The Premier League clubs had a busy transfer window with significant moves, including Raheem Sterling's loan to Arsenal and Jadon Sancho's transfer to Chelsea. Ivan Toney left Brentford for Saudi Arabia's Al-Ahli in a £40 million deal, while Crystal Palace signed Eddie Nketiah from Arsenal for £30 million. Manchester City, despite their title win last season, made only two additions to their squad. Barcelona faced financial challenges, managing only two new signings, and Chelsea's unconventional transfer strategy saw them stockpile over 40 players. Arsenal, aiming to close the gap with Manchester City, strengthened their squad but still have gaps, especially in their forward line and goalkeeping department, to address.
