A transfer target for every Premier League club in the summer: part one | Premier League

Arsenal: Leroy Sané

With David Raya making his loan from Brentford permanent, Riccardo Calafiori arrives from Bolognaand Mikel Merino's arrival is expected Following a move from Real Sociedad shortly, Arsenal should now focus on strengthening their attack. They have been linked with Pedro Neto and Nico Williams but should target Leroy Sane. Mikel Arteta worked with Sane during their time together at Manchester City and the German's versatility in attack would appeal to the Arsenal manager. The 28-year-old finished second for assists (11), ninth for key passes (72) and first for dribbles (93) in the Bundesliga last season.

Aston Villa: Joao Felix

Aston Villa have been This summer the transfer market is very busy But Moussa Diaby's departure to Al-Ittihad leaves a gap in their forward line. Given the extra workload that comes with playing in the Champions League, Unai Emery will not want Villa to be short of options in the attacking third. The manager needs a player who can play up front or behind Ollie Watkins. Joao Felix's career is at a crossroads following the end of his loan spell with Barcelona. The Portuguese international appears to have burned his bridges with Atletico Madrid, which could open the door to a move in the summer. Felix has Premier League experience from his six-month loan spell with Chelsea last year and, with Jhon Duran also linked with a move, the 24-year-old may see a move to Villa as the best way to resurrect his career.

Bournemouth: Cameron Archer

Bournemouth have already made a couple of notable signings this summer, signing Enes Unal permanently and bringing in promising centre-back Dean Huijsen from Juventus. They have a well-balanced squad under Andoni Iraola and usually only go into the market to replace players who leave. With question marks over Dominic Solanke's future (he has been linked with Tottenham), Bournemouth could be looking for another striker. Cameron Archer could be the candidate. The 22-year-old has only just returned to Aston Villa after a year at Sheffield United, but they may be open to offers.

Brentford: Arthur Cabral

In February, Brentford announced that Igor Thiago is set to join them this summer from Club Brugge for a club-record £30m.However, disaster struck in pre-season when Thiago suffered a meniscus injury that required surgery and will keep him out of action for the next few months. With Neal Maupay returning to Everton after his loan spell and Ivan Toney linked with an exit, Brentford may make a short-term move for a new striker this month. Brazilian forward Arthur Cabral could be a good option. He was Fiorentina’s top scorer in the 2022-23 season before joining Benfica last summer. The Portuguese club have signed Vangelis Pavlidis this year, so Cabral may find it harder to get game time. An exit could benefit both the player and the club.

Brighton: Ferdi Kadioglu

With Pervis Estupinan ruled out until the end of this year with an ankle injury, Brighton could explore the possibility of signing another left-back. Turkish star Ferdi Kadioglu is believed to be in the club's sights and for good reason. Kadioglu was one of Turkey's stars at Euro 2024, following an impressive Super Lig campaign in fine style. Fenerbahce will be reluctant to lose the 24-year-old and will demand a hefty fee. Manchester United and Arsenal have previously been linked with a move for the versatile full-back, who would prove a welcome addition for Brighton if they can convince Fenerbahce to sell him.

Chelsea: Samu Omorodion

With Conor Gallagher on his way to Atlético de Madrid – a move unlikely to go down well with Chelsea supporters – Samu Omorodion could now be heading in the opposite direction. The 20-year-old, who is currently representing his country at the Olympics, was linked with a move to Stamford Bridge earlier this summer and Chelsea will hope Atleti are now more interested in selling him. The powerful striker scored more counter-attacking goals (four) than any other player in La Liga last season. To put that into context, Chelsea scored three goals in the Premier League. Could he be the answer to their long-standing striker conundrum?

Crystal Palace: Maxence Lacroix

Crystal Palace have several highly sought-after players in their squad. Michael Olise has already left for Bayern Munich, while Eberechi Eze and Marc Guehi are both being sought by Premier League sides. If Guehi does sign for Newcastle, who are confident of signing him for around 60 million poundsPalace are likely to be in the market for a new centre-back. French defender Maxence Lacroix, who has just one year left on his contract at Wolfsburg, could be a smart signing, especially as the German club will not want to lose him for free next year. Lacroix is ​​capable of coming out of defence and finding a team-mate from distance, so could prove a shrewd replacement for Guehi if he leaves.

Everton: Kalvin Phillips

There's a gaping Amadou Onana-shaped hole in Everton's midfield after… His move to Aston Villa Tim Iroegbunam has already gone in the opposite direction, swapping Villa Park for Goodison Park last month, but Everton need more experience in the centre of midfield. Kalvin Phillips struggled during his loan spell at West Ham in the second half of last season, but the former Leeds man would be a useful addition for Everton. He is an effective ball-winner who has the skills to thrive in a Sean Dyche team. Crucially, he needs to rebuild his reputation and try to regain his place in England.

Fulham: André

Just as Everton lost a key midfielder in Onana, so did Fulham when Joao Palhinha left for Bayern Munich. Since then, Fulham have He spent a lot of money to sign Emile Smith Rowe from Arsenal But they need to add someone else in midfield to help move on from Palhinha. Brazilian player André has been on the radar of fans for some time, but a deal for the 23-year-old is yet to be finalised. The Fluminense midfielder is not an ideal replacement for Palhinha, but he is not afraid of getting into trouble, as evidenced by his average of 2.2 tackles per 90 minutes in the Brasileirão this season. André is also impressive on the ball, boasting the best passing success rate in the division (94.5%).

Ipswich Town: Jack Clarke

Ipswich have been active this summer but may not be done yet, especially now that Nathan Broadhead has suffered a hamstring injury that will keep him out for the start of the season. Thankfully, the Welsh striker won't need surgery but he will need some time to recover. Broadhead was key in Ipswich's promotion campaign and his absence is a blow. Jack Clarke excelled for Sunderland last season despite his disappointing campaign – he scored 15 goals and completed more dribbles (148) than any other player in the Championship.
