Taking into account the fee, how they have performed in their short time with their new club and how much they are expected to make an impact, we have boldly decided to rank each Premier League team’s summer signings. Nottingham Forest’s should take a while.
All transfer fees are taken by Transfermarkt.
Arsenal
1) Gabriel Jesus – £47m
2) Oleksandr Zinchenko – £31.5m
3) Marquinhos – £3.15m
4) Fabio Vieira – £31.5m
5) Matt Turner – £5.7m
Gabriel Jesus is a game-changer for the Gunners. One of the best signings of the summer and with every passing big-money transfer, £47m looks a bargain. Oleksandr Zinchenko is a superb footballer and has settled in nicely. Marquinhos has looked good for the under-23s and you can’t go wrong at a little over £3m.
While they should have added more in the transfer window, it has still been a decent one for Arsenal.
Aston Villa
1) Boubacar Kamara – free
2) Leander Dendoncker – £13.5m
3) Jan Bednarek – loan
4) Diego Carlos – £28m
5) Philippe Coutinho – £18m
6) Robin Olsen – £3.15m
7) Ludwig Augustinsson – £450k loan fee
It’s a right shame Villa’s marquee summer signing ruptured his Achilles; there aren’t many worse injuries you can sustain.
Coutinho hasn’t been great since returning to England and Dendoncker might be benefitting from recency bias, but he is a decent acquisition.
Bournemouth
1) Neto – free
2) Marcos Senesi – £13.5m
3) Joe Rothwell – free
4) Ryan Fredericks – free
5) Jack Stephens – loan
6) Marcus Tavernier – £10.7m
This won’t be enough to keep them up, surely? Unless Gary O’Neil turns out to be the new Pep Guardiola.
Brentford
1) Ben Mee – free
2) Aaron Hickey – £14.85m
3) Keane Lewis-Potter – £17.1m
4) Mikkel Damsgaard – £13.5m
5) Thomas Strakosha – free
Ben Mee was a slightly unexpected signing made by the Bees, but a brilliant one considering he came free of charge. The order of the rest was difficult to determine, but I’ve obviously got it spot on.
Brighton
1) Billy Gilmour – £9m
2) Pervis Estupinan – £16m
3) Levi Colwill – loan
4) Julio Ensico – £10.8m
5) Simon Adingra – £7.2m
Gilmour strikes me as a perfect player for Brighton. He is a tidy footballer and Albion are a tidy football team. Estupinan has impressed already and Colwill is brilliant. The other two are unknown quantities, but Ensico has Seagulls fans excited.
Chelsea
1) Raheem Sterling – £50.6m
2) Wesley Fofana – £72m
3) Kalidou Koulibaly – £34.2m
