As the 2024 summer transfer window enters its final days, the football world is abuzz with activity. Clubs are scrambling to complete deals before the deadline, and numerous players are eagerly awaiting their next move. Here’s a look at 15 players who are expected to secure transfers in the coming days and where they might end up.
1. Raheem Sterling
Raheem Sterling’s future at Chelsea looks increasingly uncertain. The winger has been sidelined by manager Enzo Maresca, with no squad number assigned. Manchester United, Aston Villa, and Juventus have all been linked with the England international, although his hefty wages could pose a challenge.
2. Ben Chilwell
Sterling’s Chelsea teammate Ben Chilwell is also on the move. Maresca has indicated that Chilwell does not fit into his plans. Given Chilwell’s quality, a Premier League move seems likely, with Manchester United rumored to be interested, possibly in a swap deal involving Jadon Sancho.
3. Trevoh Chalobah
Another Chelsea player, Trevoh Chalobah, has been removed from the first-team setup and is without a squad number. At 25, Chalobah is at a career crossroads but has plenty of suitors, including Wolves and Newcastle, as well as potential moves abroad.
4. Eddie Nketiah
Arsenal’s Eddie Nketiah had been close to a move to Nottingham Forest, but that deal fell through. Crystal Palace is now reportedly interested in the striker, who might benefit from a fresh start after playing a backup role at Arsenal.
5. Ivan Toney
Brentford’s Ivan Toney, with just one year remaining on his contract, is likely to move this summer. Although Premier League interest seems to have waned, Saudi Arabian clubs are keen, and there is still a chance Chelsea or Arsenal might make a late bid.
6. Jadon Sancho
Jadon Sancho’s situation at Manchester United remains in flux. Despite improvements from last season, he has been left out of the squad for recent games. Chelsea and Juventus are potential destinations, though negotiations may be complicated.
7. Joao Cancelo
Joao Cancelo, who has been loaned out to Bayern Munich and Barcelona in recent seasons, appears to have no future at Manchester City. A move to Saudi Arabia has been suggested, but other European clubs might also be interested.
8. Kieran Tierney
Arsenal’s Kieran Tierney, plagued by injuries, spent last season on loan at Real Sociedad. To regain regular playing time, another move away might be necessary, with potential interest from various clubs.
9. Kepa Arrizabalaga
Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga, who spent last season on loan at Real Madrid, is set for another loan move to Bournemouth. With Chelsea’s current number one being Robert Sanchez, Kepa’s opportunities at Stamford Bridge are limited.
10. Ryan Fraser
Newcastle’s Ryan Fraser, who was on loan at Southampton last season, remains in limbo. Despite interest from Southampton for a permanent deal, it hasn’t materialized. Fraser’s future at Newcastle looks uncertain, and a move away could be on the cards.
11. Neal Maupay
Everton’s Neal Maupay has struggled since his move from Brighton, scoring just once in two seasons. The French striker’s relationship with Everton fans has soured, and he remains a candidate for a move, though finding a buyer might be challenging.
12. Victor Osimhen
Napoli’s Victor Osimhen has been a prolific scorer but is seeking a new challenge. Chelsea and Arsenal have shown interest, and Saudi Arabian clubs are also vying for his signature. Osimhen is keen to stay in Europe, with Chelsea appearing the most likely destination.
13. Federico Chiesa
Juventus’ Federico Chiesa is expected to leave the club before the transfer window closes. Barcelona is a potential destination, but their financial difficulties could complicate the transfer, leaving Chiesa to explore other options.
14. Adrien Rabiot
Former Juventus midfielder Adrien Rabiot, now a free agent, is linked with Liverpool and Manchester United. While he can sign after the transfer window closes, Rabiot will likely seek a deal sooner rather than later.
15. Ansu Fati
Once a highly-rated talent at Barcelona, Ansu Fati’s career has stalled. Having spent last season on loan at Brighton, Fati may seek another move if he doesn’t fit into new coach Hansi Flick’s plans for the season.
With the deadline fast approaching, these players will be hoping to finalize their moves and secure their futures before the transfer window slams shut. Sterling’s
