Several Premier League clubs are still scrambling to negotiate deals, terms and fees before the cutoff point.

The likes of Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea are all expected to be active in the market this week with players coming and going.

SunSport have looked at 11 stars that could be coming to or leaving England over the next few days.

Mikel Merino

Yes, he is still yet to be officially unveiled as an Arsenal player.

The Gunners have been in talks with Real Sociedad for weeks over a deal for Merino.

But they finally made a breakthrough last week.

Arsenal agreed to sign him for £33million with personal terms not an issue.

The Spaniard is already in London and his announcement is imminent.

FOOTBALL FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALS

Kepa Arrizabalaga

The goalkeeper is not expected to have a space at Chelsea this season.

His number has already been taken away and he was recently put in the club’s ‘bomb squad’ – a group of exiled players that have been told to train separately from the first team.

With his Chelsea career now in major doubt, Kepa could move away before Friday’s deadline.

SunSport exclusively revealed on Friday that he recently held talks with Andoni Iraola over a loan move to Bournemouth.

It would see him sign a new deal with the Blues beforehand due to the fact his current one expires at the end of the season.

Kepa is keen on the move, meaning it could come to fruition this week.

Raheem Sterling

New manager Enzo Maresca has informed Sterling that he will have no place in the Chelsea squad this season.

The winger was exiled from the squad following last weekend’s defeat to Manchester City and, like Kepa, is now training separately.

Sterling even had his number stripped and given to new signing Pedro Neto just a few days ago.

He is now seeking a move away, with Crystal Palace and Aston Villa understood to be interested.

Reports have also suggested that Chelsea could offer both him and Ben Chilwell to Man Utd in exchange for Jadon Sancho.

Jadon Sancho

Although he appeared to rebuild bridges with Erik ten Hag following last season’s public fallout, Sancho is yet to feature in the first team squad this campaign.

Discussing the reason behind Sancho’s absence ahead of United’s 2-1 defeat to Brighton on Saturday, Ten Hag said: “He’s here. I had a choice to make.

“We had some issues, we need a full squad.

“He’s one of them and needs to compete for his position, we’ll have a look.

“In the squad, it’s a long season.”

Chelsea are now interested in signing the out-of-favour winger, so a deal could be struck before this week’s deadline.

Ivan Toney

Like Sancho and Sterling, Toney is yet to feature in the Premier League this season.

Ahead of Brentford‘s match against Crystal Palace last week, manager Thomas Frank revealed he was absent due to ongoing transfer speculation.

And he cited the same reason on Sunday, saying: “The status is the same as last week. Things are going on with transfer speculation so the decision is the same.

“He is training well, there is no problem. I’d rather focus on the game and the players that are playing instead of talking about him.”

Toney has allegedly agreed personal terms with Al Ahli, although the Saudi Pro League side are yet to match Brentford’s £50million asking price.

Victor Osimhen

Osimhen has established himself as one of Europe’s most sought-after strikers in recent years.

Several clubs have expressed an interest in signing him, including Arsenal, Man Utd and Chelsea.

Enzo Maresca revealed on Friday that he would like to sign a new striker, further fuelling speculation about a move to Stamford Bridge.

However, reports suggest he is now on the verge of joining Al Ahli.

The Saudi Pro League giants are close to agreeing a £55m deal with Napoli.

But Osimhen is still yet to sign off on personal terms and would prefer to stay in Europe.

Marc Guehi

Newcastle have been desperately chasing the Crystal Palace centre-back in recent weeks.

The Magpies have already had four bids rejected but remain hopeful an agreement will be reached before Friday’s deadline.

Palace allegedly want £70m for Guehi, who was one of England’s best players at Euro 2024.

Jarrad Branthwaite

The Everton defender has been heavily linked with a move away from Goodison Park in recent months.

Man Utd have already had two bids rejected – one of which was deemed ‘unacceptable’ at £35m.

The Red Devils subsequently signed Leny Yoro and Matthijs de Ligt so could hold fire on a third bid.

But Liverpool or Newcastle could swoop in to negotiate a deal before deadline day, especially with Everton needing to offload players.

Scott McTominay

Napoli agreed to sign McTominay in a £25m transfer at the weekend.

The midfielder had initially been linked with Fulham, Galatasaray and West Ham but all three clubs failed to match Man Utd’s valuation.

McTominay‘s departure could facilitate the arrival of Manuel Ugarte.

Manuel Ugarte

With United set to make a pure profit from the sale of McTominay, officials will now look to sign Ugarte from Paris Saint-Germain.

The Red Devils will likely have to pay £51m for the Uruguay international, with personal terms not thought to be an issue.

Frenkie de Jong

Barcelona are scrambling to offload players ahead of the deadline, with new signing Dani Olmo currently unable to register.

De Jong could be one of the stars forced out to make way for the Spaniard.

And if Man Utd fail to land Ugarte, they could turn back to the Dutchman having held an interest for the last two years.

Honourable mentions

Eddie Nketiah has been heavily linked with a move away from Arsenal this summer.

Marseille were interested but refused to meet Arsenal’s £30m valuation.

Nottingham Forest also looked at a deal but it collapsed after the two parties failed to agree personal terms.

Now, Crystal Palace are pushing to sign him before deadline day.

Meanwhile, Liverpool are on the verge of completing a £29.6m deal for goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili.

He will join the club officially next summer from Valencia.
