Image 1 of 8

The transfer merry-go-round is whirring nicely again this summer, with the Premier League big guns ready to add to their ranks before the start of the new campaign.

The Atletico Madrid transfer ban threatened to throw a spanner in the works, but despite Antoine Griezmann's decision to remain in Spain the transfer market remains busy ahead of the official opening of the transfer window on 1 July.

Already this summer Manchester United have spent more than £30m on defender Victor Lindelof and Man City have broken the world record fee for a goalkeeper by signing Ederson from Benfica for £35m. Liverpool are poised to sign Mohamed Salah from Roma and even Arsenal have done some business landing Sead Kolasinac.
