Chelsea’s new full-back, Newcastle’s Anthony Gordon replacement and 10 Premier League transfers you may have missed during the World Cup
In terms of statement, big-name signings, Newcastle’s transfer window once again hasn’t exactly gone to plan. The Magpies have been pipped to a number of key targets for the second successive summer after their nightmare in 2025, including Victor Munoz, who joined Liverpool, and the aforementioned Manzambi, who has signed for Aston Villa.
The Tynesiders have, however, gone about adding a number of highly-rated youngsters to their squad, with the most significant outlay going on Hoffenheim’s Ivorian winger Bazoumana Toure. Newcastle coughed up a massive £43m ($57m) to land the 20-year-old, who racked up 12 assists in Germany last season and formed part of an exciting Ivory Coast squad at the World Cup behind fellow breakout Bundesliga star Yan Diomande.
Toure was swiftly followed into St James’ Park by 18-year-old Ajax midfielder Sean Steur, who cost £23m ($31m) himself.
