There is always a late surge in activity in the English Premier League transfer window and this summer will be no different.
Deals concluded over the coming days could have a major bearing on the season ahead, so it’s worth contemplating any potential moves before having any long-term Premier League bets via Paddy Power mobile or your chosen brand.
Joe Hart
Current club: Manchester City
Possible destination: Everton
After a disastrous showing for England at Euro 2016, Joe Hart found himself overlooked for Manchester City’s opening game of the Premier League campaign against Sunderland and their Champions League qualifier against Steaua Bucharest.
With Everton looking for a long-term successor to Tim Howard, a move to Goodison Park could suit all parties, particularly with Hart’s England place in jeopardy.
Shkodran Mustafi
Current club: Valencia
Possible destination: Arsenal
A 4-3 home defeat to Liverpool highlighted just how short of defensive options Arsenal are at present and emphasised the need to address the issue before the close of the transfer window.
Despite some rumours that the deal is dead, the name at the top of the Gunners wish-list would still appear to be Shkodran Mustafi.
Jose Fonte
Current club: Southampton
Possible destination: Manchester United
Jose Fonte is looking for a last big contract and having been a key member of Portugal’s successful Euro 2016 campaign, he’s now in a position to secure such a deal.
A move to the Manchester United is a distinct possibility, given that Jorge Mendes is the agent of both Fonte and Jose Mourinho and has plenty of previous when it comes to doing deals with the Red Devils.
Roberto Pereyra
Current club: Juventus
Possible destination: Watford
Argentinian attacking midfielder Roberto Pereyra was only a bit-part player for Juventus last season, so a move for the 25-year-old was always likely.
Watford will be well aware of Pereyra from his time at Udinese (the Pozzo family’s other club) and a fee of around £13 million should seal the deal, with the only issue being the terms of the contract.
RomeluLukaku
Current club: Everton
Possible destination: Chelsea
Signed by the Toffees from Chelsea for £28 million two years ago, it was widely believed that Everton had paid a premium for RomeluLukaku.  After a couple of prolific seasons on Merseyside and transfer fees spiralling ever higher, Everton are seeking well over double what they paid before they consider selling.
KalidouKoulibaly
Current club: Napoli
Possible destination: Chelsea
With John Terry being in the twilight of his career and Kurt Zouma still recovering from injury, Chelsea look short in central defence.
Senegal’s KalidouKoulibaly was a regular for Napoli last term, so a transfer fee somewhere north of £40 million will be required to secure the services of the 25-year-old.
Christian Benteke
Current club: Liverpool
Possible destination: Crystal Palace
Christian Benteke’s move to Liverpool for £32.5 million from Aston Villa last summer simply hasn’t worked out and he is clearly surplus to requirements.
Crystal Palace remain front-runners for the Belgian, despite having had two bids rejected. Â A third offer will surely be forthcoming.
Alexandre Lacazette
Current club: Lyon
Possible destination: Arsenal
A £30 million bid has already been rejected by Lyon for Alexandre Lacazette and a hat-trick on the opening day of the Ligue 1 season will only have increased their valuation of him.
Lacazette seems keen on a move though and with Arsenal in need of more firepower, this is a deal that could still be concluded before the end of the month.
Nemanja Nikolic
Current club: Legia Warsaw
Possible destination: Hull City
Rarely has a Premier League club been more in need of new recruits than Hull City, with at least half-a-dozen new players needed by the end of the month.
One player who would fit the bill is Legia Warsaw’s Nemanja Nikolic.  The Hungarian striker was top-goalscorer in the Polish Ekstraklasa last season with 28 goals.  At a reported £3 million, he would be a low-cost addition.
Marcelo Brozovic
Current club: Inter Milan
Possible destination: Stoke City
Midfielder Marcelo Brozovic seems certain to leave Inter Milan by the end of the current transfer window, with Stoke City leading the hunt for the Croatian’s signature.
Inter are looking to cash-in on Brozovic, but refuse to sell to Serie A rivals Juventus, meaning a switch to the Premier League looks a distinct possibility.
