Tottenham Hotspur have emerged as the most active club thus far, bolstering their squad with six new signings including Sandro Tonali, Mateus Fernandes, Jan Paul van Hecke, Andrew Robertson, Marcos Senesi and Martin Dubravka, signalling a clear intent to improve following a disappointing 2025-26 season under new manager Roberto De Zerbi.

Arsenal are in advanced negotiations for Newcastle United’s Bruno Guimaraes and Aston Villa’s Morgan Rogers, while Leeds United have secured Harry Wilson on a free transfer from Fulham. Liverpool have seen a move for Yan Diomande fall through, with the player preferring a transfer to Paris Saint-Germain, but have added Victor Munoz and Jeremy Jacquet to their squad.
Across La Liga, Barcelona have completed a significant deal, bringing in Anthony Gordon from Newcastle United for a fee of €80 million. Real Madrid have also been active, acquiring Marc Cucurella, Bernardo Silva, Ibrahima Konate and Denzel Dumfries.
