More than a month has passed since the re-opening of Premier League transfer window and there are still four clubs, who have yet to make additions to their first-team squad.
Aston Villa, Everton, Leicester City and Manchester United have yet to announce any signings, but it is only a matter of time before they confirm player arrivals.
United are on the verge of landing Donny van de Beek from Ajax while Everton are expected to secure the signature of Allan from Napoli this week.
Elsewhere, Leicester are in advanced talks to land Atalanta’s Timothy Castagne while Villa are confident of winning the race for Nottingham Forest right-back Matty Cash.
