The Premier League is successful a weird spot, and it's a peculiar benignant of weirdness that could marque this 1 of the astir progressive summers of transfers successful a agelong time.

Let's instrumentality the season's large occurrence story: Liverpool won the league but besides person a clump of wealth to walk and a squad afloat of peak-age players whom they'd beryllium blessed to determination connected for the close offer. They besides request to regenerate arguably the champion attacking fullback the athletics has ever seen.

Then, among the remainder of the alleged "Big Six (Plus Newcastle)" -- the clubs with the deepest pockets successful the league -- astir everyone other had a disappointing season.

Manchester City imploded and request to proceed to refresh a past-its-sell-by-date squad. Despite City's implosion, Arsenal finished 2nd for the 3rd twelvemonth successful a enactment and were yet person to landing successful the Europa League than winning the title. Newcastle United bounced backmost into the Champions League, but request to amended the squad to vie astatine that level. Chelsea, good ... Chelsea would beryllium hell-bent connected spending, careless of however the squad performed. And Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur some finished successful the bottommost fractional of the array contempt yearly revenues among the 10 largest successful satellite soccer.

Just astir each of the Premier League's biggest clubs should beryllium -- and request to beryllium -- progressive successful the transportation marketplace this summer. Ahead of the authoritative opening of the summertime window, let's instrumentality a look astatine the biggest areas of request for each 7 big-time clubs.

Liverpool: At slightest 1 fullback

It's not conscionable that Liverpool mightiness person to regenerate the champion attacking close backmost successful Premier League past this summer. They mightiness person to regenerate the champion attacking near backmost successful Premier League past this summer, too.

No Premier League fullback has much vocation assists than close backmost Trent Alexander-Arnold. And the lone fullback who has much vocation assists than near backmost Andrew Robertson is Trent Alexander-Arnold. TAA is reportedly disconnected to Real Madrid, portion Robertson's premier years are officially down him.

Amid a fantastic play for Liverpool arsenic a whole, Robertson often struggled. He mislaid his spot successful the starting XI to Kostas Tsimikas astatine 1 point, and his violative output declined portion his antiaircraft struggles intensified. Among Liverpool's 11 astir utilized players, he's the lone 1 who could intelligibly beryllium upgraded with an extracurricular transfer. Plus, he'll beryllium 31 astatine the commencement of adjacent play -- not an property erstwhile players thin to amended oregon adjacent halt their declines.

At close back, the club's decision-makers astir apt privation they could consciousness comfy transitioning to 21-year-old Conor Bradley, an elite jock who tin get up and down the sideline successful the mode Robertson utilized to do. But Bradley has struggled to enactment steadfast implicit the 2 years of his fledgling nonrecreational career, and relying connected him to beryllium archetypal prime isn't a hazard the nine needs to take.

Instead, what appears astir apt is Liverpool volition look to equilibrium retired some flanks with the profiles of players they thin to sign: an up-and-down jock connected 1 broadside and a controlling passer connected the other. The marketplace volition astir apt dictate which broadside gets which benignant of player. (Reports person the Reds close connected confirming a move for Bayer Leverkusen's Jeremie Frimpong arsenic an Alexander-Arnold replacement, portion they've besides been linked with Bournemouth standout Milos Kerkez to capable the request connected the left.)
