
Fulham were slow starters this summer. Up until they agreed a deal for Emile Smith Rowe on 4th August, the Cottagers only had one fresh face through the door.
They have started to pick up the pace with the addition of the decorated England youth international Smith Rowe as well as versatile defender Jorge Cuenca from Villarreal. Andersen, Berge, and Nelson arrived at Craven Cottage later in the window to help Marco Silva’s side start looking up the Premier League table.
One glaring omission from Fulham’s squad this season is Joao Palhinha. The Portuguese midfielder left Craven Cottage for Bayern Munich and manager Marco Silva has not quite been able to find a direct replacement in the window for the man who made more tackles (152) than any other Premier League player last term.
Ipswich
Ins: Liam Delap (Man City); Omari Hutchinson (Chelsea); Jacob Greaves (Hull City); Arijanet Muric (Burnley); Jack Clarke (Sunderland); Dara O’Shea (Burnley); Ben Johnson (West Ham); Conor Townsend (West Brom); Chiedozie Ogbene (Luton); Sammie Szomodics (Blackburn); Kalvin Phillips (Manchester City, loan); Jens Cajuste (Napoli, loan)
Outs: Gassan Ahadme (Charlton); Idris El Mizouni (Oxford); Silva Mexes (Manchester United); Danny Cullum (Sudbury); Nick Hayes (Barnet); Vaclav Hladky (Burnley); Kayden Jackson (Derby); Jack Manly (Leiston) Seth O'Neill (Ipswich Wanderers) Cameron Stewart (Coleraine); Corrie Ndaba (Kilmarnock); Panutche Kamara (Crawley); Elkan Baggott (Blackpool, loan)
Newly promoted Ipswich Town have certainly strengthened their squad for Premier League action. Liam Delap and Jacob Greaves joined after impressive seasons at Hull City, with the latter winning the club’s player of the year, players’ player of the year and supporters’ player of the year awards.
Highly-rated midfielder Omari Hutchinson returns to the Tractor Boys permanently after 16 goal contributions but that has not been enough to prevent Ipswich from starting the season odds-on at 9/10 to drop back down to England’s second tier.
Leicester
Ins: Oliver Skipp (Tottenham); Bilal El Khannouss (Genk); Abdul Fatawu (Sporting CP); Michael Golding (Chelsea); Caleb Okoli (Atalanta); Jordan Ayew (Crystal Palace); Bobby Decordova-Reid (Fulham); Facundo Buonanote (Brighton, loan); Odsonne Edouard (Crystal Palace, loan) Outs: Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall (Chelsea); Lewis Brunt (Wrexham); Shane Flynn (Waterford); Kelechi Iheanacho (Sevilla); Silko Thomas (Wigan, loan); Harry Souttar (Sheffield United, loan); Tom Cannon (Stoke); Wayne Marcal (De Graafschap)
On the subject of the second tier, the current favourites for relegation are Leicester City at 7/20.
It makes sense considering the lack of transfer activity at the King Power Stadium this summer; very few incomings and the huge loss of Dewsbury-Hall implies a tough season for the former Premier League champions.
Manager Steve Cooper has brought in Premier League experience with Bobby Decordova-Reid from Fulham while young Italian Caleb Okoli has been drafted in from Atalanta to bolster their defensive ranks. Elsewhere, Abdul Fatawu has become a Foxes mainstay after 13 assists last campaign.
Liverpool
Ins: Giorgi Mamardashvili (Valencia); Federico Chiesa (Juventus)
Outs: Giorgi Mamardashvili (Valencia, loan); Fabio Carvalho (Brentford); Sepp van den Berg (Brentford); Anderson Arroyo (Burgos); Adrian (Real Betis); Melkamu Frauendorf (Hannover); Nathan Giblin (AFC Liverpool); Francis Gyimah (Stoke); Luke Hewitson (Fleetwood); Zac Jagielka (Hull); Adam Lewis (Morecambe); Calvin Ramsay (Wigan, loan); Stefan Bajcetic (RB Salzburg, loan); Ben Doak (Middlesbrough, loan); Nat Phillips (Derby, loan); Rhys Williams (Morecambe); Thiago Alcantara (Retired)
There was limited transfer business at Anfield this summer. Only two new additions were made by Arne Slot, and no major players have left the team. Thiago Alcantara made the decision to retire at the end of the 2023/24 season but he never managed more than 25 appearances in a league season on Merseyside and as such is unlikely to be a big miss.
The vast majority of the squad remains the same and Liverpool are 9/2 to lift the Premier League crown after last year’s third-placed finish and an exciting start to the season.

Manchester City
Ins: Savio (Troyes); Ilkay Gundogan (Barcelona)
Outs: Liam Delap (Ipswich); Joao Cancelo (Al-Hilal); Tommy Doyle (Wolves); Lewis Fiorini (Stockport County); Sergio Gomez (Real Sociedad); Taylor Harwood-Bellis (Southampton); Julian Alvarez (Atletico Madrid); Yan Couto (Borussia Dortmund, loan); Issa Kabore (Benfica, loan); Kalvin Phillips (Ipswich, loan); Maximo Perrone (Como, loan)
How can you improve on the best team in English football? It’s proving a difficult task for Pep Guardiola as only one new name will be lining up for the Citizens this season (an old name has also joined in the form of Ilkay Gundogan).
Savio, who signed from City’s sister club Troyes, assisted 10 goals on loan at Girona last season and will likely improve on that tally this term with Erling Haaland as his main outlet. It’s worth noting that Haaland is [1/5](/sports#event/1021242772] to win his third straight Golden Boot.
Haaland’s unmatched goalscoring record may have played a part in fellow forward Julian Alvarez leaving the Etihad for Atletico Madrid this summer as the Argentinian sought guaranteed game time. Alvarez will be a loss for Guardiola’s men but it hasn’t been enough to shift their status as 11/10 favourites for the title.
Manchester United
Ins: Leny Yoro (Lille), Joshua Zirkzee (Bologna); Matthijs de Ligt (Bayern Munich); Noussair Mazraoui (Bayern Munich); Manuel Ugarte (PSG); Silva Mexes (Ipswich)
Outs: Scott McTominay (Napoli); Alvaro Fernandez (Benfica); Mason Greenwood (Marseille); Willy Kambwala (Villareal); Aaron Wan-Bissaka (West Ham); Hannibal (Burnley); Facundo Pellestri (Panathinaikos); Donny Van De Beek (Girona); Omari Forson (Monza); Charlie McNeill (Sheffield Wednesday); Raphael Varane (Como); Shola Shoretire (PAOK); Joe Hugill (Wigan, loan); Jadon Sancho (Chelsea, loan)
New owners, new era at Manchester United. Jim Ratcliffe and co. wasted little time in getting their business done in the summer transfer window with Leny Yoro and Joshua Zirkzee joining the Red Devils in mid-July.
The feelgood factor was quickly quelled after Yoro suffered a foot injury during pre-season which required surgery. Fans will have to wait another three months to see the 18-year-old player, but new signing Matthijs de Ligt could make an impact during his absence.
Manuel Ugarte fills the whole in defensive midfield for the Red Devils but the jury is still out on whether Erik ten Hag’s side can achieve another top-four finish – they are 4/1 to manage it.
Newcastle
Ins: Lewis Hall (Chelsea); Miodrag Pivas (FK Jedinstvo Ub); Odysseas Vlachodimos (Nottingham Forest); Lloyd Kelly (Bournemouth); John Ruddy (Birmingham); William Osula (Sheffield United)
Outs: Elliot Anderson (Nottingham Forest); Yankuba Minteh (Brighton); Kyle Crossley (South Shields); Jude Smith (Carlisle); Dylan Stephenson (Dagenham and Redbridge); Kelland Watts (Cambridge); Matt Ritchie (Portsmouth); Ryan Fraser (Southampton); Jamal Lewis (Sao Paulo, loan)
Newcastle have had an understated transfer window. Lewis Hall made his loan move from Chelsea permanent while Lloyd Kelly and Odysseas Vlachodimos joined from Premier League rivals Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest respectively to help reinforce Eddie Howe’s squad after last season’s injury crisis.
The Magpies have not lost anybody of note either. Elliot Anderson and Yankuba Minteh departed for a combined £65 million, with the latter failing to make a first-team appearance in front of the Toon Army. Crucially, they have kept hold of last season’s top scorer Alexander Isak as the St James’ Park men look to return to the Champions League promised land once more.
Nottingham Forest
Ins: Elliot Anderson (Newcastle); Eric Da Silva Moreiro (St Pauli); Nikola Milenkovic (Fiorentina); Carlos Miguel (Corinthians); Marko Stamenic (Red Star Belgrade); Shea Cahill (Brisbane Roar); Jota Silva (Vitoria Guimaraes); Ramon Sosa (Talleres); David Carmo (Porto); Morato (Benfica); James Ward-Prowse (West Ham, loan); Alex Moreno (Aston Villa, loan)
Outs: Remo Freuler (Bologna); Orel Mangala (Lyon); Moussa Niakhate (Lyon); Brandon Aguilera (Rio Ave); Julian Larsson (Burton); Odysseas Vlachodimos (Newcastle); Joe Worrall (Burnley); Scott McKenna (Las Palmas); Henry Lister (Hearts); Esapa Osong (Rotherham, loan); Jonathan Panzo (Rio Ave, loan); Matt Turner (Crystal Palace, loan); Josh Bowler (Preston, loan); Marko Stamenic (Olympiakos, loan); Lewis O'Brien (Los Angeles FC, loan); Omar Richards (Rio Ave, loan); David Carmo (Olympiakos, loan)
Nottingham Forest came dangerously close to being relegated last season, finishing 17th, so reinforcements were needed at the City Ground.
Elliot Anderson has joined from Newcastle United and Nikola Milenkovic arrives with European pedigree after a spell with two-time Europa Conference League runners-up Fiorentina.
The defensive stalwart played 34 times for La Viola last campaign, as well as starting every game for Serbia at Euro 2024. Some solid acquisitions have helped Forest’s chances of survival and they are now out to 4/1 to finish in the relegation spots.
Southampton
Ins: Flynn Downes (West Ham); Aaron Ramsdale (Arsenal); Cameron Archer (Aston Villa); Ronnie Edwards (Peterborough); Taylor Harwood-Bellis (Manchester City); Yukinari Suguwara (AZ Alkmaar); Ben Brereton Diaz (Villarreal); Rento Takoaka (Nissho Gakuen High School); Nathan Wood (Swansea); Adam Lallana (Brighton); Mateus Fernandes (Sporting CP); Brook Myers (Charlton); Khiani Shombe (Lewisham Borough); Charlie Taylor (Burnley); Ryan Fraser (Newcastle); Wellington (Sao Paulo, joining in January); Juan (Sao Paulo, joining in January); Kurya Matsuki (FC Tokyo); Lesley Ugochukwu (Chelsea, loan); Maxwel Cornet (West Ham)
Outs: Duja Caleta-Car (Lyon); Lyanco (Atletico Mineiro); Romain Perraud (Real Betis); Che Adams (Torino); Matt Carson (Torquay); Luke Pearce (Cardiff); Sekou Mara (Strasbourg); Carlos Alcaraz (Flamengo); Shea Charles (Sheffield Wesnesday, loan); Kuryu Matsuki (Goztepe, loan); Zach Awe (Accrington, loan); Lewis Payne (Cheltenham, loan); Ollie Wright (Yeovil, loan); Nico Lawrence (MK Dons, loan); Cameron Bragg (Crawley, loan); Juan (Goztepe, loan);
The busiest of the newly promoted outfits has been Southampton.
They have recruited familiar faces in defender Taylor Harwood-Bellis and midfielder Flynn Downes who played pivotal roles during Russell Martin’s promotion charge, while Nathan Wood and Ronnie Edwards will hope to make the step up to Premier League football after proving to be impressive EFL talents.
Veteran additions such as Adam Lallana and Charlie Taylor bring a nice balance to the Saints’ squad ahead of the upcoming campaign.
Tottenham
Ins: Dominic Solanke (Bournemouth); Wilson Odobert (Burnley); Lucas Bergvall (Djugarden); Archie Gray (Leeds United); Yang Min-hyuk (Gangwon FC); Timo Werner (RB Leipzig, loan)
Outs: Eric Dier (Bayern Munich); Oliver Skipp (Leicester); Troy Parrott (AZ Alkmaar); Joe Rodon (Leeds); Manor Solomon (Leeds); Giovani Lo Celso (Real Betis); Ivan Perisic (Hadjuk Split); Japhet Tanganga (Millwall); Tanguy Ndombele (OGC Nice); Ryan Sessegnon (Fulham); Emerson Royal (AC Milan); Matthew Craig (Barnsley, loan); Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg (Marseille, loan); Bryan Gil (Girona, loan); Alejo Veliz (Espanyol, loan); Dane Scarlett (Oxford United, loan); Ashley Phillips (Stoke, loan)
Tottenham enjoyed a modest transfer window, especially compared to last year when they brought in 10 new names. There has been an emphasis on youth in Spurs’ new additions with Archie Gray, Lucas Bergvall and Yang Min-hyuk all yet to celebrate their 19th birthdays.
Timo Werner is the elder statesman of the signings at 28 – he impressed enough on loan last year to earn another spell under Ange Postecoglou. Plus, Dominic Solanke joined in a £65 million move from Bournemouth after his 19-goal haul last season, is it enough to get Spurs back in the top four at 5/2?

West Ham
Ins: Luis Guilherme (Palmeiras); Max Kilman (Wolves); Wes Foderingham (Sheffield United); Crysencio Summerville (Leeds United); Niclas Fullkrug (Borussia Dortmund); Guido Rodriguez (Real Betis); Aaron Wan-Bissaka (Manchester United); Jean-Clair Todibo (OGC NICE, loan); Carlos Soler (PSG, loan)
Outs: Said Benrahma (Lyon); Flynn Downes (Southampton); Thilo Kehrer (Monaco); Nathan Trott (Copenhagen); Joseph Anang (St Patrick's); Angelo Ogbonna (Watford); Ben Johnson (Ipswich); Maxwel Cornet (Southampton, loan); James Ward-Prowse (Nottnigham Forest, loan); Nayef Aguerd (Real Sociedad, loan); Michael Forbes (Bristol Rovers, loan); Krisztian Hegyi (Motherwell, loan); Levi Laing (Cheltenham Town, loan)
The Hammers have been among the Premier League’s highest spenders this summer. They have splashed the cash on reinventing the spine of their team, with Niclas Fullkrug providing a focal point up top after netting twice at the Euros and 15 times in all competitions for Borussia Dortmund as they made the Champions League final.
Crysencio Summerville provides unrivalled creativity from out wide, he finished as Leeds’ top scorer and the player with the most shot-creating actions per 90 minutes in the Championship (6.1) last term. Max Kilman and Guido Rodriguez are the less ostentatious of the new additions but should provide some much-needed steel in the centre of defence and midfield respectively.
The upshot? West Ham could be a dark horse for a top-six finish at a mouthwatering 11/2.
Wolves
Ins: Tommy Doyle (Manchester City); Andre (Fluminense); Sam Johnstone (Crystal Palace); Bastien Meupiyou (Nantes, loan); Rodrigo Gomes (Braga); Pedro Lima (Sport Recife); Arthur Nasta (Larkhall Athletic); Jorgen Strand Larsen (Celta Vigo, loan); Carlos Forbs (Ajax, loan)
Outs: Max Kilman (West Ham); Pedro Neto (Chelsea); Daniel Podence (Al-Shabab); Oliver Tipton (Solihull Moors); Bendeguz Bolla (Rapid Vienna) Muhamed Diomande (West Brom); Dom Plank (Hearts); Marvin Kaleta (Motherwell, loan); Hugo Bueno (Feyenoord, loan); Chiquinho (Mallorca, loan); Fabio Silva (Las Palmas); Ki-Jana Hoever (AJ Auxerre)
Many tipped Wolves for the drop last season after an underwhelming transfer window during which important players left Molineux but Gary O’Neil continued to display what an impressive coach he is, guiding the Old Gold to a healthy 14th-place finish.
It’s been another low-key summer window in the Midlands but Tommy Doyle’s permanent return, Andre’s arrival from Fluminense, and Jorgen Strand Larsen’s signing on loan are all intriguing deals.
