Manchester United signed England midfielder Mason Mount from Chelsea for a reported fee of 55 million pounds ($70 million) on Wednesday. Mount, who agreed a five-year contract, said he "can't wait to be part of this group's drive to win major trophies" at Old Trafford. The 24-year-old graduated from Chelsea's youth academy and made 129 Premier League appearances, scoring 27 goals.
Arsenal are set to sign Chelsea forward Kai Havertz after reportedly agreeing a 65 million pounds ($82 million) fee for the German on Wednesday. Havertz will be allowed to discuss contract terms and undergo a medical at Arsenal after their London rivals accepted the lucrative offer. The 24-year-old has emerged as a top target for the Gunners in recent weeks as they look to improve a squad that finished second in the Premier League last season. After three inconsistent years with Chelsea, Havertz is on course to become Arsenal's first signing of the close-season.
Bournemouth announced they had hired Andoni Iraola as their new manager just hours after the shock sacking of Gary O'Neil on Monday. Iraola agreed a two-year contract with the Premier League club following the expiry of his contract with Spanish side Rayo Vallecano. The Spaniard's move to the Vitality Stadium came as a major surprise after O'Neil's impressive work in keeping Bournemouth in the English top flight last season.
Brentford have completed the permanent signing of Germany forward Kevin Schade for a club-record fee reported to be around 20 million pounds ($25 million). Schade joined the Premier League club on loan from Bundesliga side Freiburg in January and has now signed a five-year contract. The 21-year-old made 19 appearances for Thomas Frank's team, who finished ninth in the English top-flight.
Qatari banker Sheikh Jassim Bin Hamad Al Thani has submitted an improved fifth and final bid for Manchester United and wants an answer by Friday. Sheikh Jassim is in a bidding war with British billionaire Jim Ratcliffe after the pair emerged as the main contenders to buy the Premier League club. United announced in November that the board was exploring "strategic alternatives to enhance the club's growth", with a full sale one of the options. Current owners, the Glazer family, are understood to value United at £6 billion ($7.5 billion) and the Raine Group was brought in to oversee the process.
Chelsea hired Mauricio Pochettino as their new manager on Monday as the Argentine accepted the daunting task of reviving the troubled Premier League club. Pochettino agreed a two-year contract with an option for an additional year and will return to the Premier League four years after being sacked by Chelsea's London rivals Tottenham. The 51-year-old had been out of work since being dismissed by Paris Saint-Germain in July 2022.
Leicester were relegated from the Premier League just seven years after a spectacular title triumph as Everton prolonged their 69-year stay in the English top flight by beating Bournemouth 1-0 on Sunday. Leeds will also return to the Championship after three seasons in the Premier League as their relegation was confirmed by a 4-1 defeat to Tottenham. Abdoulaye Doucoure was Everton's hero after the French midfielder smashed home from the edge of the box on 57 minutes to spark jubilant celebrations around Goodison Park.
Aston Villa will play in Europe for the first time in 13 years after Sunday's 2-1 win over Brighton sealed their place in next season's Europa Conference League. Unai Emery's side secured a seventh-place finish in the Premier League thanks to first-half goals from Douglas Luiz and Ollie Watkins on the final day of the season at Villa Park. Villa's long-awaited return to continental competition was a fitting reward for Emery after the Spaniard's impressive impact since taking over from the sacked Steven Gerrard in October.
