The transfer window has shut in the Premier League, producing a lot of drama, surprises and mouth-watering deals before its closure. Like their European rivals, English clubs participated brilliantly in transfer activities this summer, acquiring a number of incredible superstars and sending fantastic messages across the division.
Merseyside outfit, Liverpool, emerged as the winners of the transfer window in the English top flight, spending a whopping £170 million and signing amazing superstars including the likes of Fabinho, Alisson Becker, Xherdan Shaqiri and Naby Keita.
It is evident that the competition will produce a lot of excitement this season, with these incredible signings looking to entertain us with their amazing talents during the campaign. Therefore, we take a look at 5 new recruits that will set the division ablaze with their fantastic abilities this term:
#5. Richarlison
Brazilian winger, Richarlison left his native club, Fluminense and completed a move to Watford in the Premier League last year. After impressing in his debut campaign in the English top flight, the attacker earned a massive move to join fellow EPL club, Everton this summer.
The Brazilian has been in sensational form ever since the campaign began and he will continue tormenting opposition defenders in the English top flight with his electrifying pace, amazing dribbling skills, and incredible goalscoring knack.
#4. Alisson Becker
The Brazilian was one of the best goalkeepers in the world last season, producing a lot of amazing performances for the Seria A outfit.
#3. Jorginho
Former Napoli midfielder, Jorginho was all set to join Manchester City in the Premier League this summer after Pep Guardiola made public his interest in the player. Even though the Italian eventually moved to the English top flight, his proposed move to the Etihad Stadium never materialized as the player decided to link up with his old manager, Maurizio Sarri at Chelsea instead.
Resuming his role as the fulcrum of Sarri’s midfield, Jorginho has had a great start to his career in the Premier League. He has been playing at an incredible level, controlling play from the middle of the pitch and helping his teammates to adapt to the manager’s system.
Such is the impact of the player that Chelsea have found it easier to play an attractive brand of football, winning all their 3 matches in the competition so far. With that kind of an influence, there is no doubt the 26-year-old will run riot in the English top flight during the campaign.
#2. Naby Keita
Such is the incredible talent of Guinean superstar Naby Keita that Jurgen Klopp was willing to wait for a year to acquire his services – despite finalizing a deal with RB Leipzig for the transfer of the player in January.
#1. Riyad Mahrez
A transfer to Manchester City failed to materialize for Algerian winger Riyad Mahrez in January, but the attacker later completed his dream move – leaving Leicester City for the Premier League champions in a deal worth €68 million this summer.
Having established himself as one of the finest attackers in the English top flight for the past few years, the 27-year-old is expected to run riot under Pep Guardiola at the Etihad Stadium this season.
