The Premier League is in full swing with the transfer market and clubs are making significant moves to strengthen their squads for next season. Here we present the six most notable signings so far: Kai Havertz to Arsenal, James Maddison to Tottenham, Christopher Nkunku to Chelsea, Nicolás Jackson to Chelsea, Mateo Kovacic to Manchester City and Alexis Mac Allister to Liverpool.
The 6 biggest signings in the Premier League so far
-Kai Havertz to Arsenal: The German midfielder joined Arsenal from Chelsea in what became the most expensive transfer in Gunner team history. Mikel Arteta expressly requested the signing of him to strengthen the rotation in midfield and up front. At just 24 years old, Havertz will have the opportunity to become a key player in the growth of the team in the process of rebuilding.
-James Maddison to Tottenham: The English midfielder arrives in London after passing through Leicester City. The addition of him is vitally important due to his impressive performance in recent years, where he racked up 19 goals and assists last season in all competitions. Maddison is a perfect fit for Tottenham’s project and he is expected to bring creativity and quality to the midfield.
-Christopher Nkunku to Chelsea: The talented French attacker joins Chelsea from RB Leipzig on a €60m transfer. Nkunku has excelled in the Bundesliga in recent years and his arrival in the team led by Mauricio Pochettino promises to strengthen the offensive power with his goalscoring ability, dribbling and speed.
-Nicolas Jackson to Chelsea: The Senegalese forward arrives at Chelsea from Villarreal, where he was one of the most decisive players at the end of the LaLiga campaign. His signing seeks to strengthen the center forward position, an area where the team struggled last season. The owner of the club, Todd Boehly, continues to bet on young talents to consolidate Chelsea as a dominant team.
-Mateo Kovacic to Manchester City: The Croatian midfielder arrives at Manchester City to take the place left by Ilkay Gündogan, who joined FC Barcelona as a free agent. Kovacic was an express request from Pep Guardiola to strengthen the rotation in midfield, providing verticality, speed and dribbling skills. His experience and quality will be a great added value for the current UEFA Champions League champion.
-Alexis Mac Allister to Liverpool: The talented Argentine midfielder arrives at Liverpool after being an important piece in the Argentine team that was crowned 2022 World Cup champion and standing out at Brighton. His arrival in Jürgen Klopp’s team adds creativity and play between the lines, something Liverpool missed last season due to midfield injuries.
These signings have created quite a stir in the Premier League and are expected to make a big impact on their respective teams. With the transfer market still running, we are sure to see more exciting moves that will continue to shake up the English football landscape.
