It's ramping up now with Gana due, the Onana news and now reports of Coady. If we pull those deals off then – striker aside we have a squad with a bit of depth.

I’ve not included Rondon, Gbamin and Gomes as options because they are all absolutely useless.
I will be amazed if Mina makes half our games this season and I’m sure we’d sell him and probably one of Keane or Holgate if we had an offer.
We desperately need another striker and ideally one that can operate out wide because Townsend won’t be back this side of the world cup (Iwobi can fill in there too) and Dom is unlikely to be back before mid-September (assuming it’s a smooth recovery).
I do wonder if, knowing Chelsea will only allow Broja out on loan we’ve decided to put that money towards other areas like Onana. I still wouldn’t be surprised if we saw Batshuayi come in on a free too.
good squad but a bit bloated. Absolutely no need for 6 CB's, i'd bin Keane and/or Mina. Within CM bin Allan and Davies too. And Dele cannot be classed as a ST having never played as one in his career.
Despite all that, there's a real concerning lack of creativity in there. Not convinced any of those CM's have good passing on them.
