Barring injuries, Manchester City are well stocked in the midfield areas following the signings of Reijnders and Cherki, with Ballon d’Or winner Rodri also expected to return to full fitness in the coming months after suffering an injury setback at the FIFA Club World Cup in June.

Chelsea are still working on a deal for Xavi Simons, but there still isn’t an agreement with RB Leipzig according to Fabrizio Romano. The Blues have been busy this summer and have made four exciting signings in Jorrel Hato, Jamie Gittens, Liam Delap and Joao Pedro.
