Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United will be desperate to bring in new faces when the summer transfer window opens as the three clubs look to topple Manchester City at the top of the Premier League table.

The Gunners came close to winning top-flight silverware last season after racking up 28 wins, but were thwarted by the Citizens on the final day of the campaign.

Liverpool will have a new boost under new boss Arne Slot when the new season kicks off, while the Red Devils will need to close a 31-point gap if they are to compete for honours.

Chelsea are another team with a new manager at the helm after Enzo Maresca replaced Mauricio Pochettino.

And the Blues look set to secure their first signing of the summer after defender Tosin Adarabioyo reportedly put pen to paper on a four-year deal at Stamford Bridge on Thursday.

Meanwhile, Pep Guardiola’s side will be unwilling to sit still despite winning four Premier League titles and will be looking to build on their momentum in what could be their manager’s final campaign.

“I know it’s not the English or FA tradition to hire a foreign manager, but they have done it in the past with Sven-Goran Eriksson. So maybe someone with a different view from the outside, because I really feel that England are not far from winning something.

“I would like to see Jurgen Klopp. Guys like this say, “I’m going to take a year out.” But it’s a lie. After two or three months they will get bored.”

Man Utd got the green light

“I would say (the Premier League) is a destination I can see myself going to in the future. If it’s a dream, I don’t know. But it’s a goal for me to play in the Premier League one day.”
