5) Gareth Bale
Gareth Bale is back at Tottenham and it’s hard not to feel like his second spell could be as exciting as his first, even if the Welsh winger is clearly now past the peak of his powers.
It’s been a difficult few years for him at Real Madrid as he’s fallen out of favour, but as a loan signing for Spurs this season, he should be a relatively low-risk addition, and if he can find his feet again with a second stint in the Premier League, it’s going to be great to watch.
Bale up front alongside the in-form Harry Kane and Son Heung-min certainly has the potential to be an immense front three that could fire Tottenham back into the top four.
4) Timo Werner
One of the best young forwards in the world, Timo Werner hasn’t quite got going for Chelsea yet, but should prove a hit with time.
The Blues have signed some real duds up front in recent times, with Alvaro Morata, Gonzalo Higuain and Michy Batshuayi all proving hugely disappointing.
But in Werner, they’ve signed a genuine world class talent just as he enters his peak years, and once all the new signings at Chelsea settle, they should have one hell of a team.
3) Kai Havertz
Even more promising than Werner is fellow Germany international Kai Havertz, who has joined the club from Bayer Leverkusen.
Still only 21 years of age, Havertz has the world at his feet and looks to possess the best qualities of top players such as Mesut Ozil and Michael Ballack with his skill, vision and ability to score goals from midfield.
Chelsea fans will hope they finally have an ideal long-term successor for Eden Hazard, who has been badly missed since his move to Real Madrid last year.
2) Thomas Partey
A huge statement of intent by Arsenal, Thomas Partey is a genuine world class midfielder who looks capable of giving them everything they’ve been missing in that area of the pitch.
The Ghana international was a star player for Atletico Madrid and they’ll be gutted to have lost him, with Arsenal now surely back in contention for a top four spot this season.
The Gunners also strengthened well with the signings of Willian and Gabriel Magalhaes this summer, but Partey is undoubtedly the pick of the bunch and up there with the best buys we’ve seen anywhere in Europe in this transfer window.
1) Thiago Alcantara
In first place surely has to be Liverpool’s new midfield addition Thiago Alcantara, with the classy Spanish maestro arriving on the back of a superb treble win at Bayern Munich.
Alcantara has been a joy to watch with his range of passing for many years now, and he seems an ideal fit for this Liverpool team, who now have a potent new weapon in their side.
Most of Liverpool’s creativity has come from their attack-minded full-backs, but Alcantara gives them new spark in the middle and should mean they’re once again favourites for the Premier League title.
Indeed we gooners all over the world we’re excited to see partey at emirate stadium surely we could be in champions league sport next year season
