Opta Profile: Marc Guehi - the next part of Liverpool's spending spree?
The new Premier League season starts tonight and club’s are looking to finalise any deals for new signings.
Manchester United have spent big on new forwards and have their sights on PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma and Brighton midfielder Carlos Baleba . First they will need to make some sales with Jadon Sancho being targeted by Besiktas and Roma, Antony wanted by Benfica and Chelsea interested in Alejandro Garnacho.
Liverpool, meanwhile, have agreed a fee with teenage defender Giovanni Leoni as they hope to bolster their defence. The club also remain in talks with Crystal Palace over Marc Guehi and the London side may want to cash in before his contract expires next summer. The Reds still hold an interest in Alexander Isak , who is trying to force a move away from Newcastle, but they will need to spend big money to secure him.
Marco Asensio had some bright moments on loan at Aston Villa during the second half of the season and Unai Emery may be in for the Spanish creator again.
The Telegraph believe that Villa are exploring the possibility both of another temporary switch and a permanent deal.

Liverpool remain in talks with Crystal Palace for Marc Guehi as they look to add to their defensive line.
The Reds must decide whether to submit a bid for Guehi this summer or wait until his contract runs out at the end of the upcoming season before making a move for the defender.
The Daily Mail report that Crystal Palace want £45m for Guehi but, due to the expiring nature of his contract, a deal for around £35m may be possible as they risk losing out on a fee if his contract runs down.
Alternatively, there is talk of a potential swap deal involving Harvey Elliott.
Eberechi Eze is being targeted by Arsenal and Spurs and should he leave to one of those clubs then Palace may want to bring Elliott, who is rumoured to be leaving Liverpool, in as a replacement with Guehi going the other way.
