Diego Leon (Manchester United)
August 2025
New signing Leon has quickly become a popular figure among teammates despite his youth and language barrier. The 18-year-old Paraguayan has been embraced by senior players, aided by Spanish speakers, and featured in pre-season as he adapts to England.
Jacob Ramsey (Aston Villa)
August 2025
Newcastle are set to sign Aston Villa’s Ramsey for £38m, making him their fourth major arrival of the summer. Eddie Howe, a long-time admirer, pushed for the deal after a failed earlier bid, with the 24-year-old expected to sign a long-term contract.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin (Leeds United)
August 2025
Leeds have signed Calvert-Lewin after his Everton contract expired, adding Premier League experience to Daniel Farke’s squad for their top-flight return. The 28-year-old turned down a new Everton deal, leaving after 71 goals in 274 games, despite an injury-hit final season.
James Maddison (Tottenham)
August 2025
Maddison suffered an ACL injury in a friendly vs Newcastle, ruling him out for most of the season, including the Super Cup, Premier League, Champions League, and World Cup year. The 28-year-old underwent successful surgery, thanked supporters for their messages, and vowed to return stronger despite the devastating timing.
Malick Thiaw (AC Milan > Newcastle)
August 2025
Newcastle secured Thiaw for £30.3m plus add-ons, making him their second permanent signing after Elanga. The 24-year-old Germany defender strengthens a back line hit by Sven Botman’s injury and Lloyd Kelly’s departure, wearing the No.12 shirt.
Luis Enrique (PSG)
August 2025
Enrique confirmed he turned down Spurs’ managerial job before they appointed Ange Postecoglou, who later won the Europa League but was sacked. The Spaniard instead joined PSG, leading them to a historic treble including their first Champions League title, and his second career treble.
Yves Bissouma (Tottenham)
August 2025
New Spurs boss Thomas Frank axed Bissouma from the squad for repeated lateness, despite his key role in last season’s Europa League triumph. The 28-year-old had already faced discipline issues under Ange Postecoglou and now risks losing his spot, especially with Joao Palhinha joining on loan from Bayern Munich.
Tyler Adams (Bournemouth)
August 2025
Adams says last season’s limited return from long-term injury restored his confidence, and he’s targeting a full push this season after missing 47 games since joining in 2023. The 26-year-old enjoyed a strong pre-season, gained fresh insight with the USMNT under Mauricio Pochettino, and feels ready to push his development to the next level.
Victor Lindelof
August 2025
Bayer Leverkusen are in talks to sign free agent Lindelof, with Ten Hag personally making the pitch. Following Jonathan Tah’s exit, Leverkusen seek an experienced leader. Lindelof, 31, made 67 appearances under Ten Hag at Manchester United.
Jack Grealish (Manchester City)
August 2025
Grealish completed a medical ahead of a shock Everton move, sacrificing significant wages to revive his career before the 2026 World Cup. Limited to seven league starts last season, the midfielder was convinced by David Moyes that Everton can help him regain form. Option to buy set at £50m.
