Five Premier League players who need a move in the summer transfer window

The summer transfer window is open, for a second time! The rumours and speculation have been ramping up these past few weeks, so we’ve picked out a few Premier League players who could do with finding a new club.

Five Premier League players who need a summer transfer

Marcus Rashford – Man Utd

If we’re being honest, we could have included any number of Manchester United players here. Leaving Old Trafford is good for one’s career, as Marcus Rashford himself proved in the second half of last season.

After being a one club man for his entire career, the wide forward joined Aston Villa on loan in January following a falling out with manager Ruben Amorim. He looked a man reinvigorated and went on to register five goal involvements in ten Premier League appearances.

Having showed he still has plenty to offer at 27 years of age, there might be a club out there who can provide Rashford with an exit route out of a toxic United.

Jack Grealish – Man City

It’s been quite the fall from relevancy for Jack Grealish. Not so long ago he was the cream of British football, the darling of Villa Park who would go on to become the most expensive English player at the time.

The England winger played regular in his first season at Manchester City and the following campaign when they won the Treble. But his minutes have gradually diminished to a trickle since then and he wasn’t even on the plane for the FIFA Club World Cup.

A plan of his talent and ingenuity deserves to be playing week in, week out.

Darwin Nunez – Liverpool

There are few players who offer entertainment value quite like Darwin Nunez. He’s a ball of energy who can do remarkable things, good and bad in equal measure, on the pitch. That makes him a frustrating watch, but there is ability there waiting to be unlocked.

The Liverpool striker’s minutes were cut in half after Arne Slot replaced Jurgen Klopp, and the same thing happened to his shots per 90 numbers. It’s clear he isn’t an obvious fit in the Dutchman’s system, but surely there is some club out there willing to take a punt on him?

Christopher Nkunku – Chelsea

Given the sheer size of Chelsea‘s squad, one imagines that quite a few players will be looking for a way out of Stamford Bridge this summer.

Christopher Nkunku is likely to be among them after another frustrating season. His debut campaign for the Blues was interrupted by injury and, although he saw more action in 2024/25, he still failed to break 1000 minutes in the Premier League.

Chelsea have not seen the best of the French forward outside of the Uefa Conference League. Perhaps another club will.

Evan Ferguson – Brighton

No one could have predicted that Evan Ferguson’s career would have stalled the way it has following his spectacular hat-trick against Newcastle United in September 2023. The injury he sustained in that very game was the beginning of his problems.

The Republic of Ireland international struggled to stay fit thereafter and even when he was he didn’t get much of a look-in under Roberto De Zerbi. Fabian Hurzeler hasn’t seen much use for the striker since replacing the Italian in the Brighton dugout, so he was loaned out to West Ham United in January.

One the face of it, it appeared like a good move, but he only went on to make one Premier League after reuniting with Graham Potter. The Seagulls are not likely to let him go at a snip, but another loan move, perhaps this time to the Championship, would allow him to restart his career.
