The transfer window runs from Friday, 14 June to Friday, 30 August
It may feel like the last Premier League season has only just finished, but planning for the next one is well under way and clubs can now officially make signings for the upcoming campaign.
That is because the English top-flight transfer window is now open, running from Friday, 14 June until Friday, 30 August.
There is another important deadline for clubs to consider before that, however.
Sunday, 30 June is the date by which clubs must show they are compliant with the league's profitability and sustainability rules (PSR).
Aston Villa, Newcastle and Leicester are among those thought to be under pressure to offload players by that date to help their balance sheets.
Everton and Nottingham Forest have faced points deductions this year for PSR breaches and will want to avoid facing the same fate.
With the window now open, BBC Sport's football journalists take a look at six possible moves to watch out for.

Julian Alvarez – striker, Manchester City
Since arriving at City two years ago, Alvarez has won the Treble, the European Super Cup, the Club World Cup, the Premier League this season and played in another FA Cup final. He has also won the World Cup with Argentina.
But the 24-year-old has never quite become a regular and with Erling Haaland as the established centre-forward, that is not going to change. Atletico Madrid and Bayern Munich have already been mentioned as having an interest.
City are good at selling players. If someone hits the right figure, Alvarez could easily move on.
Christian Eriksen – midfielder, Manchester United
The sight of Christian Eriksen scoring a superb goal in the Parken Stadium for Denmark 10 days ago was a reminder it is only three years since the midfielder collapsed and we all worried if he was going to survive, let alone play again.
He excelled at Brentford and was outstanding in his first season at Manchester United. Last season though, he didn't reach the same levels and the last of his 12 Premier League starts came in the 4-0 hammering at Crystal Palace on 6 May.
More than any other player, Eriksen knows his time in the game cannot be taken for granted and at 32, he may be more keen on spending time on the pitch rather than seeing out the final year of his contract.

Jonathan David – striker, Lille
The Canadian, 24, was the second-top scorer in France, behind Kylian Mbappe, and enters the last year of his contract after four sensational years at Lille.
Filip Jorgensen – goalkeeper, Villarreal
The 22-year-old Swedish goalkeeper is targeting a Premier League move this summer, with reported interest from Chelsea, Newcastle and Wolves.
Benjamin Sesko – striker, RB Leipzig
The Slovenian is being lined up by Chelsea and Arsenal but has recently signed a new contract, so the 21-year-old could be hard to prise away from German side Leipzig this summer.

Jarrad Branthwaite – defender, Everton
After missing out on a place in the England squad for the Euros, Branthwaite is back with Everton but for how much longer?
The 21-year-old is Sean Dyche's prize asset. The club's financial situation is public knowledge, but Everton have not had any offers yet for the centre-back and it would need a 'mega' bid to even consider selling the player.
It is understood Manchester United have already agreed personal terms with the player’s representatives and intend to speak to Everton once the window opens. But the Toffees are not keen on selling and would want in excess of £80m.
