With three weeks left in the summer transfer window, the excitement is building as teams scramble to finalize deals. This period often brings about last-minute panic, domino effects from pending transfers, and sudden, spectacular moves that can change the landscape of the Premier League.
Right now, several players are pushing for moves to top-tier clubs. Following Dominic Solanke’s high-profile transfer from Bournemouth to Tottenham Hotspur, GIVEMESPORT has analyzed the situations of six Premier League stars who could make significant leaps to traditional top-six clubs.
Ivan Toney
After receiving a hero’s welcome upon his return to Brentford training, Ivan Toney wasn’t expecting to stay with the Bees this season. He’s been eyeing a move to a bigger club, with Tottenham Hotspur previously considering him as a more affordable option compared to Solanke. However, now that Spurs have secured Solanke, their interest in Toney may cool. The North London club was reportedly willing to pay around £40 million for the England international, despite some concerns from other clubs about his attitude.
Eberechi Eze
Eberechi Eze has been linked with several of the country’s top clubs, thanks to a clause in his contract allowing him to leave for £60 million upfront, with an additional £8 million in add-ons. While this price tag is hefty, Crystal Palace remains hopeful of retaining him beyond the summer window. Chelsea, Tottenham, and Manchester City are all monitoring the winger, with City having considered signing him a year ago before he renewed his contract with the Eagles.
Adam Wharton
Although less discussed than Eze, Adam Wharton’s future at Crystal Palace is also worth watching. Manchester City admires the England international and could pursue him as they contemplate their midfield options for the future. With the ongoing burden on Rodri and the potential departure of Kalvin Phillips, Wharton could be an attractive target for the Premier League champions. While Palace has no intention of losing him so soon after signing, they are aware of how highly regarded he is in the league.
Anthony Gordon
A move to Liverpool for Anthony Gordon looks challenging, given there’s no clear space for him in the squad, and Newcastle United are determined to keep him. However, a potential swap deal involving Joe Gomez could reopen the conversation. Gordon, a lifelong Liverpool fan, might be tempted by the opportunity, especially if Liverpool offloads someone like Luis Diaz, who has attracted interest this year.
Kyle Walker-Peters
Kyle Walker-Peters has been linked with a move away from Southampton for some time, and his exit still seems likely. With Emerson Royal’s transfer to AC Milan nearing completion, Tottenham Hotspur’s interest in Walker-Peters could intensify. His background at Spurs, versatility, and ability to meet squad quotas make him an ideal candidate for Ange Postecoglou’s plans. However, Walker-Peters will need to weigh whether he’s willing to take on a backup role at this stage in his career, as he looks to avoid merely making up the numbers at a new club.
As the transfer window nears its end, these situations are ones to watch, with potential moves that could reshape the Premier League’s top teams.
