Although the Premier League season starts at the weekend, the managers have by no means finished their business in the transfer market. Sir Alex Ferguson’s signing of Robin Van Persie from Arsenal shows that there’s plenty more still to come before the end of the month. Teams will already have their targets in place, or in some cases, chased them all summer to ensure they get the right men in to balance up their squads for the challenging months ahead.

The August transfer deadline always provides some last minute entertainment, just think back to Robinho’s move to Manchester City in 2008, announced just minutes before the window shut. Clubs will be hoping to complete their business a little earlier than that though and several deals are hanging in the pipeline waiting to be completed in order to finalise Premier League squads for the season ahead. We take a look at 15 deals that are likely to be completed before the transfer window shuts.
