Transfer news: Every Premier League club's plans for summer window 2026

Arsenal Arsenal want to invest again in their first XI ahead of next season and, as champions, will target top quality that can improve on what they already have. Left wing and central midfield are the priorities – but there are other positions that could be strengthened depending on outgoings. Arsenal are on a drive to be financially sustainable, so there will need to be some sales to make sure the books are balanced. One of Arsenal's top targets over the last year has been Atletico Madrid forward Julian Alvarez. He remains hugely admired at the Emirates, but Atletico have shown their determination to keep him by ridiculing attempts from Barcelona and Real Madrid. The player, if he does leave, prefers a move to Barca. So Arsenal will likely have to target someone else who can predominantly play on the left wing, and they have been stepping up interest in Aston Villa's Morgan Rogers, although his future will not be determined until after the World Cup with England. Arsenal like Anthony Gordon but were content to see him go to Barcelona and, while an ideal target, Kvicha Kvaratskhelia is expected to remain at Paris Saint-Germain. Arsenal are understood to have watched his club-mate Bradley Barcola and Yan Diomande at RB Leipzig, as well as Eintracht Frankfurt's Jean-Matteo Bahoya. They are also one of the admirers of Bournemouth forward Junior Kroupi. In central midfield, Arsenal are in the mix for all the top players such as Sandro Tonali, Elliot Anderson - who is closing in on a move to Manchester City - Adam Wharton and others, although a clear first-choice target is unknown. Anything further is likely to be dependent on which members of the Arsenal squad have interest from elsewhere and indicate they may want to go for more games. However, the club might also look for a young defender who is versatile enough to cover a number of positions at the back, regardless of sales. Aston Villa Back in the Champions League, Aston Villa need to freshen their squad and add more numbers but are likely to have to sell a major name or two to stay in line with UEFA's financial rules. That person looks most likely to be Morgan Rogers. He has the highest value in the squad (at least £80m) and has serious interest from Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain. Goalkeeper Emi Martinez also has strong interest from Juventus, who are increasingly confident of getting him according to broadcaster in Italy, while Ollie Watkins is another player who will always have admirers ready to bid at the right price. Should Martinez leave, Villa will be in the market for a new first-choice goalkeeper, and they are among the clubs keen on James Trafford at Manchester City. News understands the club are also looking at signing another central midfielder, wingers and another striker. They are one of the clubs who want to sign Harry Wilson, who is out of contract at Fulham. Bournemouth Bournemouth stars Rayan, Alex Scott and Kroupi Junior are on the radar of some of Europe's top clubs, but all are considered not for sale. Rayan has an £86.6m (€100m) release clause that kicks in next summer. However, Kroupi - who is being monitored by Real Madrid, Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester City and Arsenal - does not. Scott is on the list at Manchester United, Liverpool and many other Premier League clubs, which Bournemouth are aware of - so they are in talks with him about extending his contract. As well as keeping these players, Bournemouth's focus is on signing a left-sided centre-back to replace Marcos Senesi, who has joined Tottenham on a free transfer, as well as a new striker. Bournemouth are also reviewing their goalkeeping options - with current work going into signing Lazio's Christos Mandas permanently following his loan. Then there is the situation around right-back Alex Jimenez. After his suspension by the club, it remains to be seen whether he has a long-term future on the south coast. Brentford Brentford are looking to freshen their squad in a variety of positions and have already signed the young centre-back Jannik Schuster from Red Bull Salzburg. Two positions that have proved elusive in the last few windows - left wing and central midfield - are now the priorities, and they have recently tried for winger Said El Mala at FC Koln. That reached an impasse after his family requested Brentford also sign his older brother, so the Bees are now looking at other targets. One of those is thought to be
