The Premier League season is set to kick off tonight with Chelsea taking on Liverpool, but clubs still have until the end of the month to get their key signings over the line. 

There have already been some major deals done so far with Arsenal signing Declan Rice, Man United securing goalkeeper Andre Onana and Man City bringing in Josko Gvardiol.

There are a number of huge deals that could still happen – including Liverpool’s bid to secure Brighton midfielder Moises Caicedo and Bayern Munich‘s attempt to bring Harry Kane to Bavaria. 

There’s also question marks over the future of Harry Maguire as he mulls over a £30m move from United to West Ham.

The start of the season across Europe’s top five leagues is rapidly approaching – but many managers remain short of players they are after in a bid to deliver success.

The new Premier League season is just a few days away now and clubs are scrambling to get more deals over the line ahead of the big kick-off.

The Harry Kane transfer saga could be heading for a conclusion with the striker setting Bayern Munich a deadline of Sunday to raise their £86million offer or he’ll commit to Tottenham for the season.

Meanwhile, as our Transfer Confidential column revealed on Monday, Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino wants four new arrivals before the window shuts.  

With several deals this summer reliant on one another it’s shaping up to be a very intriguing close to the window.
