Seven foreign stars set to join Premier League next season including record goal scorers and up-and-coming wonder kids. They are:

Erling Haaland: No transfer round-up would quite be complete without an Erling Haaland update. The striker is having another sensational season at Borussia Dortmund, scoring a Bundesliga goal every 72 minutes - but the Germans look set to lose him when a rumoured £68million release clause becomes active this summer.

Real Madrid are claimed to have pulled out of the race to sign Haaland, leaving Barcelona to compete with premier league  trio Manchester United, City and Chelsea for his signature. Erling Haaland has bagged a goal every 72 minutes in the Bundesliga this season.

Ronald Araujo: Man United and Liverpool are reportedly monitoring the situation of Barcelona ace Ronald Araujo. Xavi and Co are desperate to keep hold out of the Uruguayan defender, whose contract is set to expire in 2023.But if they can't agree terms, Araujo could be on his way to the premier league in time for next season.

Sven Botman: Sven Botman spent much of January linked with Newcastle United. The Toon failed to get a deal done for the Lille centre-back, but look set to try again in the summer despite signing Dan Burn from Brighton for £15m.They will likely have to compete with the likes of Liverpool, AC Milan and Spurs.

Jules Kounde: Chelsea were desperate to sign Sevilla defender Jules Kounde last summer, but couldn't agree terms with the LaLiga high-flyers. After missing out on the Frenchman, boss Thomas Tuchel was forced to turn to Trevoh Chalobah and Malang Sarr. But in bad news for the young duo, the Blues are set to go again for Kounde this time round.

Ousmane Dembele: Barcelona ace Dembele is set to leave Catalonia this summer after repeatedly rejecting new contracts. The Frenchman's stance has left club chiefs fuming, but will give him the power to control his own future come the summer. Chelsea have been most strongly linked with signing the winger, who worked with Tuchel at Borussia Dortmund.

Alexander Isak: Arsenal have been strongly linked with Swedish Real Sociedad hit man Isak. Gunners fans turned detectives thought that they were going to get their man in January, when the forward was spotted out in London.
