The transfer window is the most exciting time for football fans all over the world. This is the time of the year where clubs reinvest in their players and attempt to add quality to their squads.
With millions splashed around already in this transfer window, we look at the top ten new boys that you must keep an eye on in the upcoming season.
10. Rodrigo Moreno
The record signing for Leeds United this season, Rodrigo made the switch to Yorkshire from Valencia. The Spanish forward is sure to add great quality and is one to watch this season. Add to that the fact that he is under Marcelo Bielsa, and you have exciting times ahead.
9. Sandro Tonali
Dubbed “the new Pirlo” by the Italian press, Tonali will don red and black as he plays for Milan this season. Milan are one of the biggest rivals of Juventus and it will be interesting to see how the former Brescia man performs at the San Siro.
8. Jude Bellingham
Jude Bellingham is the most expensive 17-year-old in the world right now. The youngest player to feature and score for Birmingham City made the move to Germany for €26.50 million. It will be exciting to see how the young English midfielder fares at Dortmund, one of the best clubs for the development of young footballers in all of Europe.
7. Gabriel Magalhaes
Arsenal signed Lille defender Gabriel for €26.00 million in the current transfer window. One of the best young centre backs in all of Europe, Gabriel will provide some well-needed reinforcement to Arsenal’s backline. In addition, he can also link up well with native Brazilian David Luiz and can learn a lot from his experience.
6. Ferran Torres
Valencia must be under tremendous financial pressure at the moment. They’ve sold Rodrigo, Danny Parejo, Francis Coquelin and one of their brightest young stars in Ferran Torres and have no new arrivals.
Nevertheless, Ferran Torres only recently made his debut for Spain and under fellow Spaniard Pep Guardiola, he has the chance to make a name for himself playing for Manchester City, one of the biggest clubs in Europe right now.
5. James Rodriguez
Recent reports from Spain have brought to light that Everton has signed the former Real Madrid star for less than a bag of chips. The only catch being that his former club get a portion of the sum from any future sales. Linking up with Carlo Ancelotti for the third time in his career, James Rodriguez will be one to watch as he attempts to revive his career after being starved for minutes at the Bernabeu.
4. Achraf Hakimi
Another former Real Madrid man, Achraf Hakimi signed for Inter after completing a two-year loan spell at Dortmund. The young wing-back under Antonio Conte is a match made in heaven, and we can only wait and see how the Italian tactician manages to get the best out of the young Moroccan starlet.
3. Donny van de Beek
Manchester United‘s only summer signing till now, Donny van de Beek will add some much-needed depth to the Man United squad. After impressing at Ajax, the move to a big club was beckoning the Dutch international now we know that Old Trafford is where it’s at. Van de Beek will provide an extremely tough competition to Bruno Fernandes and Pogba for the playmaker role in midfield.
2. Leroy Sane
After missing out on the 19/20 campaign completely, Leroy Sane has a point to prove. Fans can only dream of the blistering pace on Bayern‘s left-wing, with Alphonso Davies and Leroy Sane in the same squad. For all we know, Sane is set to win a treble in his first season in Bavaria given the squad he’s a part of.
1. The Chelsea Boys
It would be unfair to include five Chelsea signings in the list, so we decided to compress all of them into one.
Chelsea have done some fantastic business in the transfer market this season with the deals of Timo Werner, Hakim Ziyech, Ben Chilwell, Malang Sarr, Thiago Silva and Kai Havertz already over the line. If that wasn’t enough, they’re also targeting Declan Rice and Eduoard Mendy of Rennes after over 200 million pounds already spent.
These are exciting times to be a Chelsea fan, and we can only wait and see how well the new boys fare at Stamford Bridge.
