Ranking the best Premier League signings of the summer.
A look at the best Premier League signings of the summer transfer window so far – where does Raheem Sterling rank after his £49m move to Manchester City?
10) James Milner (Liverpool)
Not the most exciting signing in the word, but for a free transfer James Milner should prove an excellent addition by Liverpool this summer, particularly as they needed a ready-made replacement for Steven Gerrard in midfield.

9) Aleksandar Mitrovic (Newcastle)
One of the best young strikers in Europe, the signing of Aleksandar Mitrovic for Newcastle United is a potentially brilliant buy for the Magpies as they look to get back into the top half of the table.
8) Roberto Firmino (Liverpool)
A superb talent who has shone in the Bundesliga in recent years, Roberto Firmino is an exciting purchase for Liverpool, though he looks a little overpriced at £29m. Hopefully the price tag won’t affect him negatively.
7) Raheem Sterling (Manchester City)
One of the most talked about players this summer, Raheem Sterling eventually joined Manchester City in an exciting £49m deal, though that fee surely makes him one of the most overpriced players of recent times.
6) Bastian Schweinsteiger (Manchester United)
Perhaps slightly over the hill, United fans won’t be too bothered as they bring in German World Cup-winning midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger from Bayern Munich to help fill what has long been a problem position.
5) Toby Alderweireld (Tottenham)
One of the best defenders in the Premier League last season with Southampton, Toby Alderweireld did not make his loan move to St Mary’s permanent, allowing Tottenham to pounce for the Atletico Madrid man in a superb piece of business.
4) Memphis Depay (Manchester United)
Hailed as ‘the Dutch Cristiano Ronaldo’ by some, Memphis Depay joined United for £30m from PSV and already looks a class act who could really flourish in Louis van Gaal’s new-look side.
3) Christian Benteke (Liverpool)
One of the Premier League’s top strikers, Christian Benteke has serious potential to be one of the buys of the summer after joining Liverpool to give them exactly what they need up front.
2) Petr Cech (Arsenal)
In need of a new goalkeeper, Arsenal have signed the perfect player in Petr Cech, raiding their bitter rivals Chelsea in the process just to make it sweeter, and this calibre of player at the back could make all the difference for the Gunners in the title race.
1) Morgan Schneiderlin (Manchester United)
A close call between him and Cech, Morgan Schneiderlin tops our list of best Premier League signings of the summer. The Frenchman was absolutely immense for Southampton last season and has all the qualities to succeed at a big club like Manchester United, who have long needed a defensive player of his ability.
