The transfer window is open again for summer business to be conducted.
Clubs can now strike deals until the deadline at 19:00 BST on 1 September.
So if you can sell one player, who is it? And if you can buy one player only, who gets the nod?
Give us reasons for your choice but remember, in this instance it's a strict one player leaving and one coming in.

Image source, Getty ImagesIt does feel like Aston Villa will have to sell some key players this summer if they are to bring others in and keep within PSR regulations.
There has been a lot of rumours around it and I believe Jacob Ramsey was a name being mentioned who, as a homegrown player, they would make more money from.
It is difficult, and with homegrown players, it is disappointing they are the ones who are sacrificed for these Financial Fair Play rules. You can have a lot of good, young, talented homegrown players coming through, but you know they will be talked about and possibly sold in transfer windows.
Rumours are there at Aston Villa at the moment - and when the rumours are there, they are usually there for a reason. If they want to freshen things up a little bit, then I think they are going to have to offload to do that.
The disappointing thing is that the players they are going to have to offload are probably ones that the the club do not want to lose.
You look at Ollie Watkins, for example. You know he is a player who is going to get you 10-plus goals this season, and having lost Jhon Duran in the winter, who are you going to get to replace what Watkins gives you if he leaves?
They do have squad depth and there is a lot of quality in there, but there are some players who are just more difficult to replace than others.
Losing Watkins would probably have a bigger impact on the team than losing any other player.

Shan has been Villa's Under-18 head coach since last summer, winning the Under-18 Premier League national title and FA Youth Cup with the age group.
Gombau was appointed to the role in January 2024 and led Villa's Under-21s to the Round of 16 of the Uefa Youth League.
President of Football Operations Monci, said on the move: "The club is very excited by the talent of our academy players.
"Jimmy has shown his ability to conduct and develop players with the Under-18s winning the league and the FA Youth Cup and we look forward to watching him work with our Under-21s."

Of all the blizzard of statistics measuring Youri Tielemans' season for Aston Villa, this number particularly stands out.
In the most competitive area of a squad growing in depth around him, Tielemans started 52 of Villa's 57 competitive games, more than anyone else except Morgan Rogers.
Until a minor injury finally interrupted his season in May, Tielemans had started every game except the two Carabao Cup matches, for which Unai Emery made more radical team changes.
In arguably the deepest high-quality squad in the club's history, Tielemans was the go-to guy.
"He's our best player by a mile this season," said John McGinn in a TNT Sports interview last month.
"His first year was a bit stop-start, but he's a huge player for us and he's versatile - he can play as a 10, eight or six."
Tielemans' status at Villa has transformed over the past 18 months.
After his arrival, he spent the first third of the Premier League season as a substitute. Then, after finally working his way into the first XI - starting both of the statement wins over Manchester City and Arsenal in December 2023 – a calf injury set him back for a month.
But his status had been established, and once fit again, he was rarely left out.
"Last year was very important in how he adapted to us, and how he was understanding how we wanted to build with him," said Unai Emery in January.
"This year, he's playing consistently, again in different positions because he is a versatile player."
That word again: versatile. There is room for specialists in an Emery squad, but he has depended most heavily on players like Tielemans, McGinn and Rogers - footballing Swiss Army knives he can deploy in different roles as the situation demands.
Villa's two full seasons under Emery have run to 56 and 57 games and, given the Spaniard's record in Europe - and the Europa League in particular - they could easily match that total again in 2025-26.
The strength of Villa's squad comes not only from depth, but flexibility.
But Profit and Sustainability Rules are not flexible. Like last summer, at least one top-liner will surely have to go if Villa are to limbo under the PSR bar again.
Tielemans' arrival as a "free" - in transfer-fee terms - would make selling him a profitable prospect.
His record last season would command a significant fee. That same record, though, makes him perhaps the most difficult man in the squad to replace, and selling him the hardest to countenance.

Image source, Getty Images"I think he's one of the leaders on the field," Unai Emery said of Youri Tielemans in April, with the Aston Villa boss describing the Belgian as "very important" to how his side plays.
After struggling in his first season in the West Midlands, Tielemans had a point to prove in 2024-25.
And, although Villa missed out on Champions League football on the final day, the 28-year-old has made his presence felt in the heart of midfield over the past nine months.
But how has he done it?
Nothing illustrates the change in his role more than the amount of time he has spent on the pitch.
In his first season at Villa Park, he played just 1,620 minutes in the Premier League, waiting until November for his first Premier League start.
Last season - despite featuring in just four more games - Tielemans nearly doubled the amount, playing 3,032 minutes.
His versatility is a key asset, with Emery able to deploy him in several of the different central midfield positions and even occasionally on the left-hand side.
He even ended up as Villa's third top goalscorer despite scoring only three times, following the departure of Jhon Duran to Al-Nassr.
Nevertheless, his influence in the final third focuses more on his ability to break down the opposition, and he created more chances (61) than any other Aston Villa player this season.
That number put him ninth overall across all players in the Premier League and is a significant improvement on his first year at the club where he only created 18 opportunities.
Add to that his 2,517 touches - again highest for his team-mates - and it merely emphasises his impact.
At the other end of the pitch, Tielemans has been just as impressive.
Not only has he won possession the most times (145), but he also made the most tackles (84) across the entire season, with the latter number more than doubling his tally from the previous year.
With his dual ability to play high up the pitch, and to drop deep to win the ball back, it seems pretty clear Tielemans' improvement has made him one of Villa's most important players under Unai Emery.
If he were to leave this summer, it would be a damaging blow for hopes of a Champions League return next season.
Manchester United hold bragging rights as the most popular Premier League club across social platforms, according to CIES Football Observatory., external
Ranking third overall behind Real Madrid and Barcelona, Manchester United total 233.6 million subscribers and followers across X, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and YouTube.
Rivals Manchester City are second highest out of Premier League clubs and fifth overall with 179.5m, with Liverpool (166.7m) and Chelsea (152.9m) just behind.
Arsenal also make the global top 10 with 114.1m, meaning there are five English teams inside the top 10.
Spurs just miss out in 11th with 108.1m, but they did gain an extra 700,000 followers over their North London rivals since June 2024.
A total of 15 English clubs make the top 100, with Leeds United squeezing into the 100th spot with 6.4m.
While fans may not sing about social media followers, global interest has a hand in paying the bills at their beloved football clubs.

The 22-year-old is attracting interest from the Championship and abroad following a standout season at Deepdale.
He has come through Villa's academy - making four substitute appearances - and any cash will help the club comply with Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR).
Kesler-Hayden, an England Under-20 international, won Preston's young player of the season and player of the season awards.
The full-back made 51 appearances as North End finished 20th in the Championship.
He has previously spent time on loan at Swindon, MK Dons, Huddersfield and Plymouth.

The Aston Villa midfielder was captaining his country for the fifth time and played a vital role in their victory, with club colleague Amadou Onana alongside him.
With Belgium already a goal up, Tielemans finished off after neat play down the left-hand side to double lead after just 19 minutes.
Despite Belgium scoring again, Wales got one back before the break and managed to score twice after the restart to bring the game level.
However, with just two minutes remaining, it was Tielemans' perfect cross in to the far post that set up the winner for Manchester City legend Kevin de Bruyne.
The result marks Belgium's first victory in World Cup qualifying following a disappointing draw against North Macedonia in their opening game.
Now 28, Tielemans has racked up 77 appearances for his country.
Image source, Getty ImagesWe asked for your views on whether you think Aston Villa need to do any transfer business before the first of the two summer transfer windows shuts.
Here are some of your comments:
Prit: I would love Villa to do some work before deadline day, but I suspect/fear any movement will be dictated by PSR, given how we bottled the games against Manchester United and Crystal Palace.
Cassie: A new experienced striker with an eye for goal is badly needed. And also a playmaker who can sit in front of the back four and who can play the ball with precision. A new centre-half would also be an addition. With Thursday night football looming, we need a bigger squad.
Terry: I would like to see some movement in and out. But who to let go, and who to sign? With the PSR rules. I'd like to see Youssef En-Nesyri at Villa. He has been incredible under Unai Emery in the past.
Matt: Leon Bailey, Jacob Ramsey, Matty Cash, and Pau Torres sales would avoid us selling any key first-team players like Emi Martinez, Ollie Watkins, or Morgan Rogers. Then replace them after 30 June.
Andrew: I will be happy if we can keep our star players. I don't want us to rush buying players, as we need players who are better than our starting XI.
Jez: We still need more firepower out wide and probably a new right-back and goalkeeper. Links to Leroy Sane and Joao Pedro are exciting but seem ambitious. If we want to compete in the Champions League, we need two to three quality additions, not just potential. I'd have liked Marsco Asensio, but he's returned to PSG. Over to Monchi and Emery now - don't let this momentum slip!
Today is the first of two transfer deadline days this summer as the window shuts for seven days before reopening on 16 June.

It is not just at the top of the Premier League where American ownership has a foothold in English football.
Twenty years on from the Glazer takeover of Manchester United, one third of the 72 EFL clubs now have either majority or minority US backers.
In a special episode of BBC Radio 5 Live's Football Daily podcast, Kelly Cates is joined by a group of experts to investigate whether this trend is likely to continue.
On Tuesday, the first of two summer transfer windows will come to a close.
So, do you expect business to be done at Aston Villa before the deadline? Do you want players to come in or exit? If so, what or who do you think is needed?

Image source, Getty ImagesTyrone Mings has thanked Aston Villa fans for their "unwavering support" as the club confirmed the defender has signed a one-year contract extension.
The 32-year-old centre-back has made 180 appearances for the Villans since joining for £20m from Bournemouth in 2019.
"We've had quite the journey," said Mings. who returned from a long-term knee injury in January, on his time at Villa Park so far.
"My belief that we can achieve something extra special is stronger than ever.
"I thank the fans, the manager, the staff and the players for their unwavering support, both on and off the pitch, through one of the toughest periods of my career.
"I'm sure next season will be our best one yet."

As the dust settles on the 2024-25 Premier League season, we have been taking a look at some of the alternative ways the the table could have finished...
"We never do it the easy way."
Something muttered by many a football fan as they watch their side go 1-0 down again.
As frustrating as it can be watching from the stands or on the TV, it is a position some teams thrive in.
Luring the opposition into a false sense of security, it is almost as though they do not get going until they have given the other team a chance.
And if the league was measured on how well a team bounces back after conceding the first goal, then this season would have seen Brighton coming away with a Premier League title.
There were 17 occasions in 2024-25 when the Seagulls conceded the first goal, but from those they came back to win five and draw five - rescuing 20 points in the process.
It will not have made for comfortable watching for the fans, but it does show the tenacity of Fabian Hurzeler's side to turn a match around.
The sign of champions is to win when you are not at your best and that is what Liverpool did this campaign. They may not have have conceded first as often as Brighton, but they still came back to win four times and draw seven.
It will not have always helped the cause of those chasing European spots, but Newcastle, Fulham and Aston Villa all showed the resilience that they could go one-goal down and still get much-needed points from a game.
At the other end of the scale, while some teams thrive in this situation, others flounder.
Nottingham Forest surprised many onlookers going from relegation candidates to battling for a Champions League spot in less than 12 months.
But key to that was their defence. There were not many occasions where they went 1-0 down - however, when they did, their ability to turn it around was in relegation territory.
The silver-lining for Reds fans, though, is that they really did make it difficult for the opposition to get in front and this is a strength they will hope to build on going forwards.

Image source, Getty ImagesA wind of change is about to blow through Aston Villa. With an Icarus-like attitude, they soared high in the Champions League, pushing the eventual winners close, only to now face the challenge of managing their descent.
Boubacar Kamara has been in contract talks since well before last Christmas. The fact nothing has been signed, despite ongoing reports, strongly suggests the player was waiting to see whether Villa would still be a Champions League team by season's end.
From the club's perspective, selling Kamara would be tempting from a PSR angle. Signed on a free transfer, any sale would register as pure profit in the accounts - useful for balancing the books.
While Villa's form clearly improves when Kamara is in the team, his availability has been patchy. Over three seasons, because of injuries, the midfielder has started only 54% of Villa's Premier League matches.
Despite qualifying for Europe for a third consecutive season, Villa find themselves in trouble when it comes to Uefa's Squad Cost Rule (SCR), which limits spending on players, coaches, transfers and agent fees to 80% of total revenue for the 2024-25 campaign.
Villa are believed to be operating at over 89%, and while a Uefa fine is expected, the limit will drop even further to 70% the following season and beyond.
This goes some way to explaining why Kamara, along with Leon Bailey and Emi Martinez - both of whom seemed to have emotional farewells at Villa Park - may not be at the club next season.
Villa will also be frustrated that last summer's main outlay - about £87m on Amadou Onana and Ian Maatsen - failed to secure continued Champions League football.
Onana started just 20 league games (53%), while Maatsen started only 10 (26%). Both improved the squad, but Villa still had other starting XI positions - like right-back - that needed upgrading.
With Uefa breathing down their necks, Villa will need to be much smarter with their spending this summer, especially after expected key player sales.

Having failed to qualify for the Champions League things look less rosy at Aston Villa.
The club made a loss of £206m in the two years to 30 June 2024 and, with the £100m departure of Jack Grealish in 2021 dropping away from their PSR figures, backing Unai Emery will be far from straightforward.
Last term's run to the quarter-finals of Europe's elite club competition, along with the sales Moussa Diaby, Douglas Luiz and Jhon Duran will undoubtedly have helped.
But the Midlands club has spent more than £900m since returning to the Premier League in 2019, exceeding Uefa's 70% revenue to wages ratio every season.
"Without any outgoings, it appears Villa will be at the bottom end of the £50-100m spending range," said football finance expert Kieran Maguire.
