Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool or Man United spent heavily in the summer of 2023. Let’s look back at what they bring to their team
10. Matheus Nunes
Nunes, a midfielder from Wolves, was acquired by the Premier League winners for almost £54 million, and so far, things are looking well at the Etihad.
9. Romeo Lavia
Chelsea paid more than 54 million pounds for Lavia and unfortunately the former Southampton midfielder has to treat an ankle ιnjury, causing him to be sidelined until the end of November.
8. Sandro Tonali
The Italian midfielder immediately made an impact at St. James’ Park with a goal in his debut match against Aston Villa. Tonali has had a steady start to life in the Premier League following his £55m transfer. But recently, Tonali was accused of illegаl betting activities. If convicted, Tonali could face a lengthy ban.
7. Mason Mount
There’s no denying that Mount had a difficult final season with Chelsea. He did not have a good start with the Red Devils, but was still worthy of their expectations when spending 56 million pounds to bring him to Old Trafford.
6. Dominik Szoboszlai
The Hungarian midfielder is a great addition to Jurgen Klopp’s team. After a £61 million transfer from RB Leipzig, Szoboszlai quickly adapted and was very popular at Anfield as he carried the image of the legendary Steven Gerrard.
The Hungarian captain brings the great energy that Klopp desperately needs to Liverpool’s midfield to complement Mac Allister’s physical shortcomings.
5. Kai Havertz
Many people had to question when Arsenal spent 65 million pounds to get Havertz from Chelsea. And indeed, the German international’s performances so far have been inconsistent, although he has had a few moments of brilliance.
4. Rasmus Hojlund
Hojlund has not scored any goals in the Premier League, but has had eye-catching performances in the Champions League. The Denmark international’s early signs are promising and show why Man United spent £65 million to bring him from Atalanta.
His great energy helps Man Utd easily activate the pressing system
3. Josko Gvardiol
The second-most expensive defender in football history behind Harry Maguire, who cost an astounding 80 million pounds in 2019, Gvardiol joined Man City for 78 million pounds.
The 21-year-old youngster frequently lines up on Man City’s left wing. He quickly shown his potential, and the Premier League is expected to see a long and prosperous career for him.
2. Declan Rice
Rice has proven himself to be a top performer while at West Ham and England. Much-sought-after 24-year-old midfielder Mikel Arteta has a reason to spend a club record fee of £100 million, plus an additional £5 million in add-ons for him.
Despite his hefty price tag, Rice has received plenty of praise for his impact at the Emirates so far.
1. Moises Caicedo
Chelsea spent more than 400 million pounds on rookies this summer, of which their most expensive addition was Caicedo. The former Brighton midfielder costs up to 100 million pounds, plus 13 million pounds in add-ons.
Caicedo is highly sought after after an impressive season with Brighton and a move to Chelsea makes sense as they have just lost players like Mount, N’Golo Kante and Mateo Kovacic. Despite a rather uneven start at Stamford Bridge, the 21-year-old player has matured with each match.
