sport news Get ready for the summer splurge! Who's on your club's shopping list in this ... trends now
With the curtain drawn on the 2021-22 Premier League season, attention is already turning to the transfer market.
Some clubs will be content with how they're shaping up and make minor tweaks while others are looking at major overhauls.
Here, Sportsmail takes a look at how each side is likely to act and which players they could recruit.
Darwin Nunez is a target for Manchester United, who are in the market for a new forward
ARSENAL
Arsenal want two strikers, one who is physical, a centre midfielder, left-sided centre-back and cover at left-back. Mikel Arteta wants William Saliba back from Marseille but Eddie Nketiah, Alexandre Lacazette and Bernd Leno are expected to go.
Targets on a tight budget include City’s Gabriel Jesus, Everton pair Richarlison and Dominic Calvert Lewin, Sassuolo’s Gianluca Scamacca, Adam Hlozek of Sparta Prague and Leicester’s Youri Tielemans. Napoli’s Victor Osimhen is likely to be out of reach. Brazilian winger Marquinhos and USA keeper Matt Turner are already signed.
Alexandre Lacazette looks as though he could be on his way out of Arsenal this summer
Gabriel Jesus at Manchester City is among the candidates to bolster Arsenal's attack
ASTON VILLA
A centre-back, centre midfielder, cover at left-back to replace Matt Targett and another goalkeeper are Steven Gerrard’s priorities. Having already signed defensive midfielder Boubacar Kamara from Marseille on a five-year deal, they are pursuing a new centre back and a forward. James Tarkowski and Lille’s Sven Botman are among their options.
BOURNEMOUTH
A goalkeeper, three centre-backs, a left back and a number ten or a left winger that can play on the right are the positions Scott Parker would like covered.
Manchester United’s Dean Henderson has been talked about as has Middlesbrough winger Marcus Tavernier.
BRENTFORD
Thomas Frank wants two wing-backs with pace and power, two wingers who can alternate and a striker who has pace but can hold the ball up.
Keeping Christian Eriksen would be a coup but he has interest from Everton and Spurs too. Bologna’s Aaron Hickey, also fancied by Arsenal, and Ukraine winger Mykhaylo Mudryk from Shakhtar are among those targeted.
Christian Eriksen has been superb for Brentford and it would be a coup to keep him
BRIGHTON
A left-back to cover for Marc Cucurella’s potential departure, a defensive centre midfielder and a finisher are top of Brighton’s wishlist. There is interest in PSV Eindhoven’s Ibrahim Sangare as they prepare for Newcastle or Aston Villa to push for Yves Bissouma while Brighton expect Chelsea and Manchester City to ask for highly-rated Cucurella.
CHELSEA
Thomas Tuchel wants two new centre-backs and two wing-backs. Leipzig’s Josko Gvardiol is high on a list with Sevilla’s Joules Kounde and Villarreal’s Pau Torres as Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen depart while Barcelona targets Marcos Alonso and Cesar Azpilicueta are also expected to leave.
Hakim Ziyech and Christian Pulisic could be sold and N’Golo Kante has interest amid his contract talks. Romelu Lukaku will also hold talks.
Chelsea are losing Antonio Rudiger and he will be a massive miss for the Blues
CRYSTAL PALACE
Cover at left back, a right back, defensive and box to box midfielders plus a right-sided winger who can play central are Palace’s priorities. Cheick Doucoure from Lens and Arsenal’s Eddie Nketiah are among those discussed while Christian Benteke, Luka Milivojevic and Cheikou Kouyate could leave.
Keeping hold of Marc Guehi who has interest from Spurs and Michael Olise will be key. Wilfried Zaha’s deal also expires next summer.
EVERTON
Everton want a quick and dominant centre back to avoid another flirtation with relegation but are unlikely to be able to spend big. James Tarkowski., Wolves’ Conor Coady and Chelsea’s Levi Colwill are on their list while two midfielders, one defensive, one who is box to box, are also required.
Frank Lampard needs a striker too with Richarlison and Dominic Calvert-Lewin attracting interest. Selling the rest could be difficult.
Richarlison is attracting interest from elsewhere and Everton will be keen to keep him
FULHAM
A goalkeeper, two full-backs, two centre-backs - including a British one such as James Tarkowski or Forest’s Joe Worrall - are on Fulham’s wishlist plus three midfielders and a winger! Jean Michael Seri,
