Jul 16, 2012 7:25:00 AM

Brazil are set to face Team GB on Friday evening with a host of stars on show, while the likes of Ajax, Twente and Borussia Dortmund are also making appearances

The summer transfer window is in full swing and Premier League clubs are weighing up their options as they look to strengthen ahead of the new season.

Below is Goal.com's seven-day guide so you can check the progress of a number of Premier League targets who are in line to get some playing time this week...

MONDAY

Benfica face Lille on Monday and two reported Manchester United targets are poised for pre-season action. Axel Witsel has been linked with a host of clubs this summer, including Sir Alex Ferguson's side, while winger Nicolas Gaitan has also been tipped with a move to Old Trafford.

Mathieu Debuchy, who has been targeted by Newcastle United, will not feature for Lille as he returns from holiday on Monday after France's Euro 2012 campaign.

TUESDAY

Arsenal have been linked with a host of defensive midfielders this summer, most notably Yann M'Vila, but another reported target, Etienne Capoue, will be in action for Toulouse as they take on fellow French side Nimes.

WEDNESDAY

Bundesliga champions Borussia Dortmund are in pre-season action against RW Erfurt which should see Robert Lewandowski and Jakub Blaszczykowski return to club action following their exploits for Poland at Euro 2012.

Lewandowski was quick to play down any talk of a move away from Dortmund during Euro 2012, despite being linked with a raft of Premier League sides including Arsenal, Tottenham and Chelsea, while Blaszczykowski revealed earlier this month that Liverpool were interested in bringing him to Anfield.

THURSDAY

Luuk de Jong will not be on show when Twente face FC Inter of Finland in one of many Europa League qualification fixtures on Thursday, but the Dutch side boast a number of other players worth watching.

De Jong has completed his switch to Borussia Monchengladbach but winger Nacer Chadli, who has been linked to Fulham in the past, could feature while Newcastle United are reported to be admirers of Brazilian defender Douglas.

FRIDAY

Team GB begin their Olympic preparations against one of the tournament favourites, Brazil, at Middlesbrough's Riverside Stadium on Friday in a match televised live on BBC One (kick-off 19:30).

A host of Premier League transfer targets are likely to feature for Mano Menezes' side including Hulk, who has insisted he has not entered negotiations over a move to Chelsea.

Oscar has also been tipped with a move to Stamford Bridge after Roberto Di Matteo's side outbid Tottenham in order to push through a deal and Internacional's 20-year-old midfielder is set to be on show against Team GB.

Manchester United are in the hunt to sign Sao Paulo's 19-year-old starlet Lucas Moura and the midfielder is also likely to make an appearance on Brazil's flank.

Speculation regarding Ganso's future continues to mount and the 22-year-old, who has been linked with both Arsenal and Tottenham, could ramp up his valuation with an impressive tournament.

SATURDAY

Alan Dzagoev is fresh off the back of an impressive individual display for Russia at Euro 2012 and is set to keep Tottenham's reported interest high as CSKA Moscow take on FK Rostov.

Lewandowski and Blaszczykowski are set to be in action for the second time within a week as Dortmund face Nurnberg in a friendly.

Celtic midfielder Ki Sung-Yueng, who has been in contact with QPR over a potential move, is also poised to feature against Ajax, who could feature Christian Eriksen.

SUNDAY

Another of Arsenal's reported defensive midfield targets Lucas Biglia is in action as Anderlecht face Lokeren in the Belgian Super Cup.
