Teams will have until September 1, 2025 to sign players before the window closes until January 1, 2026. That means the 2025 summer transfer window is open for over two-and-a-half months.

Another player linked heavily with Arsenal is RB Leipzig forward Sesko, with the Slovenian having come close to a Premier League move last summer before deciding to stay in Germany. At 21, Sesko fits the age-profile that has become Chelsea’s transfer signature and he appears certain to leave Leipzig this summer.
