Transfer focus: Traditional "Big6" club - Who needs to sign this summer?

"Big6 " club often arouses dissatisfaction among some fans, and this emotion may be understandable. After all, as traditional Premier League giants, Manchester United and Tottenham currently only ranked 16th and 17th in the league. But in terms of global influence and fan base, the top six groups composed of Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester City, Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham are still undisputed, among which the Red Devils and Manchester United may be the most globally appealing existence in this group. However, all six teams need major adjustments this summer - although the Premier League champion Liverpool has a relatively stable lineup, the transfer market last season is relatively quiet and faces the top priority of hiring people: it is necessary to find a replacement for world-class fullback Arnold.

Manchester City has spent 237 million euros in January to sign (signing 75 million to Marmush, 60 million to Nico Gonzalez, 40 million to Husanov and 37 million to Vittor Rez), but it still needs to continue to invest to help Guardiola regain the important trophy; Arsenal still fails to break the championship drought this season, but Arteta is expected to receive huge transfer funding support; Chelsea will remain active in the transfer market as always; although Manchester United and Tottenham need to be completely rebuilt, the two teams still have the opportunity to save the season through the UEFA Cup final - winning the championship will bring new players the Champions League qualification. So when the transfer window opens, what are the priority goals of each team?

Liverpool: Priority to strengthening full-back/centre-back

The news that Arnold chose to leave the team through his contract has become the most important news in England's football recently. The Reds are currently focusing on Leverkusen wingback Jeremy Flynnpon, but the Dutch international is more technically suitable for the five-back system and may even be positioned as a long-term substitute for Salah (where he played for the Dutch team). The presence of young player Connor Bradley makes Liverpool a priority for left-back signings - Robertson (30) and Zimikas (28) are gradually getting older. The central defender position also needs to be prepared for the future: Van Dijk is 33 years old, and the negotiations for Connate renewal have stalled. Although Bournemouth's Spanish central defender Dean Wheesen has been paid attention to by many parties, Real Madrid is currently leading the battle.

Arsenal: Priority to strengthening the forward/windback/defensive midfielder

Gunners are destined to be busy this summer, and it is rumored that the club will start the "big purchase" mode. Real Sociedad midfielder Zubimendi is close to completion (expected to €60 million), and will focus on the front line - new sports director Andrea Berta aims at the center and winger to strengthen the double line. The main goals include Portuguese super striker Giocres (scoring 41 goals for Portugal Sports this season) and Leipzig star Benjamin Cesco, both of which can inject new elements into Arsenal's offensive end (it is worth noting that the team has been playing a guest appearance in the center with midfielder Merino in the past three months). The winger position has been rumored to be with Athletic Bilbao's Nico Williams and Real Madrid's Rodrigo (seeking to leave the team). If you want to end the championship drought, the Gunners urgently need heavy signings on the front line and introduce competitors for Martinelli. In addition, the club also participated in the competition for central defender Huiysen.

Manchester City: Priority to strengthening the midfield/right back

Although large-scale signings have been conducted in January, the Blue Moon may continue its tradition of buying big (net spending has been low in recent years). In the midfield, although Nico Gonzalez joins and Rodri is about to recover from injury, Kovacic (30) and Gundogan (33) are getting older. The latest news shows that Manchester City is close to signing AC Milan's high-profit midfielder Tejani Rendez (the biggest midfielder scorer in the top five leagues this season) at a high price. The right-back position also needs to be strengthened: Kyle Walker has little hope of returning after loaning Milan in January, young player Rico Lewis and midfielder Nunes have performed mediocrely in the position this season, with Newcastle's Liframento and Flamenco's Wesley entering the radar range.

Chelsea: Priority to strengthening goalkeeper/centre-back/forward

It is always difficult to predict the Blues' transfer trends. The club has finalized the signing of Brazilian prodigy Estewan (17 million euros) and Portuguese sports midfielder Dario Essugo (3 million euros), who will join this summer; there is also a sister club Strasbourg central defender Mamadu Saar (20 million euros) to come to the future. Although he participated in the competition for Whisen, he lags behind Real Madrid. On the front line, the plan to find a competitor for Jackson continues to advance, and there are rumors with Ipswich's Liam Drapp (Manchester City's loan forward) and Naples' Osimhen. The goalkeeper's position needs to be upgraded urgently: Although Robert Sanchez has a great pounce, he makes frequent mistakes, which restricts the team's prospects for the championship.

Manchester United: Priority to strengthening the forward/midfielder

The Red Devils performed much lower than expected this season (the 16th place in the Premier League is abnormal). New coach Amorin is expected to receive signing support to adapt to his unique system. Key reinforcement areas include: center, front midfielder and midfielder. Although Amorin hopes to reunite with former Portuguese sportsman Giocres, he may switch to Manchester City's out-of-loan striker Drapp (asked £40 million) due to the fiscal fairness bill. Wolves Brazilian attacker Mattus Cunia (25 years old) is close to joining for £60 million and can serve as the film forward. In the midfield, Atlanta core Ederson (24) has long been rumored to have affair with Manchester United, which can provide vitality for the aging Casemiro (32) and Erikson (32).

Tottenham: Priority to strengthening the winger/midfielder

Due to focus on the Europa League final, rumors of Tottenham's transfer are relatively quiet. The first task is to buy out Bayern winger Terr (with a buyout clause of 50 million euros on loan, and it is rumored that Bayern is willing to sell it at a lower price). Brennan Johnson's performance was not up to expectations, and Son Heung-min grew older (32 years old), so he needed to add to the wing. Potential targets include West Ham's Kudus and Liverpool's frustrated winger Chiesa (only 2 goals in Anfield's 26 career games). In terms of midfield, Portuguese sports captain Hejurmand (valued at 45 million euros) has entered the field of vision, and the Denmark international can improve the hardness of the midfield.
