The Club World Cup has sparked a number of early transfers and Manchester City and Chelsea are set to be particularly busy forming their squad for the tournament in the United States
Premier League clubs have already been very busy in the transfer window, which will - for the first time ever - open and close twice this summer. Due to the revamped Club World Cup, which begins on June 15, the window opened early on June 1 and will close on June 10.
It will then open again on June 16, before closing for the second time on September 1. A number of big moves have already been completed, with Manchester United notably spending £62.5million to sign Matheus Cunha from Wolves.
Liverpool have also signed Jeremie Frimpong from Bayer Leverkusen for £29.5m as a replacement for Trent Alexander-Arnold after he made the move to Real Madrid. Chelsea have strengthened their attack with the £30m addition of Liam Delap.
Plenty more deals could be concluded before the window shuts for the first time but the clock is ticking down. Chelsea and Manchester City in particular will hope to see deals get over the line in time for their trips to the US.
Mirror Football has taken a look at seven transfers that may be completed in the coming days.

Triple Man City swoop
Manchester City are yet to make any signings so far this summer, but deals for three players could be wrapped up soon. Pep Guardiola's team don't want a repeat of last season's results and hope to revitalise their squad.
AC Milan star Tijjani Reijnders is set to join in a £46.3m deal, having confirmed that a move is imminent while away on international duty with the Netherlands. "The medical? I couldn't wait to do it," he told Gazzetta.
"The plan is to take part at the Club World Cup with City. I'm really excited about that. Doing that means I'll get to know my new team-mates soon."

City have also agreed terms to sign Lyon star Rayan Cherki and Wolves defender Rayan Ait-Nouri, with both deals set to cost around £35m. The latter is also said to have undergone a medical, while Cherki's Nations League duties finished on Sunday as he helped secure France's third-place finish.
Speaking last week, Cherki confirmed a deal was pending. "It's getting done," he said.
"But you already know my answer, everybody knows. But there's still a game to play. Now we have to enjoy and give everything, but after it will be done."

Kepa to Arsenal
Kepa Arrizabalaga is on the verge of joining Arsenal in a cut-price deal. The Spaniard spent last season on loan at Bournemouth from Chelsea and has a £5m release clause in his contract.
The goalkeeper, who joined the Blues for £72m in 2018, signed a new deal at Stamford Bridge 12 months ago before joining the Cherries. That contract saw the introduction of a release clause as he took a pay-cut.
Kepa is keen to join Mikel Arteta's team to battle for his place against first-choice option David Raya.

Chelsea want two players for Club World Cup
Enzo Maresca's team are heading to the United States for the Club World Cup and could yet see deals get over the line. The west London side are closing in on the £15m signing of Mike Maignan from AC Milan and want the Frenchman to play in the competition.
The Serie A side had wanted £25m for the goalkeeper who is out of contract next summer. Personal terms are believed to already be agreed between player and club ahead of the move.
Chelsea also want to sign Borussia Dortmund star Jamie Gittens. The 20-year-old winger is said to have agreed a seven-year deal with the Blues.

A bid of £29.5m has been tabled, though it is some way short of Gittens' £50m release clause. The ex-Manchester City academy star has three years remaining on his contract, but the funds could help for Dortmund's activity in time for their own Club World Cup campaign.
Bellingham to Dortmund
Borussia Dortmund are moving to sign Jobe Bellingham from newly-promoted Premier League side Sunderland. A £31m deal has been agreed to see the 19-year-old join the side where his older brother, Jude, made his name.
Bellingham has been named in England's European under-21 Championship squad but could yet be released to play in the Club World Cup, if a deal is confirmed in time. Sunderland are set to receive £26.96m up front with a further £4.2m available in add-ons as Bellingham signs a five-year deal.
