What does your Premier League club still need in the transfer window?

What the report says

BBC Sport published a club-by-club guide to what Premier League teams still need to do before the summer transfer window closes on Tuesday, 1 September at 23:00 BST. The piece comes after the first weekend of league matches, which the outlet said has already given managers a clearer sense of where squads are thin, where departures may still happen and which positions need urgent cover.

The article focuses on a range of teams and their likely priorities. Arsenal are said to be targeting a forward, with long-term interest in Julian Alvarez noted. Aston Villa may need replacements if Ollie Watkins leaves, alongside a winger and a defender, while Bournemouth are mostly expected to hold on to key players rather than buy heavily. Brentford appear more settled, though a left-back or another attacking option could still be considered.

BBC Sport also said Brighton may need to react to possible exits, including reported interest in Yankuba Minteh and Carlos Baleba, by adding midfield and forward depth. Chelsea’s main task is described as trimming a very large squad, even if they also explore a goalkeeper or another attacking player. Crystal Palace are looking for defensive reinforcements after injuries and recent change, while Everton are portrayed as urgently needing a specialist right-back.

Overall, the report suggests that the final week of the window will be shaped as much by outgoings as by new signings, with several clubs balancing immediate squad needs against financial and squad-size limits.
