Joe Gomez, Jadon Sancho and Marc Guehi could be in line for the exit at their respective clubs this transfer window It's going to be a very busy couple of weeks. The transfer window closes in less than a fortnight and there are a number of players whose futures are uncertain to say the least. Where will Raheem Sterling be next month? Will Ivan Toney leave the Premier League? Are Arsenal going to add to their squad? We take a look at some of the players who could be on the move. Football Transfers Where else could we start? Raheem Sterling's Chelsea future wasn't really in doubt until an hour before kick-off for the Blues' opener against Manchester City on Sunday. His omission from the squad followed by a statement from Sterling's representatives seeking "clarity" about his role at the club suggests he may seek an exit. At just 29, the former Liverpool forward would surely be a wanted man? West Ham and Crystal Palace have already been linked with a potential move. He has made 81 appearances for Chelsea since joining from Manchester City for £50m in July 2022. It is little wonder there are signs of discontent at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea have spent about £185m on 11 signings this summer, leaving boss Enzo Maresca with a squad of more than 40 senior players. You can't keep everyone happy. Conor Gallagher's exit from the Bridge is surely still inevitable - although his move to Atletico Madrid remains on hold - while Ben Chilwell is another who could be looking for an exit after being left out of Sunday's squad. Other Chelsea players not involved in the Premier League's opening weekend include defender Trevoh Chalobah and midfielder Noni Madueke. With Maresca desperate to offload some of his squad, be prepared for a fire sale at Stamford Bridge over the coming days. Striker Romelu Lukaku is another Chelsea exit that could happen this month - yes, he is still on the Blues' books. The 31-year-old has spent the last two years on loan in Italy and is now wanted by Napoli - a swap deal for Victor Osimhen is one possible option being heavily mooted. Another potential newcomer at Chelsea to keep an eye on is Atletico's Joao Felix, with the Spanish club keen to include him in a deal for Gallagher. Confused? You get the feeling there are plenty more twists and turns to come at Chelsea before the window closes. Brentford boss Thomas Frank wouldn't quite say Ivan Toney had played his last match for the Bees, but it does appear pretty likely. The 28-year-old was left out of Brentford's opener against Crystal Palace after a £35m bid for him to join Saudi side Al-Ahli last week was turned down. When asked by BBC Radio 5 Live if it was a matter of when Toney leaves and not if, Frank added: "Yes, I guess that is fair. " Toney has been at Brentford for the past four years and scored 20 goals in 33 Premier League games in the 2022-23 season. He is out of contract this summer and has been linked with moves to the likes of Arsenal and Chelsea in the past - but a move to Saudi is now looking like the favourite. Will Marc Guehi still be a Crystal Palace in two weeks' time? No one has a clue at the moment. The Eagles have turned down three bids from Newcastle for the England defender, the latest being for about £60m. The centre-back captained Palace in their defeat by Brentford on Sunday, but it is not yet known whether Newcastle are willing to increase their offer. Wait and see with this one. If Newcastle do give up on their pursuit of Guehi, Liverpool's Joe Gomez is being touted as an alternative. The defender was left out of Arne Slot's first Premier League squad on Saturday and is now being heavily linked with a move away from Anfield. As well as Newcastle, Aston Villa, Fulham and Crystal Palace - as a possible replacement for Guehi - are reportedly interested in the 27-year-old. This one seems to be just a matter of time. Arsenal are in talks with Real Sociedad about signing Spain midfielder Merino. He was part of the Spanish side that won Euro 2024 and featured in all seven matches in the tournament, scoring a late winner against Germany in their quarter-final. The 28-year-old has less than one year remaining on his contract, which may help Arsenal to complete a deal as he would be able to speak to clubs about signing on a free transfer in January. Everton are keen to keep hold of their 22-year-old centre-back - but the transfer 'noise' is very loud. The Toffees have already rejected two bids from Manchester United for Jarrad Branthwaite earlier this summer, with the Old Trafford side having since signed Matthijs de Ligt from Bayern Munich. There are plenty of other sides being reported as ready to move though, with the latest link being to their city rivals Liverpool. There could be a couple of high-profile exits from Manchester United this summer. Jadon Sancho may be back at Manchester United, following last season's falling out with manager Eric ten Hag and subsequent loan move to Borussia Dortmund, but the question is for how long? Sancho wasn't involved in Friday's opener against Fulham and, with a number of injured players still to return, he may be wondering how many opportunities he is going to get. Another player being linked with a departure is Scott Mc Tominay after being left out of United's starting line-up in the win against Fulham. The Cottagers, Crystal Palace and Brighton are just a few of the clubs being reported as having an interest.
