00:00With the new Premier League season fast approaching, clubs across the country are making decisive moves in the transfer market.
00:09From the calm confidence of Leeds United to the urgent rebuild at Everton, there's a buzz of ambition across every level.
00:17For Tottenham and Sunderland, the market has brought frustration but also opportunity.
00:23Starting with Spurs, a high-profile chase for Morgan Gibbs-White dominated headlines.
00:28The Nottingham Forest playmaker was close to signing, with a medical even scheduled, before Forest accused Spurs of an illegal approach.
00:37That derailed the deal and led Gibbs-White to signing a new contract until 2028.
00:43Spurs now look at Crystal Palace's Eberici Eze as a marquee target, ready to activate their £68 million release clause.
00:51On Merseyside, Everton are short both on numbers and experience.
00:55David Moyes has made no secret of a need for at least six new arrivals.
01:00And Jordan Pickford echoed the urgency following a 3-0 pre-season loss to Bournemouth.
01:05With just a few additions so far, fans at Goodison Park are hoping for a late flurry of signings to bolster depth and competition.
01:13Their business has so far been black and white in comparison to their neighbours at Anfield.
01:18Sunderland, back in the top five, are targeting leadership.
01:22There is a personal agreement with Granit Xhaka, but Bayer Leverkusen boss Eric Ten Hag is blocking the deal.
01:29Having already sold key stars, Leverkusen refuse to let Xhaka go, despite the players' desire to return to England.
01:35Leeds United, by contrast, are quietly assembling a promising squad.
01:41German midfielder Anton Stack is impressed in pre-season and bids for Brazilian winger Igor Paxao show clear intent.
01:49Combined with the signings of Lucas Perry and Sean Longstaff, Leeds look determined to stay in the Premier League with a balanced and technical approach.
01:58As the transfer window ticks towards its close, these clubs are laying the groundwork not just for survival, but for success.
02:06The drama isn't done yet, but one thing's certain, this Premier League season is shaping up to be an unforgettable one.
