Premier League Summer Transfers 2026: Every Confirmed Deal, the Biggest Moves, and How Squads Are Changing
Sandro Tonali's £100m Spurs switch. Johan Manzambi's £50m+ Villa arrival. Christos Tzolis to Arsenal. Alejandro Garnacho crossing London on loan. The 2026 summer window is reshaping the Premier League — here's every confirmed deal, club by club, and what it all means.
The Headline Moves
Four weeks into the window and the £100 million barrier has already been broken. Newcastle's Sandro Tonali is now a Tottenham player — a deal that shifts the midfield balance in North London and leaves Eddie Howe searching for a replacement with the season three weeks away. Across town, Arsenal finally addressed their forward line with Christos Tzolis arriving from Club Brugge for £34m, a transfer that had been simmering since June. And Aston Villa, flush with Champions League revenue, dropped over £50m on Freiburg's Johan Manzambi — the largest fee in Villa's history.
Club-by-Club: Every Confirmed Deal
All deals confirmed as of July 24, 2026. Sorted by total spend. Loan fees not publicly disclosed are marked as N/A.
Arsenal
In: Christos Tzolis (Club Brugge, £34m)
Out: None confirmed
Net spend: £34m
The Gunners have been disciplined — one signing, one need addressed. A striker was the priority and Tzolis ticks every box on Arteta's list: young, proven in Europe, tactically flexible. Don't rule out a late-window move for a defensive midfielder — Thomas Partey turned 33 in June and Declan Rice can't play 60 games alone.
Aston Villa
In: Johan Manzambi (Freiburg, £50m+), Alejandro Garnacho (Chelsea, Loan)
Out: None confirmed
Net spend: £50m+
Villa are building something real. Manzambi and Garnacho give Emery two elite wide-forward options — and Garnacho's loan from Chelsea includes what sources describe as a "substantial" option to buy. The Argentine winger fell out of favour at Stamford Bridge after Morgan Rogers' arrival pushed him down the pecking order, but at Villa he walks into the starting XI. Champions League football was the clincher.
Chelsea
In: Harrison Bettoni (Wigan, Free), Melvine Malard (Man Utd Women, £850k)
Out: Alejandro Garnacho (Aston Villa, Loan), Tyrique George (Everton, £24m)
Net spend: -£23.15m (profit)
Chelsea are in profit — genuinely. Garnacho's loan exit raised eyebrows but the numbers are staggering: the reported €200m transfer domino involving Morgan Rogers, Nicolas Jackson, and Ollie Watkins could see Chelsea shed another £150m+ in wages and fees before Deadline Day. Tyrique George's £24m move to Everton is pure FFP profit (academy product). Bettoni is a low-risk free from Wigan — one for the loan army, not the first team. This is Chelsea doing what Chelsea do: churn, reshuffle, balance the books.
Everton
In: Tyrique George (Chelsea, £24m), Hannah Blundell (Man Utd Women, Free)
Out: None confirmed
Net spend: £24m
David Moyes convinced George to trade Stamford Bridge for Goodison Park — a coup for a club that finished 15th last season. The 21-year-old winger scored 4 goals in limited Chelsea appearances; at Everton he'll be the attacking focal point. The £24m fee is Everton's largest outlay since Amadou Onana in 2022.
Leeds United
In: Tarik Muharemovic (Sassuolo, £34.1m)
Out: None confirmed
Net spend: £34.1m
Leeds' first summer back in the Premier League and they're spending like a club that doesn't want a repeat of 2022-23. Muharemovic, a Bosnia & Herzegovina international centre-back, was wanted by Juventus and Borussia Dortmund — Leeds won the race with a £34.1m bid and the promise of guaranteed starts. At 23, he's a long-term investment in defence. Expect more incomings before the window shuts.
Manchester United
In: Tynan Thompson (Tottenham, £8m)
Out: Melvine Malard (Chelsea Women, £850k)
Net spend: £7.15m
A quiet window so far at Old Trafford — unusually quiet. Thompson, a 19-year-old prospect from Spurs' academy, is one for the future rather than the first XI. United have been linked with Ismaila Sarr (Crystal Palace), Manu Koné (Bayern Munich), and Martin Baturina (Dinamo Zagreb), but none have crossed the line. The Tonali-to-Spurs deal — and the £100m Newcastle now have to spend — could trigger a chain reaction that forces United's hand.
Newcastle United
In: Bazoumana Touré (Hoffenheim, £43m), Xaver Schlager (RB Leipzig, Free)
Out: Sandro Tonali (Tottenham, £100m), Matt Targett (Hull City, Free)
Net spend: -£57m (profit)
Newcastle sold their best midfielder and still turned a £57m profit. Touré is a different profile to Tonali — less metronomic, more explosive, with a engine that covers every blade of grass. Schlager on a free is smart business: 29 years old, 42 Austria caps, Champions League experience with Leipzig. Eddie Howe has £57m in his pocket and three weeks to spend it. A striker, a centre-back, and another midfielder are on the shopping list.
Tottenham Hotspur
In: Sandro Tonali (Newcastle, £100m)
Out: Tynan Thompson (Man Utd, £8m)
Net spend: £92m
Spurs went big. Really big. Tonali is the kind of signing that signals intent — not just top four, but a title conversation. Postecoglou's system demands a midfielder who can receive under pressure, turn, and play forward in one motion; Tonali does exactly that. The question is whether Spurs are done. A centre-back partner for Cristian Romero remains the glaring gap, and the £92m net spend suggests room for at least one more major acquisition.

Other Notable Deals
Xaver Schlager (RB Leipzig → Nottingham Forest, Free) — Forest continue their smart recruitment under Nuno Espírito Santo. Schlager brings 200+ Bundesliga appearances and Champions League pedigree to the City Ground on a free transfer. At 29, he's in his prime and cost nothing but wages.
Matt Targett (Newcastle → Hull City, Free) — A fall from grace. Targett was Newcastle's first-choice left-back two seasons ago; now he's dropping to the Championship on a free. Hull are getting a player with 150+ Premier League appearances at a bargain.
Melvine Malard (Man Utd Women → Chelsea Women, £850,000) — The biggest WSL deal of the window so far. Malard scored 9 goals for United last season; Chelsea see her as the successor to Sam Kerr in the long term.
What's Still to Come
The window doesn't close until late August — and the biggest deals may not have broken yet. Newcastle's £57m profit gives them ammunition. Manchester United need at least three signings to close the gap. Liverpool have been conspicuously quiet. And the £100m Tonali deal could be just the first domino — Morgan Rogers' potential Chelsea exit could trigger a £150m+ chain involving three clubs and four forwards.
