Which strikers could be on the move this summer
Plenty of Premier League clubs are on the hunt for a new forward in the summer transfer window, but which players are likely to move?
Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham and Manchester United have been linked with attacking talent.
BBC Sport takes a look at the players who could be playing elsewhere this season.
Jonathan David
Current club: Lille Age: 24 Interested: Manchester United, Newcastle, Tottenham
Jonathan David is available for about £25m as he has only one year left on his contract, so he could be incredibly shrewd business for a Premier League club.
He is admired by Manchester United, Newcastle and Tottenham.
He is also seen as an alternative target for Chelsea should other deals fall through (more on those below).
Did you know? This summer David scored Canada’s first goal in Copa America history and helped them reach the semi-finals.

Victor Osimhen
Current club: Napoli Age: 25 Interested: Paris St-Germain
BBC Sport’s Nizaar Kinsella
The Napoli striker is struggling to garner much interest since a widely publicised £113m release clause was included in his contract.
Should that price drop, he could find a move to England.
Paris St-Germain and clubs in Saudi Arabia are also believed to have shown an interest.
Did you know? Osimhen has scored 48 goals in 71 games for Napoli in the past two seasons.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin
Dominic Calvert-Lewin may leave Everton if he doesn’t sign a new deal. The Englishman has an offer on the table from the club but has yet to agree terms, with one year left on his current deal.
Newcastle were most interested this summer but pulled out of negotiations over the near-£40m asking price, and the Toffees are under no pressure to sell any of their big-name players.
Did you know? Calvert-Lewin has scored 54 goals in 213 Premier League appearances since his debut in 2016.
Samu Omorodion
Current club: Atletico Madrid Age: 20 Interested: Chelsea
BBC Sport’s Nizaar Kinsella
Chelsea want a striker and Samu Omorodion appears to be their primary target.
The Blues had a £34m bid rejected last month but Atletico Madrid are keen to hold on to the Spaniard, who was on loan at Alaves last season.
Did you know? Omorodion scored eight goals in 34 La Liga appearances for Alaves last term.
Armando Broja
Current club: Chelsea Age: 22 Interested: Everton
BBC Sport’s Shamoon Hafez
If Dominic Calvert-Lewin does leave Everton then the Toffees may reignite their long-standing interest in Chelsea striker Armando Broja.
Although Everton said this year that there was no interest in the Albanian because they could not afford to spend £30m on players, the situation could change later in the summer if the takeover from the Friedkin Group goes through.
Did you know? Broja made his Premier League debut against Everton in March 2020, coming on for Olivier Giroud in a 4-0 win for Chelsea.
Who else could be on the move?
Brentford and England striker Ivan Toney frequently appears in BBC Sport’s gossip column and reportedly favours a switch to Manchester United.
Chelsea and Arsenal are rumoured to be interested in forward Alexander Isak, who has scored 31 goals in 52 league games for Newcastle since joining from Real Sociedad in 2022 for about £60m.
Crystal Palace and England forward Eberechi Eze has been linked with Tottenham, Liverpool, Manchester City, Arsenal, Chelsea and United.
In April Palace said they would not entertain offers of less than £60m each for Eze and Michael Olise, who joined Bayern Munich for about £50m this month.
European giants Paris St-Germain and Barcelona are reported to be considering moves for United’s England forward Marcus Rashford.
Rashford, 26, has scored 131 goals in 402 appearances for United since his debut in 2016.
City are rumoured to be interested in RB Leipzig’s Spain forward Dani Olmo, whose £50m release clause has expired.
Liverpool are keen on Newcastle forward Anthony Gordon, with Luis Diaz’s future at Anfield uncertain, while Tottenham are looking at Wolves’ Pedro Neto.
