So let’s take a look at how the Top 4 from the season just gone could line their attacking players up next season, based on their squads and transfer news since the season finished.
Manchester City.
With transfer rumours flying around at the Etihad and reported motions set in place for bids on the likes of Harry Kane and Erling Haaland, and also rumoured departures of players like Raheem Sterling. This is how the Citizens could be looking next season. Scary.

When talking about their transfer activity in the summer, Man City Chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak said:
"We will bring quality into the squad in a couple of key positions.”
Manchester United
Ole’s red devils have shown keen interest in Borussia Dortumund starlet and winger Jadon Sancho. The English international has a good relationship with a few in the United dressing room through international duty, most notably Marcus Rashford. This is how Manchester United’s attack could look next season:

Rob Dawson, a Manchester United correspondent for ESPN, spoke about the Sancho transfer and how it nearly happened last summer:
“it [the Sancho move] is attainable”
“the fee was the major sticking point last summer”
“things look clearer for United and their finances seem more secure”
“there is a fair chance it may happen.”
Jack Cristian, a Manchester United fan and admin of a United news page on twitter (@theutdjournal) spoke about the prospect of signing Sancho and insisted the move is in the works by saying:
“Sancho is obviously happening. News breaking out almost every hour only a matter of time before we agree with Dortmund on a fee.”
Chelsea
To build on their UCL win and progress under Thomas Tuchel, Chelsea must bring in an esteemed finisher as Werner made the highlights reel for misses for than anything else last season.
The Blues look towards young superstar Erling Haaland, the Norweigan international is their primary focus this summer, according to reports, and winning the Champions league will certainly help them in a bid to land one of Europe’s hottest prospects. This is how the Blues will look next season in attack:

Jan Aage Fjoroft, a retired footballer and an ESPN media representative spoke on Chelsea’s pursuit of Haaland and said:
“Chelsea are working to get Erling Haaland.”
“He is seen as the “missing” player to make them challenge for the PL-title next season.”
Liverpool.
Liverpool have eyed moves for young striker Patson Daka, Raphinha from Leeds United after a promising debut season and Youri Tielemans from Leicester City
In a best case scenario where all transfer interests are met, Liverpool’s attack is already monstrous and all of these moves seem to be for squad depth apart from Tielemans coming in to replace Georgino Wijnaldum, as his contract at Anfield has reached an end.
