Liverpool, Manchester United and Arsenal set to be busier than ever.
Liverpool enjoyed success in the Champions League this year and their quest to end their league title drought in 2019 will be bolstered by the arrival of Naby Keita from RB Leipzig. He will not be the last new face on Merseyside, however, with Monaco's Fabinho already in. Roma's Alisson is next and could Lyon's Nabil Fekir follow? At United Jose Mourinho looks set to spend big again as he targets reinforcements in his bid to haul in record-breaking Manchester City next season. He's got Fred but another central midfield player is high on his list with a big money move for Real Madrid's Gareth Bale not out the question.
For the first time in over two decades Arsenal head into the offseason with a new manager at the helm. That man is former PSG boss Unai Emery after a stunning 11th hour change of heart at the Emirates and he already has four new signings and plenty more on the way with more on his shopping list. Chelsea have a new manager themselves after appointing Maurizio Sarri with the futures of Eden Hazard and Willian high on his agenda but across London Mauricio Pochettino won't be leaving Tottenham Hotspur after signing a new five-year deal.
We will have all the latest news, views, rumours, gossip and done deals right here so don't touch that dial.

The 26-year-old midfielder enjoyed a successful four-year stint with City, winning the FA Women's Super League, FA Women's Cup and two Continental Cups.
"All at Manchester City thank Izzy for her contribution over the past four years and wish her the best of luck with her new experience," read a statement on mancity.com.
Christiansen, who began her career with Everton and has also played for Birmingham, scored 18 times in 61 appearances for City and was named PFA Women's Players' Player of the Year in 2016.
The move to France sees her link up with former City team-mate Lucy Bronze.
England defender Bronze joined Lyon in 2017 and helped them win a third successive Champions League title in May.
Loris Karius has not ruled out leaving Liverpool this summer having lost his status as Jürgen Klopp’s first-choice goalkeeper.
Klopp confirmed this weekend that new arrival Alisson, the world’s most-expensive ‘keeper following his £66m signing from Roma, will start the new season as Liverpool’s No 1.
Karius’ position at Liverpool has come under great scrutiny since his errors in May’s Champions League final handed victory to Real Madrid and now, he must settle with a role on the bench.
Speaking after the final whistle in Charlotte on Sunday, Karius admitted the arrival of Alisson was far from ideal before casting doubt over his long-term future.
Loris Karius has hit out at those who “take joy in seeing other people fail” after facing yet more criticism for another goalkeeping error.
The 25-year-old was at fault for the final goal in Liverpool’s 3-1 friendly defeat to Borussia Dortmund on Sunday night, parrying Christian Pulisic’s late shot into the path of scorer Jacob Bruun Larsen.
Karius narrowly avoided conceding from a separate error in the first half. Dortmund’s Maximilian Philipp failed to convert from long range after intercepting the goalkeeper’s botched attempt at a clearance.
Karius, a £4.7m signing from Mainz in 2016, has come under great scrutiny since a pair of costly mistakes in May’s Champions League final and last week, he lost his status as Jurgen Klopp’s No 1 to new arrival Alisson.
After the final whistle in Charlotte on Sunday, Karius took to Instagram to defend himself from the criticism he has faced throughout the summer.
Wolverhampton Wanderers are considering triggering Adama Traore’s release clause to beat Huddersfield Town to the signing of the Middlesbrough winger.
The former Barcelona forward is as speedy and tricky as they came, with some metrics marking him out as one of Europe’s top dribblers.
And though his final product could still do with some work, the 22-year-old Spaniard is considered a diamond in the rough by both Wolves and the Terriers, who have both made their interest known.
Former England captain John Terry has denied reports he has retired from football.
Reports on Sunday claimed the 37-year-old had decided to hang up his boots after leaving Aston Villa at the end of last season.
But the former Chelsea defender denied that was the case, saying he was "weighing up" his options.
Jose Mourinho has warned Anthony Martial that ‘you do not always get what you want in life’ as the Manchester Unitedforward attempts to engineer a move away from the club.
Philippe Lamboley, Martial’s agent, revealed last month that the 22-year-old wished to leave Old Trafford after spending the last two years on the fringes of Mourinho’s side.
Martial, who joined from Monaco in an initial £36m deal in 2015, failed to agree terms on a new United contract last season and his current deal is set to expire next summer.
