    The 24-year-old striker has moved to the Saints - to replace Danny Ings - in a deal which could be worth more than £20m with add-ons.

    He scored 28 goals in 40 Championship games in 2020-21, the second-highest figure in the division last season.

    “I thought it was perfect as my next step," said the former Newcastle player. "I wanted to get back to the Premier League from what I’ve done for Blackburn, so I’m over the moon.”

    The 21-year-old USA international joins on a four-year contract, reportedly for a fee in the region of £8m.

    Sargent scored 15 goals in 83 games in his time at Werder Bremen and managed five in 32 Bundesliga appearances in the 2020-21 season.

    "I've always wanted to play in the Premier League, so it's a very exciting opportunity for me," said Sargent.

    The defender, 23, has also signed a contract extension at Old Trafford until June 2023.

    He returns to the Midlands club for a third time, having made 35 appearances across two separate spells in 2018 and 2019.

    The defender was part of the Villa side that beat Derby in the 2019 Championship play-off final at Wembley.

    The 34-year-old Slovakia midfielder made 74 appearances in three Serie A seasons with Parma, having previously played for the likes of Trabzonspor, AC Milan and Genoa.

    Kucka also has 86 international caps and played all three of Slovakia's matches at Euro 2020.

    The Argentina defender Cristian Romero becomes Tottenham's second most expensive player behind the £53.8m for Tanguy Ndombele in 2019.

    Romero, 23, who won the Copa America with Argentina earlier in the summer, was voted the best defender in Serie A last season.

    He becomes Spurs' third summer signing and takes their outlay leading up to the new season to nearly £70m.

  7. Jack Grealishpublished at 23:04 British Summer Time 5 August 2021

    Aston Villa to Manchester City, £100m

    Manchester City smashed the British transfer record to sign Jack Grealish from Aston Villa for £100m.

    The 25-year-old has joined the Premier League champions on a six-year contract and will wear the number 10 shirt recently vacated by Sergio Aguero.

    The fee surpasses the £89m Manchester United paid to re-sign midfielder Paul Pogba from Juventus in 2016.

    The move makes Grealish the ninth most expensive footballer in history.

    Will he prove to be worth that considerable investment?

  8. Danny Ingspublished at 10:49 British Summer Time 5 August 2021

    One that came out of nowhere.

    Villa surprised everyone and further strengthened their frontline by bringing in England international Ings.

    The 29-year-old netted 46 goals in 100 appearances for Southampton after joining from Liverpool in 2018.

    Ings, who was about to enter the final year of his contract at St Mary's, turned down the offer of a four-year deal in July.

    A shrewd move from Dean Smith to sign a proven Premier League striker?

    Having previously been linked with moves to Manchester United, Arsenal and Tottenham, Aston Villa pulled off a transfer coup with the acquisition of the 23-year-old Jamaica winger.

    Bailey scored 28 goals in 119 Bundesliga appearances for Leverkusen and has signed a deal until 2025.

    Manager Dean Smith said: "We are now looking forward to watching him show his skills and talents for Aston Villa in the Premier League."

    Will he be a hit or a miss at Villa Park?

  10. Ben Whitepublished at 18:39 British Summer Time 30 July 2021

    Brighton to Arsenal, £50m

    "Ben was a top target for us and it's great that we've completed his signing," said manager Mikel Arteta.

    The 23-year-old, who was a late call-up to Gareth Southgate's England Euro 2020 squad, has had a meteoric rise, released by Southampton as a teenager before being signed by Brighton in 2016.

    He spent time out on loan at Newport and Peterborough before joining Leeds on loan for their Championship-winning season in 2019-20.

    Now he has agreed a long-term deal at Arsenal, where he will take the number four shirt left vacant after the exit of defender David Luiz.

    A decent replacement for the Brazilian?

    The 28-year-old spent last season on loan at Fulham, where he won the supporters' player of the year award.

    West Ham want to provide competition for first-choice Lukasz Fabianski, 36, before their Europa League campaign.

    Manager David Moyes called the France international an "experienced and talented goalkeeper".

    Will he usurp Fabianski to the number one spot?

  12. Joachim Andersonpublished at 19:10 British Summer Time 28 July 2021

    Lyon to Crystal Palace, undisclosed

    The 25-year-old centre-back spent last season in the Premier League on loan at Fulham, before featuring for Denmark as they reached the Euro 2020 semi-finals.

    Andersen becomes Palace's fourth signing under new manager Patrick Vieira.

    Good business by Vieira?

    Nuno Espirito Santo's second signing as Tottenham boss comes in the shape of Spain winger Bryan Gil, who joins from Sevilla with Erik Lamela moving to the La Liga club as part of the deal.

    The 20-year-old is currently with Spain's Olympics team in Japan and won his first of three senior caps in March, but wasn't part of the Euros squad.

    Despite never making a league start for Sevilla, Gil spent last season on loan at relegated Eibar, scoring three times.

    A decent long-term investment for Spurs?

    Tottenham have brought in Atalanta keeper Pierluigi Gollini on a season-long loan deal with an option to buy as he becomes their first signing of the Nuno Espirito Santo era.

    Gollini played 20 times for Aston Villa in the Championship in 2016 before joining Atalanta, where he has been number one for the past three seasons.

    Gollini will join goalkeepers Hugo Lloris and Joe Hart at Tottenham. A good option?

    Manchester United's long pursuit of Sancho finally came to an end this summer, with the England winger making the move to Old Trafford for a punchy fee of £73m.

    His pedigree is stellar, with the 21-year-old having scored 50 goals and registered 64 assists in four seasons with Borussia Dortmund. He was also part of the England squad that reached the final of Euro 2020.

    "His goals and assists records speak for themselves and he will also bring tremendous pace, flair and creativity to the team," said United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

    Much will be expected of him, so can the former Manchester City replicate his Bundesliga form back in England?

    Demarai Gray becomes the third signing of new boss Rafael Benitez's reign after former Crystal Palace winger Andros Townsend and Bournemouth goalkeeper Asmir Begovic joined the club.

    The 25-year-old former Leicester winger, who signed a three-year deal, said: "I’m delighted to be back in the Premier League at such a big club and I’m excited to play with the team and get to work.

    A return to his Foxes form and Everton have got a bargain, haven't they?

    Norway centre-back Kristoffer Ajer has been a first-team regular for four seasons at Celtic, winning four Scottish Premiership titles.

    The 23-year-old joins newly-promoted Brentford on a five-year deal and is expected to slot straight into the heart of the Bees' defence.

    Composed on the ball, Ajer has 23 caps for Norway and will surely prove an asset to Brentford?

    One of new Everton boss Rafa Benitez's first moves in the transfer market is to bring in an old friend in the shape of Andros Townsend, who played under the Spaniard at Newcastle.

    The winger, 30, joined on a free transfer following the end of his contract at Crystal Palace and has signed a two-year deal with the Toffees.

    "My strengths are that I can cross a ball with my left or right foot, get balls into the box," said Townsend. "I like to score a goal or two and I work hard off the ball - which is something I got better at with Rafa."

    Everton fans will no doubt want more this summer, but with no fee involved is this a shrewd signing?

    Everton made it two free transfers in the space of a day by bringing in experienced goalkeeper Asmir Begovic alongside Andros Townsend.

    Begovic, 34, has signed from Bournemouth on a 12-month contract with the option of a further year and will provide back up to first-choice keeper Jordan Pickford.

    With over 250 Premier League games under his belt, Begovic brings plenty of nous to the squad. A worthwhile capture for the Toffees, or not?

    Wales goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey has joined Burnley on a two-year deal following his release by Crystal Palace.

    The 34-year-old, who has played 96 times for his country but was back-up to Danny Ward at Euro 2020, will challenge Clarets first choice keeper Nick Pope for a first-team place.

    With no fee involved it seems a bit of a no-brainer to have a man of Hennessey's experience on board, but you may feel differently.
