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?

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.
