Premier League Clubs Circle Transfer Targets as Summer Window Looms
LONDON – A flurry of potential moves is taking shape across the premier League, with several high-profile players attracting significant interest from top clubs. From a possible permanent deal for jadon sancho to a fierce battle for emerging talent,the summer transfer window promises to be a busy period for England’s elite.
The upcoming window is critical for clubs aiming to bolster their squads ahead of the 2024-25 season. Aston Villa are reportedly prioritizing a permanent transfer for Sancho, currently on loan from Manchester United, while Chelsea are exploring options to strengthen their defense. Meanwhile, Arsenal and Chelsea are both linked with aspiring moves for highly-rated players from abroad, signaling intent to compete at the highest level.
Arsenal have initiated contact with 20-year-old Turkey forward Kenan Yildiz, currently at Juventus. However, the Italian club is demanding a substantial fee, valuing Yildiz between 80-100 million euros (£70-87m), having previously rebuffed an offer from Chelsea during the previous transfer window.
Chelsea are also targeting Ismael Doukoure, a 22-year-old French defender who plays for Strasbourg – a club under the same ownership as the Blues through BlueCo. Several other Premier League teams are also monitoring Doukoure’s situation, intensifying the competition for his signature.
Elsewhere, Aston Villa are considering turning Jadon Sancho’s loan into a permanent deal. The 25-year-old England forward has been revitalized during his time at Villa Park, prompting the club to explore a long-term commitment.
Though not directly mentioned in the source, Crystal Palace winger michael Olise continues to be a subject of speculation, with reports suggesting several top clubs are monitoring his progress. Manchester United’s young midfielder Kobbie Mainoo is also attracting attention, though no concrete offers have yet emerged.
