Premier League sides had the opportunity to plan for transfers during the World Cup break and it will soon be time to put them into action with the January transfer window just around the corner. Liverpool have already made a statement move by agreeing to sign Cody Gakpo while Manchester United and Chelsea are also looking to lay crucial groundwork.
Jurgen Klopp's Reds snapping up Gakpo has left United scrambling for options in attack with Erik ten Hag set to try and compensate for Cristiano Ronaldo's exit. The Dutchman may also have a decision to make on outgoings amid loan interest in one of his young stars.
Chelsea raised eyebrows by splashing out in the summer and co-owner Todd Boehly could sanction more big-money deals in January, following through on his promise to pour investment into the club after taking over from Roman Abramovich.
