A transfer target for each Premier League club before the window closes
Posted on 01 August 2018.
With one week to go before the transfer window closes on 9 August, who should the 20 Premier League clubs sign? Unai Emery has already made five signings – Lucas Torreira , Bernd Leno , Sokratis , Mattéo Guendouzi and Stephan Lichtsteiner – so may settle for what he has.

With around half the division in danger of falling into the Championship, we analyse which clubs have the most to fear West Brom look to be a write-off even though their fixture list seems relatively favourable.

Stoke, by contrast, are improving, seemingly energised by Paul Lambert, some astute January signings and an in-form Xherdan Shaqiri. The fear…

His Burnley counterpart eventually ensured it cost West Ham and the points were shared in a game some …
