The summer transfer window is hotting up, despite a host of players still being in Germany for Euro 2024. Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal are all plotting rebuilds over the coming months, and they could be set to kickstart their spending sprees very shortly.
With Erik ten Hag retaining the faith of Sir Jim Ratcliffe, United have now turned their attention to acquiring the services of a forward and a centre-back. However, they could find themselves in the market for a left-winger too amid interest from Paris Saint-Germain in Marcus Rashford.
Chelsea are also hoping to bring in reinforcements at both ends of the pitch, though Enzo Maresca appears to be prioritising signing a midfielder too. The Blues are in contact with Leicester City over a move for Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, despite the player being in Brighton ahead of his medical with Fabian Hurzeler’s side.
