Time is running out for teams to make a splash in the summer transfer window. With the shopping period set to close next week and a flurry of late activity expected in the coming days, we highlight one player that Europe's top clubs should be targeting at the 11th hour.

Premier League

Arsenal: Pedro Neto

Club: Wolverhampton Wanderers – Position: Winger – Value: €32M

Arsenal, enjoying their best start to a Premier League season since 2004, can keep the good vibes going with one more splash in the transfer market before the window closes Sept. 1. With Nicolas Pepe, mercifully, on the verge of a loan move, another option out wide should be on the agenda for Mikel Arteta and the Gunners. Neto, 22, could prove very difficult to obtain on such short notice – Wolves would surely demand a handsome fee – but the exciting Portuguese winger would bolster Arteta's squad while fitting the club's ethos of procuring young talent with high upside.

Chelsea: Wesley Fofana

Club: Leicester City – Position: Center-back – Value: €40M

One of the summer's most protracted sagas needs a resolution, for the good of all involved. By all accounts, the 21-year-old Fofana wants to leave Leicester City; Brendan Rodgers has resorted to leaving him out of the squad amid rampant speculation over his future. And Chelsea, on the back of a rough start to the season, intend to be active before the deadline. Signing another central defender would allow Thomas Tuchel to continue utilizing his preferred back-three while simultaneously pushing the outstanding Reece James back to his best position at wing-back. Everyone wins.

Liverpool: Ismael Bennacer

Club: AC Milan – Position: Midfielder – Value: €33M

Jurgen Klopp won't openly question Liverpool's directors – he's been diplomatic when discussing transfer matters this summer – but it's clear he'd appreciate having another midfielder at his disposal, particularly as injuries mount and James Milner's age finally begins to show. Jude Bellingham remains the dream signing for next summer, it seems, but presenting a tempting offer to AC Milan for Bennacer would be wise. One of the game's most underrated players, the Algerian conductor could slot in immediately and help the Reds recover from a poor start to the campaign.

Manchester City: Raphael Guerreiro

Club: Borussia Dortmund – Position: Left-back – Value: €25M

He may claim that Sergio Gomez was signed with the intention of playing first-team minutes this year, but if you offered Pep Guardiola the opportunity to add a more seasoned left-back to his team, he likely wouldn't protest. If Joao Cancelo were to be sidelined for any reason, Manchester City would suddenly look far less menacing. Guerreiro could help alleviate that concern. The 28-year-old doesn't offer the same unique attacking output as his compatriot – almost nobody can – but he's a forward-thinking left-back who's tactically flexible enough to occupy various spaces on the pitch. He can also tuck into central areas in possession, which is a staple of Guardiola's teams.
