Mikel Arteta started with a Pablo Mari while Jurgen Klopp made a whole host of signings for Mainz. Thomas Tuchel has the biggest signing.
Mikel Arteta
First Arsenal signing: Pablo Mari (from Flamengo, 2020)
Most expensive career signing: Thomas Partey (Atletico Madrid to Arsenal for £45m, 2020)
First career signing: Arsenal loaned Pablo Mari in January 2020, signed him permanently for £6.8m that June and loaned him to Udinese this winter, with a view to selling him for whatever they can squeeze out of suitors in the summer. He will probably end on 19 appearances for the Gunners.
Steven Gerrard
First Aston Villa signing: Philippe Coutinho (from Barcelona, 2022)
Most expensive career signing: Lucas Digne (Everton to Aston Villa for £25m, 2022)
First career signing: Making Scott Arfield and Allan McGregor the first signings of your career within two May days of each other, not even a fortnight after your Rangers appointment was made official, is proper.
Scott Parker
First Bournemouth signing: Emiliano Marcondes (from Brentford, 2021)
Most expensive career signing: Ivan Cavaleiro (Wolves to Fulham for £15m, 2020)
First career signing: Before Fulham handed £15m over to Wolves for Championship stalwart Ivan Cavaleiro, Parker tried the winger on loan. Six months was enough to convince them. He has scored six goals and claimed one assist in 72 league games since joining permanently.
Thomas Frank
First Brentford signing: Bryan Mbeumo (from Troyes, 2019)
Most expensive career signing: Kristoffer Ajer (Celtic to Brentford for £13.5m, 2021)
First career signing: Good eye for a keeper, that Thomas Frank fella. Lukas Hradecky joined Brondby as a free agent in 2013. Five years later he was in the Bundesliga team of the season and he is Bayer Leverkusen’s current No. 1.
Graham Potter
First Brighton signing: Matt Clarke (from Portsmouth, 2019)
Most expensive career signing: Enock Mwepu (Red Bull Salzburg to Brighton for £20m, 2021)
First career signing: Back in 2011, the first signing made by Potter at Ostersunds was of Georgian goalkeeper Besarion Kodalaev, a player so obscure that he has a silhouette as his picture on Transfermarkt. He never played for Ostersunds but is still kicking around lower-league Swedish football, keeping a clean sheet last week for third-tier FC Trollhättan.
Thomas Tuchel
First Chelsea signing: Marcus Bettinelli (from Fulham, 2021)
Most expensive career signing: Kylian Mbappe (Monaco to PSG for £165.7m, 2017)
First career signing:…
