It's a little less than a month until the new Premier League season kicks off on August 16 and clubs around England will be looking to get their preparations wrapped up in time for the 2024-25 season.
But a lot is set to happen between now and the first game of the season. While the dust is only just settling on what was an enthralling European Championship, and players are still returning from their summer holidays, the new season is fast approaching, with some teams already back in pre-season training.
Some players, like Jack Grealish, have been working on their own individual training regimes throughout the summer. His team-mate, Erling Haaland, meanwhile was snapped enjoying a lavish holiday on a super yacht, while other players like Ben Chilwell enjoyed a luxury beach holiday during the off-season.
But the hard work begins now. Teams will soon be setting off on pre-season tours to Asia, America and southern Europe, with Premier League clubs set to clock up approximately 190,593 miles (as the crow flies) travelling between games during the off-season.
But how does your club compare in the biggest travellers of the summer? Who is the most sustainable club and which newly promoted Premier League outfit is travelling the furthest?
Which clubs are travelling the furthest?
Manchester United lead the way as the club who will travel the furthest this summer, pipping Arsenal to the top spot, by amassing an approximate travel distance of 16,213 miles.
Erik ten Hag's side are one of several Premier League sides who are set to take part in an extensive tour of the USA, with Man United set to play the Gunners, Liverpool and Real Betis while they are Stateside.
Tottenham and Newcastle have been jet-setting all around the world this summer, with Eddie Howe and Ange Postecoglou's sides having already enjoyed a post-season tour of Australia, following the conclusion of the 2023-24 Premier League season.
Spurs rank third on the list, behind their north London rivals, Arsenal, and are set to travel approximately 12,827 miles, putting them ahead of Chelsea (12,612 miles), Brighton (11,970 miles) and Newcaslte (11,800 miles).
Premier League winners, Manchester City rank 11th in the table, just ahead of Crystal Palace and Liverpool, with Pep Guardiola's side also set to clock up around 9,795 miles when they travel to America this summer.
In the lower half of the table, Nottingham Forest and Brentford, who are set to clock up 5,278 miles and 4,101 miles, are each expected to spend time in southern Europe, while newly promoted side, Ipswich, will head out to Austria and Germany for several pre-season matches, clocking up 2,253.
Southampton and Leicester make up two clubs inside the bottom three with Leicester set to have a fairly quiet summer, travelling 1,388 miles.
Everton, meanwhile, sit bottom of the rankings and are the greenest club in the Premier League. They are expected to clock up 700 miles this summer, with a trip to Ireland to play Sligo Rovers being their only venture abroad.

They certainly have a busy month ahead, but will now travel to play QPR at Loftus Road having beaten Hearts at Tynecastle 5-1 on Wednesday.
Postecoglou's side will then fly out to Tokyo to play Vissel Kobe, before taking on a K-League XI at the Seoul World Cup Stadium in South Korea.

Ipswich - Distance: 2,585 miles
Back in the Premier League for the first time in 22 years, Ipswich will be looking to ensure they are ready and rearing to go for the new season.
Of the newly promoted teams, they are doing the most travelling, making a 2,585 mile round trip of all their pre-season matches, with Kieran McKenna's side set to take on Shakhtar Donetsk in Austria, Fortuna Dusseldorf at Portman Road, before taking on Borussia Monchengladbach in Munich and Hoffenheim in Austria.
They'll head back home to Portman Road to face off against OGC Nice before starting their Premier League campaign against Liverpool.

Everton - Distance: 700 miles
Perhaps the most sustainable club in the Premier League for their limited travelling this summer, Everton are staying close to home this summer, with Sean Dyche's side only set to cross the border to travel to Ireland to take on Sligo Rovers - Seamus Coleman's former club.
They'll then travel to play Salford, Coventry and Preston, before interestingly welcoming Roma to Goodison Park before the opening day of the season. It is an interesting move to host Roma at Goodison, particularly as the Toffees majority owner Farhad Moshiri is negotiating a deal with Dan Freidekin - the current owner of Roma - to buy a majority stake in the club.
