Fans from all 20 Premier League clubs share their deadline day requests

Arsenal

Jamaal Lascelles looks perfect as a long-term replacement for Laurent Koscielny. The Newcastle player would strengthen our defence and could be a future captain. If not him, Domagoj Vida will do – but not at £25m. Basically, we should sign any centre-back who will ensure that Shkodran Mustafi no longer sees the starting XI. We should sell Joel Campbell. Fraser Knox

Bournemouth

Chris Mepham, a 20-year-old Wales international, has been on Eddie Howe’s radar for a while now and I’m hopeful we can sign him before the deadline. Mepham seems comfortable with the ball at his feet and is able to play it from the back, which is a must for our style of play. Playing with three central defenders means we need good coverage, and I’m hopeful he will eventually replace the ageing Simon Francis. Although £15m seems excessive for his current experience, there is plenty of room for him to grow. It’s probably time to sell Harry Arter. He is a true legend at Bournemouth who had a great debut Premier League season, but he now seems behind Dan Gosling and Andrew Surman in the pecking order, and the arrival of Jefferson Lerma and David Brooks only lessens his opportunities. It would be good to cash in while we can, although if he goes in Cardiff we need a clause to stop him playing us in the season opener. Jack Clarke-Williams

Brighton & Hove Albion

We find ourselves slightly short of cover at centre-back, having lost both Connor Goldson and Uwe Huenemeier over the summer. Leon Balogun looks like an able replacement but an injury to him, Lewis Dunk and Shane Duffy will leave us short in the position, so it is important to bring in another centre-back. Liam Moore was the standout player for Reading last season and looks like he could be capable of providing more than cover. Oh, and he’s handed in a transfer request, which helps.

Burnley

We need to sign Jay Rodriguez from West Brom and another midfield player – we really would need two new players. We should sell Jeff Hendrick, who doesn’t really add anything when he comes on. Megan

Cardiff City

A striker: Álvaro Negredo
A midfielder: Harry Arter
A right-back: Matteo Darmian
Alexander

Chelsea

If we’re playing “Sarri-ball” we need passers, which is why the Mateo Kovacic talk is welcome. A midfield comprised of three from N’Golo Kanté, Jorginho. Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Ross Barkley and Kovacic should be a match for most. We also need a striker who can score a goal or two, but the board have left it far too late (again) and anyone brought in will be done in an unedifying scramble. We should sell Danny Drinkwater and Tiémoué Bakayoko. Lucas Pollard

Crystal Palace

We should buy Maximilian Philipp from Borussia Dortmund. He is a versatile striker with a lot of pace and technical skills who would combine well with Wilfried Zaha and Andros Townsend. Nico Szmolinsky

Everton

Are we really going to go into this season with Phil Jagielka as our best centre-back? Please, please let us sign Yerry Mina and give our ageing defence an injection of youth. With him and Lucas Digne, we’ll have the beginnings of a tiki-taka revolution. We should sell Yannick Bolasie. Matt

Fulham

Considering how great the partnership on the left flank between Matt Targett and Ryan Sessegnon was in the second half of the season, bringing Targett back would be the ideal final signing. In our last friendly we played Sessegnon at left-back, where he is perfectly capable, but it would be better to see him further up the field where he has been making a name for himself and winning awards. Chris

Huddersfield Town

We should bring in Danny Ings and sell Scott Malone.

Leicester City

We need a proven winger to replace some of the flair and goals Riyad Mahrez gave us. Thorgan Hazard is continually discussed on forums. Demarai Gray and Fousseni Diabaté are so inconsistent, so someone who could provide 10 goals and 10 assists would be huge. We could also do with another centre-back who could provide cover for the first team, or better yet, improve it. Depending on who comes in, the club could potentially cash in on Harry Maguire, who seems to have increased his price by £30m by playing against some rank average teams at the World Cup. If the club could get Lascelles or one of the Manchester United defenders not fancied by Joseé Mourinho, they should seriously consider cashing in on a player who will never be worth this much again. We still have a bloated squad so Islam Slimani, Leonardo Ulloa, Matty James, Andy King, Nampalys Mendy could be moved on. Jacob

Liverpool

We should sign Nabil Fekir, can unlock defences the way Philippe Coutinho did. Naby Keïta is dynamic, Fabinho is powerful and both Jordan Henderson and James Milner are hard-working, but Fekir would add the vision, guile and finesse Liverpool will need when they come up against teams that sit deep and defend. He also scores plenty of goals, which would make him an option up top should any of the front three need a rest. If we don’t sign him, Chelsea or United will. In terms of who we should sell, this may be controversial, but the self-proclaimed “best defender in the world” would be the first to go on my list. Despite Dejan Lovren’s decent World Cup performance and his newfound consistency when played alongside Van Dijk at Liverpool, he represents the Liverpool of the past few years: just short of the standard required and always capable of a calamity. If we are serious about pursuing a title, this is the time to be ruthless. Naji Bakhti

Manchester City

We have needed back-up at defensive midfield for a couple of years, even more so now Fernandinho is 33 and Jorginho has jumped ship to Chelsea at the last minute. Fernandinho is still an absolute rock, but he can’t play all the big games this season and we need somebody young and agile. We’ve been linked to Marco Verratti, Mateo Kovacic and Julian Weigl all summer. I’m not too worried though, because some of the youngsters have really impressed in that position in pre-season and Pep Guardiola says Ilkay Gundogan and Fabian Delph could also fill in. I fully trust his decisions. We shouldn’t sell anyone. Shiven Mian

Manchester United

Without a doubt, we should sign Toby Alderweireld. Harry Maguire would be a fantastic addition after making the step up to Leicester last season but I’d need to see what he’s like in his second season before justifying spending £65m on a defender who’s had one good campaign. We should move on Matteo Darmian, Phil Jones and Marcos Rojo (if Alderweireld joins). Eric Jay

Newcastle United

We need to sign Amanda Staveley and sell Mike Ashley. Nick Amann

Southampton

We should sign Paco Alcácer. Whatever it takes, we need a goalscorer. I’d sell Fraser Forster. Will Purdue

Tottenham Hotspur

Since selling Gareth Bale, Spurs haven’t had a player who can run with the ball for long distances and then beat a player in the final third. Son Heung-min is of that type but he is too inconsistent and often makes poor decisions in big games, so I would love to see Wilfred Zaha in a Spurs shirt. He has the physical attributes Pochettino values; he seems to have matured since rejoining Palace; and he would offer something different to the players we have. We should get rid of Danny Rose. If he doesn’t want to play for Spurs, just sell him and be done with it. James Berry

Watford

Priority No1 is a striker and Paco Alcácer ticks all the boxes. His numbers have been great for both Valencia and Barça. It would also be a huge coup for the club, much like when we signed Roberto Pereyra from Juventus. Alcácer could make a huge difference if we are to push for the dizzying heights of seventh place in the Premier League, or even an exciting cup run. In terms of moving players on, I’d take £10m for Troy Deeney and I still don’t know why we need three left-backs. José Holebas or Marvin Zeegelaar are welcome to leave. Russell

West Ham United

We need a holding midfielder. One of Danny Drinkwater, Maxime Gonalons or Thiago Maia would do. And we should sell Edimilson Fernandes. Johannes

Wolverhampton Wanderers

If the mooted deal for Leander Dendoncker goes through, it will be a perfect signing for us. Now that Alfred N’Diaye’s loan deal has ended and Romain Saiss seems to be playing in defence, we are lacking the required midfield muscle to support Rúben Neves or João Moutinho as they pull the strings. Other than that, a cheeky late bid for Milan striker André Silva would go down well with Wolves fans! We should sell Danny Batth; sadly our club captain is not up to the challenge. Alex Stackhouse
