The new Premier League season will kick off in the early morning of August 16, with the opening match being played against Bournemouth at home by the last champion Liverpool. This summer, the Premier League has fully utilized its strong financial resources in the World No. 1 League. The giant teams such as Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester City, Chelsea, and Manchester United have been buying and buying, making the Premier League attract more and more attention in the new season.

It is not easy for Liverpool to defend its title, and Arsenal is eyeing it. Last season, Slott won the Premier League championship in his first season in coaching Liverpool, becoming the perfect successor to the meritorious coach Klopp. For example, in order to reward Slot, Liverpool, who has been stingy in the transfer market for many years, has abnormally introduced four strong players, Wilz, Ekitic, Korkz and Flynnon, which has spent 294 million euros.

Wilz also announced at a press conference that Liverpool has signed 18-year-old Italian central defender Leoni from Serie A powerhouse Parma, and is waiting for official announcement. Leoni's transfer fee is about 35 million euros, and Liverpool's recruitment investment this summer has reached 329 million euros. That's not all. Liverpool has been trying to introduce Newcastle's Swedish center Isaac, and the summer transfer window will be closed on September 1, and nothing is possible until then.

Liverpool spent 125 million euros to introduce offensive midfielder Wilz and urgently introduced Leoni, preparing for the offensive core Salah and defensive core Van Dijk to be older, but in this transition period, it is facing fierce competition from many giant teams, so it is quite difficult to defend the title in the new season.

As the runner-up of the Premier League in the past three seasons, Arsenal's signing operations this summer are very pragmatic, introducing center Yorke, midfielder Suvimendi, winger Maduaike, midfielder Nolgao and central defender Mosquera. While hoping to improve scoring efficiency, it also significantly strengthened the depth of the bench. Compared with Liverpool, which sold Diaz, Nunes, Arnold, Kanssa and others to earn 200 million euros, Arsenal's bench depth is more prominent and has stronger ability to deal with multi-line combat. Arsenal won the Premier League championship last time in the 2003-2004 season. It is possible that the Premier League championship drought will be broken as soon as 22 years. Head coach Arteta needs to convert the pressure of missing the Premier League championship for many years into motivation.

Yorke has great achievements in Arsenal. Can Manchester City and Chelsea make a comeback?

As a former four-game champion in the Premier League, Manchester City performed poorly last season, and the reconstruction work has actually begun this year's winter transfer window. Manchester City invested 218 million euros in the winter window this year, introducing powerful players such as Marmush, Niko, and Kusanov. This summer, Manchester City continued to increase its troops, spending 177 million euros to introduce Reindez, Ait Nuri, Cherki and Trafford.

Donnarumma is expected to join Manchester City

Manchester City has shown a strong interest in Donnarumma, one of the best active goalkeepers who fell out with Paris Saint-Germain. Donnarumma was "disliked" by Paris Saint-Germain coach Enrique because of his poor footwork. Manchester City coach Guardiola and Enrique's concept of passing and controlling football are in line with each other. Although some people are worried that Donnarumma will not meet Guardiola's requirement for goalkeepers to make a goal, Guardiola seems to be very confident in integrating "money" into his tactical system.

Manchester City also hopes to continue to strengthen its winger position, and to meet Rodrigo, the "key man" who made great contributions to Real Madrid's elimination of Manchester City in the Champions League. Real Madrid's offer for Rodrigo is close to 100 million euros. In order to raise funds, Manchester City may need to sell winger Savignho to Tottenham.

Chelsea urgently "shakes" during the Club World Cup this year. Brazilian striker Joao Pedro, who joined the Brighton line, was in a state of great strength, helping Chelsea win the first new version of the Club World Cup. Chelsea also introduced center Drapp, right winger Estewan, left winger Gitense, all-around defender Harto, and also very interested in Manchester United winger Garnacho. As the new Club World Cup champion who beat Paris Saint-Germain 3-0 in the final, Chelsea has become a strong contender for the Premier League championship in the new season.

Manchester United piled up the "ten moves" of strikers and Newcastle

The overall strength of the Premier League is too strong. In addition to a few traditional giants, there are many teams with the opportunity to compete for the Champions League tickets, which has caused extremely fierce competition among mid-range teams.

Manchester United and Tottenham both found that they could not win the UEFA Champions League ticket through the league ranking last season, so they both hoped to "save the country on the curve" and obtain the UEFA Champions League ticket this season through their identity as the UEFA Champions League champion. Tottenham beat Manchester United in the UEFA Cup final and obtained the UEFA Champions League ticket this season as the embarrassing identity of ranking 17th in the Premier League, while Manchester United ranked 15th in the worst Premier League history.

Cunha in Manchester United's pre-season training

Although he was unable to participate in the European game this season, Manchester United still relied on his traditional status as a giant in the transfer market, introducing three forwards, Cesco, Mbemo and Cunha this summer, and the cost of signings has reached 230 million euros. Manchester United scored only 44 goals in 38 league games last season, becoming one of the worst Premier League teams in terms of attack power. Manchester United has to solve the problem of low scoring ability in the new season. It is not enough to rely solely on building forwards, and it also needs to strengthen the midfield. Manchester United has targeted Brighton's Cameroonian iron-waisted Baleba, but it is likely to be hit hard by Brighton.

Newcastle won the League Cup last season and also received a ticket to the Champions League this season as fifth in the Premier League. But this summer, Newcastle became the most embarrassing team in the transfer market, launching pursuit actions against ten well-known players, but they were all rejected. Newcastle interprets the new artistic conception of "Ten Movements". The top ten famous players who reject Newcastle are Drapp, João Pedro, Ekitic, Sesco, Trafford, Mbemo, Visa, Wyson, Kudus, and Guy.

Newcastle not only has difficulty introducing new players, but it may also be difficult to retain last season's Premier League Silver Boot winner Isaac. The Swedish center did not participate in the team's preparations for the Asian Tour in the new season, and has continued to "strike" recently. Newcastle will eventually let Isaac go to Liverpool, which may play a decisive role in the overall trend of the Premier League championship this season.
