Finding a suitable replacement on the left wing has become one of West Ham’s most pressing priorities as they prepare for Championship football.

Arsenal are pushing to make Bruno Guimaraes the defining signing of their title defence, but Newcastle are determined to extract maximum value from any deal. Mikel Arteta has long admired the Brazilian midfielder, with the Gunners reportedly exploring a move even before Newcastle signed him from Lyon for around £42 million in January 2022. That signing proved transformational, with Guimaraes quickly becoming the heartbeat of Eddie Howe’s midfield and eventually being handed the captaincy. He delivered Newcastle’s biggest moment for generations, lifting the Carabao Cup after victory over Liverpool in 2025. Last season proved difficult for the club overall, but…

Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola faces a serious defensive headache as the new Premier League season approaches, with his centre-back options severely depleted heading into 2026/27. Virgil van Dijk remains a cornerstone of the Liverpool backline, having missed just 12 games across the last five seasons after recovering from a career-threatening ACL injury sustained in October 2020. Despite entering the latter stages of his career, the Dutch defender is expected to play a central role under Iraola, but the identity of his partner remains a pressing and unresolved question. Ibrahima Konaté, who started 36 league games last term, rejected a new…
