Emiliano Martínez from Aston Villa to Chelsea for €8.75 million
The best transfer in the Premier League this summer, according to The Athletic and many other football media outlets. Chelsea haven’t had a top-class goalkeeper since Thibaut Courtois, and the start of the new season has only served to reaffirm the need to part ways with Robert Sánchez. The Blues signed the star goalkeeper of Aston Villa and the Argentina national team for a fee that is very modest by modern football standards, filling a problem position just before the transfer window closed.
Emiliano Martínez is 34 years old, and he is returning to London – not to Arsenal, but to Stamford Bridge. The Argentine has the experience, charisma and passion to become Chelsea’s first-choice goalkeeper for at least a few seasons.
Bruno Guimarães from Newcastle United to Arsenal for €87.5 million
Tottenham paid nearly €210 million for Sandro Tonali and Mateus Fernandes, Manchester City spent €280 million on Elliot Anderson and Enzo Fernández, while the Gunners signed one of the league’s best central midfielders for just €87.5 million. Bruno Guimarães has extensive experience in the Premier League and a perfect balance of qualities: he can win the ball back, launch his team’s attacks, set up his teammates and score crucial goals. The Brazilian may become the final piece of the jigsaw for Mikel Arteta, helping Arsenal to win the Champions League for the first time in their history.
Elliot Anderson from Nottingham Forest to Manchester City for €135 million
The Citizens replaced Rodri with a talented Englishman who emerged as one of last season’s top discoveries in the Premier League. They have started the league campaign with three wins, and Elliot Anderson’s consistent performances are a strong asset in the title race. The 23-year-old midfielder isn’t afraid of the responsibility or his star predecessor’s shadow, which is still hanging over the Etihad stands. Anderson has integrated seamlessly into Maresca’s system and, alongside fellow newcomer Enzo Fernández, has the potential to form one of the strongest midfield duos in European football.
Bradley Barcola from Paris Saint-Germain to Liverpool for €125 million
The Reds are sparing no expense on transfers for the second summer running. They have once again pulled off one of the most expensive deals in their history to bring a new star winger to Anfield. Barcola cannot be described as a direct replacement for Mohamed Salah, but the Frenchman has the potential to become just as important a player in the team’s attack. This season, Liverpool haven’t been shortlisted as contenders for the Premier League or Champions League trophies, but if Andoni Iraola’s side do manage to exceed the expectations of fans and experts, the star newcomer will surely play a major role in that.
Morgan Rogers from Aston Villa to Chelsea for €138 million
This summer, the Blues broke records again. Morgan Rogers’s move to Stamford Bridge became the most expensive transfer of an English footballer in history. For many, such status prevents them from performing at their best, but Rogers isn’t one of them. Morgan scored in his very first match for Chelsea and upset Arsenal in his debut London derby. He also provided an assist in the game against Brighton.
The attacking trio of Cole Palmer, João Pedro and Morgan Rogers makes the Blues a dark horse in the title race.
