Premier League Completed Transfers (2024/25)

The 2024/25 Premier League season is expected to see another titanic title clash between Manchester City and Arsenal. The Citizens secured a record-breaking fourth title and narrowly pipped the Gunners to the crown in May 2024, beating West Ham on the final day of the season. However, that’s not guaranteed again.

Naturally, all 20 teams in the division will be aiming to strengthen their squads so that they can meet their objectives. The clubs at the bottom of the table will want to add experience so they can try and avoid a relegation battle. Ipswich, who are in the Premier League for the first time since 2002, are the epitome of that, whilst the regular sides such as Everton and Wolves will also need to do the same.

The summer transfer window is always full of chaos. Every team is always linked to new signings, making it hard to keep track of what is truly happening. “Here we go,” will be heard one day; the next, and you’ll hear that the move has broken down, such is the reality of modern football. We have outlined every confirmed transfer for each club to make your life easier as the return of the Premier League nears closer.

Arsenal

Arsenal have now had two disappointing endings to the season in a row. Last campaign, they hardly did much wrong, but a 2-0 defeat at home to Aston Villa at the start of the run-in proved pivotal; it cost them the title. They’ll want to strengthen in the summer to avoid another trophyless season as Mikel Arteta’s side continues to evolve. Gabriel Jesus is rumoured to be leaving after struggling to find the back of the net, whilst Thomas Partey could also depart the club. The Gunners are linked with several high-profile strikers to replace Jesus.

Aston Villa

Aston Villa have never played in the Champions League since it was rebranded in 1992, but they did win it in 1982. However, after Unai Emery’s masterplan, they finally qualified for the tournament last campaign. They have already made big moves so far this summer after signing Everton’s Amadou Onana for £50m plus add-ons and sell-on clause.

Douglas Luiz’s exit to Juventus saw Samuel Iling-Junior and Enzo Barrenechea move in the opposite direction to Villa Park, while Emery’s side also snapped up Lewis Dobbin from Everton and Ross Barkley from Luton to bolster their ranks further. Jaden Philogene also returned to Villa after agreeing a matching rights clause with Hull City.

Bournemouth

Bournemouth were one of the most improved teams during last season. They shocked fans by sacking Gary O’Neil in the summer of 2023, but they replaced him with Spaniard Andoni Iraola. It turned out to be a stroke of genius from those involved. After a remarkable season from Dominic Solanke, the Cherries will want to push on. They’ve already confirmed the permanent signings of Luis Sinisterra and Enes Unal from Leeds and Getafe respectively, whilst Lloyd Kelly has left to join Newcastle. Expect several more names through the door.

Brentford

Brentford struggled last campaign after missing Ivan Toney for the first six months, but – even when he returned – they weren’t much better. They avoided a relegation battle, yet they will want to improve. Igor Thiago will permanently join the club this summer for a record transfer fee after scoring 18 goals in 34 matches for Club Brugge. The Brazilian will likely replace Toney, who has repeatedly talked about leaving the Bees.

Brighton

Brighton separated ways with Roberto De Zerbi at the end of the season, leaving them without one of the best managers in the division. They are yet to appoint a replacement, and they will also have to find someone capable of filling Adam Lallana’s boots in the middle of the park. But it’s not all bad news for the Seagulls, with Ibrahim Osman joining permanently from Nordsjaelland for over £15m. He joins as a pacey winger who will leave defenders fearing for their lives. Meanwhile, Brighton also took advantage of Newcastle’s precarious PSR position by signing one of their bright young talents in Yankuba Minteh.

Chelsea

Chelsea shocked everyone by departing with Mauricio Pochettino at the end of the season, just as performances and results improved, replacing him with Enzo Maresca. It presents another new era for the Blues, who will also have to find someone capable of filling in for Thiago Silva’s experience at the back. Lewis Hall is joining Newcastle permanently, whilst they are linked with moves for Premier League stars like Eberechi Eze. The Blues have been busy already in these early few weeks of the transfer window, signing Tosin Adarabioyo, Estevao Willian, Omari Kellyman and Marc Guiu while they have offloaded two exciting prospects in Ian Maatsen and Omari Hutchinson to rival Premier League clubs.

Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace have one of the most exciting squads in the league. After Roy Hodgson departed, the shackles were set free — and Oliver Glasner allowed the Eagles to play with freedom and passion. In the process, they became one of the most entertaining sides, consistently scoring against some of the best teams. Eze and Olise formed a formidable partnership in the final third, Marc Guehi provided composure at the back and Adam Wharton quickly became known as one of England’s best midfielders as travelled to Euro 2024. The question was always whether they would be able to keep any of them at the club — but Olise has already joined Bayern Munich.

Everton

Despite being deducted eight points during the 2023/24 campaign, Everton stayed up comfortably, as Sean Dyche reinverted a team full of belief at Goodison Park. They are going into their final season at Goodison Park, which will see them desperate to avoid being dragged into a relegation battle. However, that might depend on Jarrad Branthwaite’s future. The English centre-back is linked with a move to Manchester United. On the incomings front, they will want to reinforce across the pitch.

Out

Fulham

Fulham used to be known as a ‘yo-yo’ club, consistently switching between the Premier League and the Championship. However, under Marco Silva in recent years, the West London side have found some much-needed stability. They were comfortably midtable last season as Rodrigo Muniz found a remarkable spell of form which no one truly knew he had in his locker. However, because of that form, he is now linked with a move away. If Fulham are capable of keeping him and Joao Palhinha at the club, they can look to continue to improve on and off the pitch.

Ipswich

Ipswich secured back-to-back promotions to reach the Premier League for the first time since 2002. They were one of the most exciting teams in England, yet several of the players who helped them achieve their goal have returned to their parent clubs. The Tractor Boys have however, managed to snap up Omari Hutchinson, who was such an integral player in their promotion push last season. Getting a deal done with Chelsea however has ensured one of Kieran McKenna’s main players will remain at the club and potentially fire them to safety.

Liam Delap was one of McKenna’s first significant pieces of business after arriving from Manchester City for £20m. They also secured the services of goalkeeper Arijanet Muric from Burnley, paying an initial £10m fee up front and putting pen to paper on a four-year deal.

Leicester

At Christmas, it seemed all but guaranteed that Leicester would be promoted back to the Premier League, but – after a run of poor form – they only secured an immediate return in the final few weeks. To make matters worse, manager Maresca has jumped ship to Chelsea, whilst they could receive a points deduction for breaking Financial Fair Play. It’s going to be a challenge for the Foxes, and their PSR position has meant Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall’s future has looked pretty bleak, with a move to Chelsea going through.

Liverpool

The end of the 2023/24 campaign marked the end of an era at Anfield. Jurgen Klopp and his backroom staff left with an emotional farewell, which was hardly surprising considering he is one of their greatest managers ever, whilst Thiago and Joel Matip also confirmed their departures. New manager Arne Slot will have to oversee a transition as they look to bring in a new defender and a midfielder at the minimum. Question marks remain around Mohamed Salah’s future, but he is currently expected to stay at the club.

Manchester City

Manchester City go into the new season dreaming of a fifth Premier League title in a row — a feat no club has ever done. It is expected to be Pep Guardiola’s final campaign in charge, so they will want to end on a high. So far, Taylor Harwood-Bellis and Tommy Doyle, two academy graduates, have left the club to join Southampton and Wolves respectively. Goalkeeper Ederson is linked with a move away, whilst you can never rule out any signing at the Etihad due to their financial power.

Manchester United

Manchester United saved last season’s campaign by beating bitter rivals Man City in the FA Cup Final 2-1. It secured Europa League qualification after finishing just eighth in the league. Raphael Varane, one of the greatest defenders of all time, has left the club on a free transfer, just as Anthony Martial has. Casemiro is linked with a major move away to Saudi Arabia, whilst Jadon Sancho is expected to leave.

Nevertheless, the Red Devils are not wasting any time in the transfer market. Erik Ten Tag’s side agreed on a £52m fee with Lille to sign the 18-year-old centre-back Leny Yoro to fill the void left by Varane. Mason Greenwood also left the club to join Marseille.

Newcastle

Newcastle might technically be the richest club in the world, but they are severely limited during this transfer window. Due to FFP, they might be forced to sell to buy, leaving the future of Alexander Isak and Bruno Guimaraes in doubt. Both are highly admired by clubs across the world, with Arsenal reportedly interested in the Swedish forward. After missing out on European qualification, the Magpies will want to keep all their players to improve, but that is not guaranteed.

Nottingham Forest

Last season, Nottingham Forest were given a four-point deduction for failing to meet FFP standards. Naturally, this limits them in the transfer window as they try to avoid a repeat. Morgan Gibbs-White could be forced to leave, with Tottenham interested, if they need to generate funds. Remo Freuler and several others have already left the City Ground for opportunities elsewhere, whilst Nuno Espirito Santo might be forced to think outside the box to improve the squad technically.

Southampton

Southampton beat Leeds 1-0 in the play-off final to confirm promotion back to the Premier League. Financially, it proved to be a lifesaver, allowing them to go into the transfer window without selling their key players. Flynn Downes secured a permanent move to St Mary’s after a successful promotion spell in the Championship during the 2023/24 campaign.

They will still be linked away, including Kyle Walker-Peters as Spurs search for a new full-back, but they have more security. Taylor Harwood-Bellis shone for them in the second tier and his loan has been made permanent after securing promotion. They will look to continue to invest to help Russell Martin shine in the world’s most competitive league.

Tottenham

Tottenham performed impressively during the post-Harry Kane era, but now the challenge is about continuing to improve. Timo Werner, who originally joined on loan from RB Leipzig, has had his loan extended for next season, whilst Lucas Bergvall, one of the best teenage youngsters in the world, is set to link up with the club. They are interested in signing Eberechi Eze from Crystal Palace as well as a defensive midfielder. Yves Bissouma, Richarlison and several others have all been linked with moves away from the club. Ange Postecoglou’s side also fended off significant competition from domestic rivals and abroad to snap up one of the game’s most exciting youngsters in Archie Gray from Leeds.

In

Out

West Ham

In East London, Julen Lopetegui has replaced David Moyes as manager, signalling the start of a new era for the Hammers. West Ham are without European football, but they will be determined to make sure that only lasts one year. Kalvin Phillips will not be staying at the club permanently after an underwhelming loan spell, whilst Thilo Kehrer has joined Monaco. Jarrod Bowen’s future is in doubt, but they are linked with several youngsters, including Brazilian wonderkid Luis Guilherme, who is close to completion.

In

Out

Wolves

Wolves proved to be a thorn for several Premier League sides last campaign. Their rigidness, determination and threat on the counter-attack caught many teams by surprise, as a side taken over by manager O’Neil proved there is more than one way to play football. The challenge for them is maintaining that stability for another year. To help with that, Tommy Doyle has joined the club permanently, whilst Pedro Neto currently remains at Molineux. However, the Portuguese international is linked with a move away after impressing with 11 goal contributions in 20 matches.
