Premier League Summer Transfers 2026-27: Every Confirmed Deal So Far
The World Cup took over our screens for a month. While every neutral on the planet watched Spain lift the trophy at MetLife, Premier League sporting directors were glued to their phones. The transfer window opened June 15 and closes September 1 — and some clubs have already done enough business to fill an entire summer.
Tottenham have splashed £230 million on three players. Liverpool lost Mohamed Salah on a free transfer and spent £89.5m rebuilding the front line. Manchester City broke the bank for a midfielder. Arsenal paid £34m for a winger who scored six goals last season. And Manchester United — well, the clear-out at Old Trafford has been more dramatic than anything on the pitch.
Here's every confirmed Premier League deal for summer 2026, club by club.
📅 Key Window Dates:
• Opened: June 15, 2026
• Closes: September 1, 2026 (11pm BST)
• Season starts: August 21, 2026
🔴 The Heavy Hitters: Biggest Moves of the Summer
💰 Elliot Anderson → Manchester City (£80m+)
The former Nottingham Forest midfielder had been on City's radar since January. Guardiola got his man — a ball-carrying, press-resistant engine who fits the City midfield template like a glove. Anderson turned 23 last season and posted numbers that put him in the top 5% of Premier League midfielders for progressive carries. City don't miss often in this price bracket.
💰 Mateus Fernandes + Sandro Tonali + Jan Paul van Hecke → Tottenham (£230m combined)
Robert De Zerbi is wasting no time. Spurs have been the window's biggest spenders by a mile — Fernandes (Sporting's creative engine), Tonali (the deep-lying metronome Newcastle reluctantly sold), and Van Hecke (Brighton's ball-playing centre-back). Three players, three spine positions, no messing around. The Europa League win clearly loosened Daniel Levy's purse strings.
💰 Jeremy Jacquet → Liverpool (£55m)
The Rennes centre-back arrives at Anfield with the unenviable job of replacing Ibrahima Konaté, who walked to Real Madrid on a free. Jacquet is 21, 6'4", and comfortable stepping into midfield. Liverpool also added Victor Munoz from Osasuna for £34.5m — a left-footed forward who scored 14 La Liga goals last season.
💰 Christos Tzolis → Arsenal (£34m)
The Greek international caught Arteta's eye at Club Brugge. Six goals in the Belgian Pro League doesn't scream "£34m signing," but Arsenal's data team flagged his pressing numbers and chance creation as elite. He's expected to compete with Martinelli on the left flank. A gamble, but Arsenal's recruitment under Arteta has earned the benefit of the doubt.
📋 Club-by-Club: Every Confirmed Deal
🔴 Arsenal
- IN Christos Tzolis — Club Brugge£34m
Quiet window so far. Expect more movement as the Community Shield approaches.
🟣 Aston Villa
- LOAN Alejandro Garnacho — ChelseaLoan
- OUT Youri Tielemans — Manchester United—
🍒 Bournemouth
No major deals confirmed yet. The Cherries are shopping in Austria during their pre-season camp.
🐝 Brentford
Quiet window. Thomas Frank's squad is largely intact from last season's comfortable mid-table finish.
🕊️ Brighton
- OUT Jan Paul van Hecke — TottenhamPart of £230m package
🔵 Chelsea
- IN Harrison Bettoni — WiganFree
- OUT Andrey Santos — Manchester United—
- LOAN Alejandro Garnacho — Aston VillaLoan
The Clearlake strategy continues: buy youth, loan surplus, sell when valuation peaks. Bettoni is a 19-year-old defender — the latest "future asset."
🦅 Crystal Palace
No major ins or outs confirmed. Glasner is keeping the core that finished 11th in 2025-26.
🔵 Everton
Silence from Goodison. The Friedkin Group promised ambition but the chequebook hasn't opened yet.
⚪ Fulham
No confirmed deals. Marco Silva's squad needs a striker — and everyone knows it.
🐯 Hull City
- IN Matt Targett — NewcastleFree
🔵 Ipswich Town
Promoted via the playoffs. Expect late-window business — the Tractor Boys need reinforcements everywhere.
⚪ Leeds United
- IN Karl Darlow — Manchester UnitedFree
🔴 Liverpool
- IN Jeremy Jacquet — Stade Rennais£55m
- IN Victor Munoz — Osasuna£34.5m
- OUT Mohamed Salah — ReleasedFree
- OUT Ibrahima Konaté — Real MadridFree
- OUT Andy Robertson — TottenhamFree
Losing Salah, Konaté, and Robertson in one window without a penny coming in is brutal. The £89.5m spend on Jacquet and Munoz looks reactive rather than planned. The Reds will need more.
🔵 Manchester City
- IN Elliot Anderson — Nottingham Forest£80m+
- IN Jeremy Monga — Leicester City—
- IN Pierce Charles — Sheffield Wednesday—
- OUT Bernardo Silva — ReleasedFree
- OUT John Stones — ReleasedFree
- OUT Nathan Aké — Fenerbahçe—
🔴 Manchester United
- IN Andrey Santos — Chelsea—
- IN Youri Tielemans — Aston Villa—
- IN Tynan Thompson — Tottenham—
- OUT André Onana — TrabzonsporLoan
- OUT Rasmus Højlund — Napoli—
- OUT Casemiro — ReleasedFree
- OUT Jadon Sancho — ReleasedFree
- OUT Tyrell Malacia — ReleasedFree
Michael Carrick is clearing house. Casemiro, Sancho, Malacia — all gone. Højlund shipped to Napoli. Onana parked in Turkey. This is a reset, not a rebuild. Whether it works depends on who replaces them.
⚫ Newcastle United
- OUT Sandro Tonali — Tottenham£60m (est.)
- OUT Matt Targett — Hull CityFree
Selling Tonali stings. The Italian never quite fit Howe's system, but the £60m+ should fund replacements. Newcastle's PSR tightrope walk continues.
🔴 Nottingham Forest
- IN Xaver Schlager — RB LeipzigFree
- OUT Elliot Anderson — Manchester City£80m+
Losing Anderson is a blow but £80m+ is generational money for Forest. Schlager on a free is savvy business — the Austrian brings Champions League experience and bite in midfield.
⚪ Tottenham Hotspur
- IN Mateus Fernandes — Sporting CP£90m (est.)
- IN Sandro Tonali — Newcastle£60m (est.)
- IN Jan Paul van Hecke — Brighton£80m (est.)
- IN Andy Robertson — LiverpoolFree
- OUT Tynan Thompson — Manchester United—
De Zerbi's first summer at the helm and he's not holding back. £230m on three spine players — all of them 25 or under. If this clicks, Spurs are a genuine top-four threat. If it doesn't, Levy will have some explaining to do.
🔴 Sunderland
No confirmed deals. The Black Cats are focused on their US preseason tour — three friendlies against Liverpool, Leeds, and Wrexham.
Want to see how these new signings perform in preseason? Tottenham's £230m trio, Liverpool's new attack, and Arsenal's Greek gamble — all in action before August 21.

🔥 Three Storylines That Matter
1. Tottenham Are Going For It
£230m. That's not "strengthen the squad" money — that's "we want the top four" money. De Zerbi's Brighton punched above their weight with intelligent recruitment. Now he has a chairman willing to back him. Fernandes-Tonali-Van Hecke is a midfield-to-defence axis that rivals any in the league on paper. The question is how fast they gel. Spurs open the season on August 21 — that gives De Zerbi less than a month.
2. Liverpool's Summer of Loss
Three starters walked out of Anfield for nothing. Salah — the club's all-time Premier League scorer. Konaté — a World Cup winner at 27, entering his prime. Robertson — eight years of service, gone on a free to a rival. Arne Slot's rebuild needed to be bold and it needed to be fast. Jacquet and Munoz are interesting prospects, but replacing three world-class players with two signings under 22 feels like a net loss. The Reds need at least two more faces before the window shuts.
3. Manchester United's Clear-Out Is Brutal — And Necessary
Casemiro, Sancho, Malacia, Højlund, Onana. All gone. Carrick has drawn a line under the Ten Hag era's messy squad building and started fresh. Andrey Santos is a genuine prospect — the Brazilian looked sharp in his cameo against Wrexham in Helsinki. Tielemans on a free is tidy business. But the Red Devils are noticeably light up front — Højlund's departure leaves a hole that hasn't been filled. If United enter the season without a proper number nine, Carrick's rebuild will look more like self-sabotage.
⏳ What's Still to Come
The window runs until September 1. That's 39 days of potential chaos. Expect movement at:
Arsenal — Arteta wants a midfielder. Martin Zubimendi's name won't go away. Manchester City — losing Bernardo and Stones frees up wages. A marquee attacker would not surprise. Chelsea — quiet so far, which is suspicious. The Clearlake model depends on churn. Liverpool — surely not done. One forward and one centre-back isn't enough when three starters walk.
And then there's the promoted sides. Ipswich, Sunderland, and Hull City have a combined one signing between them (Targett to Hull on a free). That needs to change fast — the jump from the Championship is brutal without reinforcements.
See every new signing in action. Preseason friendlies are the only place to judge whether these moves are genius or madness — and most of them aren't on TV.
