Arsenal

Mikel Arteta finds himself in an unusual position this summer, not hunting for a striker. The title holders have instead focused on bolstering their wide areas following Leandro Trossard's exit, bringing in Christos Tzolis from Club Brugge for £24m, where he netted 33 league goals over the previous two campaigns on the left flank. Having lost out on Morgan Rogers to Chelsea, securing Alex Scott is now a priority. Additional defensive options may be needed due to William Saliba's World Cup injury. Billy Munday

Major ins Piero Hincapié (Bayer Leverkusen, £45m, after loan), Christos Tzolis (Club Brugge, £34m) Major outs Leandro Trossard (Besiktas, £15.3m), Jakub Kiwior (Porto, £14.5m)

Aston Villa

A very active window is unfolding at Villa Park. Alejandro Garnacho looks set to swap with Morgan Rogers and Emiliano Martínez could still depart, which would require action in goal, while Arsenal's pursuit of Ezri Konsa continues. Striker remains uncertain, with Nicolas Jackson a possibility if Fenerbahce's interest in Ollie Watkins intensifies. A left-back to replace Lucas Digne is essential, and Leon Bailey could move to Hull. Will Unwin

Bournemouth

Much hinges on Alex Scott's future, with the midfielder rejecting a new deal and attracting interest from Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal. Benfica's António Silva is targeted to replace Marcos Senesi, and the hunt for a right-back persists. With a Europa League debut season looming, ensuring squad depth for the increased fixture load is vital. WU

Major ins Álvaro Rodríguez (Elche, £21.4m) Major outs Luis Sinisterra (Cruzeiro, £5.2m)

Brentford

Unlike previous summers, a major sale has not triggered spending. Focus has been on experience via Jaidon Anthony and Callum Wilson, while Jannik Schuster's arrival may signal Ethan Pinnock's exit. They will continue targeting high-potential players, with Manchester United's Noah Ajayi a possible option. WU

Major ins Jaidon Anthony (Burnley, £15m), Jannik Schuster (Red Bull Salzburg, £14m), Callum Wilson (West Ham, free)

Brighton

Early defensive investment has allowed time for other key work, including a potential central midfield overhaul and added winger options. Evan Ferguson's return from Roma raises questions about his long-term role. If he departs, support for Danny Welbeck ahead of a Conference League campaign will be needed. Bart Verbruggen's European interest could prompt a search for a new goalkeeper. WU

Major ins Luka Vuskovic (Tottenham, £46m), Zadok Yohanna (AIK, £21.5m), Pascal Struijk (Leeds United, £18m), Costinha (Olympiakos, 11m) Major outs Jan Paul van Hecke (Tottenham, £52m), Diego Coppola (Paris FC, £15.3m), James Milner (retired), Solly March (released)

Chelsea

Marc Cucurella's departure creates a left-back vacancy, with Newcastle's Lewis Hall or Rayo Vallecano's Pep Chavarría possible solutions. Midfield looks thin after Andrey Santos left and with Enzo Fernández linked elsewhere. Mike Penders may soon challenge for the No 1 spot. Morgan Rogers' signing will please fans, yet a top centre-back and striker remain priorities. BM

Major ins Morgan Rogers (Aston Villa, £117m), Marco Palestra (Atalanta, £47m), Geovany Quenda (Sporting, £40m), Emmanuel Emegha (Strasbourg, £21.6m) Major outs Marc Cucurella (Real Madrid, £52m), Andrey Santos (Manchester United, £50m), Tyrique George (Everton, £18m)

Coventry

Quality is needed throughout the squad. Efforts continue to re-sign Brighton goalkeeper Carl Rushworth after his successful Championship loan, though price and competition complicate matters. Finding clinical strikers will be key to Frank Lampard's survival hopes. Norman Bassette has returned to Belgium. WU

Major ins Loum Tchaouna (Burnley, £20m), Aurèle Amenda (Eintracht Frankfurt, £15.4m), Frank Onyeka (Brentford, undisclosed fee)

Crystal Palace

Retaining Maxence Lacroix, Jean-Philippe Mateta and Adam Wharton is crucial. Chelsea's interest in Lacroix and Wharton is the biggest concern, while extending Mateta's contract must be resolved. Greater squad depth is essential for another European campaign. Óscar Mingueza arrived sensibly on a free after Marc Guéhi was not replaced in January. Walter Benítez may seek regular football elsewhere. WU

Major ins Óscar Mingueza (Celta Vigo, free)

Everton

Young talent has arrived in Hayden Hackney, Tyrique George and Merlin Röhl. Established players are still required, particularly at right-back and centre-forward. Left-back, central midfield and another wide option, possibly Jack Grealish, feature on the wishlist. Andy Hunter

Major ins Tyrique George (Chelsea, £18m), Merlin Röhl (Freiburg, £17.3m), Hayden Hackney (Middlesbrough, £16.5m) Major outs Séamus Coleman (released)

Fulham

A new era under Álvaro Arbeloa brings significant work. Losing Raúl Jiménez and player of the season Harry Wilson creates gaps. A slow start to the window means a new striker, winger and centre-back must be found quickly. Real Madrid's Franco Mastantuono and Gonzalo García are under consideration. WU

Major ins Jonah Kusi-Asare (Bayern Munich, £5.2m) Major outs Issa Diop (Ipswich, £8.5m), Harry Wilson (Leeds, free), Raúl Jiménez (Wolves, free)

Hull

After avoiding a points deduction by selling Ivor Pandur and Aidon Shehu, the playoff winners plan 10-12 new signings. Reinforcements are needed across central defence, midfield and attack. Owner Acun Ilicali describes the club as a boiling volcano ready to erupt, yet manager Sergej Jakirovic must balance new faces with last season's strong team spirit. Loans and free transfers could prove vital. Louise Taylor

Major ins Jack Butland (Rangers, £3.5m) Major outs Ivor Pandur (Rangers, £6m)

Ipswich

Promotion with a new manager adds complexity as Gary O'Neil rebuilds. The goal is better preparation than before by adding physically robust players with top-flight experience, as shown by Issa Diop's signing. Further strengthening of the spine, especially midfield and centre-forward, is required. WU

Major ins Emersonn (Toulouse, £24m), Abdul Fatawu (Leicester, £20m), Issa Diop (Fulham, £8.5m), Chuba Akpom (Ajax, £7m) Major outs Arijanet Muric (Sassuolo, £6m)

Leeds

Daniel Farke prefers a compact squad but accepts some expansion is needed. Goalkeeping has already thinned with Karl Darlow and Illan Meslier gone, and Lucas Perri is wanted by Torino. New keepers top the list, with Manchester City's James Trafford a target, while Southampton's Shea Charles is also pursued. Harry Wilson and Tarik Muharemovic have arrived, and midfield remains a focus with Julian Brandt considered. LT

Liverpool

Arne Slot's earlier targets of two wingers and a right-back remain priorities despite the managerial change. Victor Muñoz has arrived as a versatile forward but not as a starter under Andoni Iraola. Bradley Barcola and Yan Diomande interest persists, though PSG may influence outcomes. Iraola is concerned about defensive depth and may need to act if Conor Bradley's knee recovery delays his return. AH

Major ins Jérémy Jacquet (Rennes, £55m), Víctor Muñoz (Osasuna, £34.5m) Major outs Mohamed Salah (released), Ibrahima Konaté (Real Madrid, free), Andy Robertson (Tottenham, free)

Manchester City

Elliot Anderson's British record move has not ended midfield interest, with Ayyoub Bouaddi targeted for around £85m. Enzo Maresca also monitors Malo Gusto, and a striker may be needed if Omar Marmoush departs. Rodri's future is uncertain with Real Madrid interest and one year left on his deal. Several players could leave, including Kalvin Phillips, Jack Grealish and others. Jamie Jackson

Major ins Elliot Anderson (Nottingham Forest, £116m), Mathys Detourbet (Troyes, £21.6m), Jeremy Monga (Leicester, £12.5m) Major outs Nathan Aké (Fenerbahce, £7m), Bernardo Silva (Real Madrid, free), John Stones (free agent)

Manchester United

Michael Carrick wants a third midfielder after Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans, eyeing Real Madrid's Eduardo Camavinga, Bournemouth's Alex Scott, Roma's Manu Koné and Fulham's Sander Berge. A left-back is also considered, with Newcastle's Lewis Hall and Fulham's Antonee Robinson watched. Marcus Rashford is available for around £26m and an exit is likely for the right deal, though he may start the season at the club. JJ
