A couple weeks of league soccer have already taken place this season and I'll be giving a brief rundown on signings at big clubs around England
ARSENAL FC: Granit Xhaka (Borussia Monchengladbach, £30m) Takuma Asano (Sanfrecce Hiroshima, undisclosed), Rob Holding (Bolton, £2.5m), Lucas Perez (Deportivo La Coruna, £16.9m), Shkodran Mustafi (Valencia, £35m)
Asano and Nwakali were both sent out on loan, while Xhaka and Mustafi have both made positive start to life at the London club, with the Swiss midfielder contributing o
1 league goal. Holding was used at the start of the season but has so far been mostly as back up and domestic cup competitions. Lucas Perez has already scored 2 goals for his new side in the EFL but none in the league, he's also been on the sub bench on a couple of occasions and made one start in the league.
CHELSEA FC: Michy Batshuayi (Marseille, £33m), N’Golo Kante (Leicester, £30m), Eduardo(Dinamo Zagreb, undisclosed), Marcos Alonso (Fiorentino, £23m), David Luiz (Paris Saint-Germain, £30m)
Chelsea have once again loaned out a large number of players this season and other than Kante and David Luiz, none of their other new signings are starters in the league. Batshuayi has made some impact off the bench while Marcos Alonso has only made one cameo appearance.
EVERTON FC: Bassala Sambou (Coventry, compensation), Chris Renshaw (Oldham, undisclosed), Maarten Stekelenburg (Fulham, undisclosed), Idrissa Gana Gueye (Aston Villa, £7m), Yannick Bolasie (Crystal Place, £25m), Ashley Williams (Swansea City,£12m)
Ashley Williams has formed a formidable partnership with Jagielka, while Stekelengurg, Gueye and Bolasie have all been exciting at their new side.
LEICESTER CITY: Ron-Robert Zieler (Hannover 96, £6m), Luis Hernandez (Sporting Gijon, free), Raul Uche Rubio (Rayo Vallecano, undisclosed), Nampalys Mendy (Nice, £13m), Ahmed Musa (CSKA Moscow, undisclosed), Bartosz Kaputska (KS Cracovia, £7.5m) Islam Slimani(Sporting Cp, £28)
Mendy kinda looks like kante with a little bit more hair but that's by the way, he hasn't contributed as much as his french compatriot but has had his moments. Ahmed Musa hasn't scored any goal yet and will probably see his game time reduced with Slimani already finding his feet and Okazaki ahead in the pecking order. Zieler, Rubio and Kaputska haven't made any impression in the league so far while Hernandez has looked comfortable at Leicester.
LIVERPOOL:Joel Matip (Schalke, free), Loris Karius (FSV Mainz 05, £4.7m), Sadio Mane(Southampton, £34m), Ragnar Klavan (Augsburg, £4.2m), Alex Manninger (Augsburg, free), Georginio Wijnaldum (Newcastle, £25m)
Mane and Wijnaldum have made instant impacts in the squad and have looked very comfortable(scary at times) under Klopp's management while Karius made his first appearance in the league for the Kop against Hull, he was relatively untested so it's hard to decide if he's an upgrade or not. Klavan and Matip are also the preffered defensive pairing.
MANCHESTER CITY: Ilkay Gundogan (Borussia Dortmund, £22.5m), Nolito (Celta Vigo, undisclosed),Oleksandr Zinchenko (FC Ulfa, undisclosed), Aaron Mooy (Melbourne City, free), Leroy Sane (Schalke, £37.5m), John Stones (Everton, £47.5m), Gabriel Jesus (Palmeiras, undisclosed) Marlos Moreno (Atletico Nacional, undisclosed), Claudio Bravo(Barcelona, £14.5m)
Nolito started the season brightly and was a regular in the line up but has recently been on the bench due to tactical tweaks rather than poor form. He definitely is going be involved in everything City do this season. Gundogan has also looked at home under the Spanish tactician and has already had his name on the score sheet while Sane has had to settle for the odd substitute appearance. Claudio Bravo takes the number spot vacated by Hart. John Stones has also benefited immensely from Pep's brand of football and is a regular in the line up.
MANCHESTER UNITED: Eric Bailly (Villarreal, £30m), Zlatan Ibrahimovic (free), Henrikh Mkhitaryan (Borussia Dortmund, £26m), Paul Pogba (Juventus, £89m)
The spotlight seems to be firmly on Pogba everytime United play this season but prior to adding the most expensive player to their ranks, Zlatan joineed on a free transfer, while Baily and Mkhitaryan were also added to their ranks. Zlatan and Bailly seem to be instant hits while it's taken Pogba sometime(due to being super expensive) but he's coming around. Mkhitaryan is taking some time to settle in.
TOTTENHAM: Victor Wanyama (Southampton, £11m), Vincent Janssen (AZ Alkmaar, £18.8m),Georges-Kevin NKoudou (Marseille, £11m), Moussa Sissoko(Newcastle United, Undisclosed)
Spurs were relatively quiet in the transfer window but managed to add dsome decent players to boos their midfield ranks. Wanyama was reunited with the man hat brought him into the EPL while Moussa has been a squad player. Janssen was usually on the substitute bench but with the Injury to Harry Kane, it's expected that the Dutch International will certainly have more game time.
ARSENAL FC: Granit Xhaka (Borussia Monchengladbach, £30m) Takuma Asano (Sanfrecce Hiroshima, undisclosed), Rob Holding (Bolton, £2.5m), Lucas Perez (Deportivo La Coruna, £16.9m), Shkodran Mustafi (Valencia, £35m)
