The transfer window opens in just two weeks and plans are already being made, scouts already preparing reports and managers hoping to bring new players in.
Paul Pogba's future at Manchester United is up in the air, while Eden Hazard has been linked with Real Madrid.
Arsenal need another centre back after losing Rob Holding and Tottenham could look to bolster.
Liverpool may need another option at the back while the rest of the Premier League will be looking to tweak what they've got.
Memphis message to Jose
Memphis Depay has now revealed he told Jose Mourinho he would prove him wrong upon moving to Lyon.
Depay was allowed to leave Manchester United after failing to hit the heights expected.
“When I left, I said to Mourinho ‘you will see me at the top'," Depay told The Times.
"He said ‘OK, I hope that and I hope we will buy you back one day. I never had a bad relationship with him.”

Everton are lining up a January swoop for RB Leipzig star Jean-Kevin Augustin.
The Toffees have struggled in front of goal of late with Cenk Tosun off form.
And Marco Silva is targeting a move for Leipzig star Augustin, according to the Sun.
But Everton have been told their No. 1 target will cost a staggering £38m.
Evra set for Man Utd return
Patrice Evra is expected to return to Manchester United.
But not as a player.
The Sun say club sources expect the Frenchman to return to Old Trafford.
And the fact he has delayed the release of his autobiography suggests it is only a matter of time.
Davis wants Rangers return
Steven Davis wants to return to Rangers after Ovie Ejaria was sent back to Liverpool.
Davis has played just twice this season for Southampton and is keen to move on and get playing again.
The 33-year-old was brilliant for Rangers during a four-year spell where he captained the club.
And he's keen on a return to help the Steven Gerrard revolution.
Arsenal want Pavon deal
Arsenal are lining up a £40m swoop for Boca Juniors star Cristian Pavon.
Unai Emery needs reinforcements after Danny Welbeck's injury and with Aaron Ramsey and Mesut Ozil's futures uncertain.
According to the Sun Pavon is on the radar.
But the winger will cost around £40m.
Man Utd moves backed
Manchester United need defenders but their current ones have to step up the mark too, says 1999 Champions League winner Henning Berg.
“Everybody knows, and [Jose] Mourinho has said many times, that he wants to buy central defenders and he hasn’t been able to get the ones he wanted to this summer,” Berg said.
“He got the ones he wanted to earlier, but maybe not this summer. They need improvement, they need to play better as a team defensively.
“It’s not only about the two or three defenders, it’s about the whole team.”
Pogba wants move
Paul Pogba wants to join Barcelona or Real Madrid.
That’s according to the Mirror, who say he would jump at the chance to move to Spain.
Jose Mourinho has grown fed up of the Manchester United star.
But whether he is granted his wish remains to be seen.
Liverpool deal hailed
Virgil van Dijk was a £75m BARGAIN in the eyes of Roy Keane.
“Outstanding,” Keane said of the Liverpool defender.
“When they bought him you thought ‘that’s a lot of money’. Now it looks really cheap.
“The key to him, whatever he has done, he has made the players around him better.
“That’s what great players do. He’s made the other players around him better.”
Pogba deal
Manchester United want to sell Paul Pogba in January and are eyeing a swap deal with Juventus.
The Mirror report that United would like either Miralem Pjanic or Alex Sandro as part of a deal to flog Pogba back to his old club.
Pogba and Jose Mourinho's relationship has broken down and he appears destined to leave.
And they will now look to sell in January.
Arsenal Suarez talks
Arsenal are in talks with Barcelona over a deal for Denis Suarez.
Barcelona have offered the midfielder to a host of clubs, including Arsenal.
However Arsenal need to land a defender next month as the priority and are unlikely to sign Suarez unless Aaron Ramsey moves on when the window opens.
Ramsey has six months left on his deal but is keen to stay until the summer.
