The Premier League season has only just ended, but clubs are already making moves in the transfer market in order to get a jump on their rivals ahead of the new season.
With a winter World Cup on the horizon, the English top flight resumes on August 6 - less than 10 weeks away - and there are signs of a busy summer of business.
Erling Haaland's move to Manchester City has dominated the early headlines, while Ivan Perisic's move to Tottenham will excite Spurs fans.
Leeds United paid £25 million for Red Bull Salzburg's Brenden Aaronson, Liverpool signed Fulham's Fabio Carvalho, and Aston Villa made a double move for Diego Carlos and Boubacar Kamara.
Below are players that may take Premier League by storm next season.
Ousmane Dembele
Dembele is a player who has recently been linked with Liverpool, who are looking for replacements for Divock Origi and Sadio Mane.
They will not, however, be the only club interested in the 25-year-old Barcelona winger, who is expected to leave the Nou Camp.
With his current Barcelona contract set to expire this summer and no sign of a new deal being reached, the France international has been linked with Chelsea, Manchester United, and Paris St-Germain.
Dembele joined Barcelona for £136 million from Borussia Dortmund in 2017 and has 13 La Liga assists in 21 appearances since Xavi's appointment as manager in November.
Darwin Nunez
A gossip column regular and a striker attracting interest from a number of Premier League clubs.
The Benfica forward scored 34 goals in 43 games last season, including six in the Champions League, and it is widely reported that he will leave the club this summer despite having three years remaining on his contract.
Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal, and Newcastle United have all been linked with a move for the 22-year-old, but he will not be cheap, with Benfica reportedly demanding around £100 million.
Christopher Nkunku
Another exciting forward who could be on his way to the Premier League.
Chelsea and Manchester United have been heavily linked with the Bundesliga's player of the season, who scored 20 goals and provided 13 assists for RB Leipzig in the German top flight.
The 24-year-old Frenchman is also said to be a target for his former club, Paris St-Germain, after leaving them in 2019.
