5 BEST Transfers in the PL This Summer SO FAR

We have seen some brilliant deals flying through the doors in the Premier League amid a hectic summer transfer window. Today, we’re going to list five of the very best.

Picking out just five was a mountainous task. As such, we’d like to list a few honourable mentions before we get into our gold-standard quintet.

First of all, we must give mention to Chelsea’s acquisition of Morgan Rogers. Making the jump to Stamford Bridge, he proclaimed that Chelsea were the ‘biggest club in London’ upon his arrival (via Chelsea’s official website).

There is no doubting his ability, but this one failed to make the top five on account of the money spent. £117 million is a hell of a wedge – it is simply too much of a gamble for us to rank highly in a list such as this.

Much of the same can be said of Manchester City’s successful bid to sign England star Elliot Anderson. At £116 million, he was also extremely expensive, but it’s easy to see why the Sky Blues were eager to splash the cash when his monumental talents are taken into account.

Finally, we’d also like to give a shout-out to Jaidon Anthony, who was snapped up by Brentford from Burnley for £17 million. A highly underrated player in the Premier League last season, notching up ten goal contributions in total, this could prove to be a real steal.

Geovany Quenda – Chelsea (£43.5m)

At over £43 million, Geovany Quenda may have been a little expensive, but his potential in the modern game is almost without boundaries. At just 19 years of age, he is already amongst the best wing-backs in the world.

Scoring two goals and notching up five assists in 20 Liga Portugal games last season, he also scored two goals and racked up two assists in the Champions League for Sporting CP.

He is also incredibly adaptable. While he excels as a wing-back, he can play as a winger on either side, a left-back or even as an attacking midfielder.

Jan Paul van Hecke – Tottenham Hotspur (£52m)

You don’t need us to tell you just how catastrophically bad Tottenham were last season. The board have seemingly recognised this, spending liberally on transfers, with Jan Paul van Hecke being one of their most impressive signings thus far.

We were very impressed with Van Hecke’s performances for Brighton last season – so much so, we actually included him in our Premier League team of the season XI.

A very well-rounded modern defender, his ball-playing skills and raw defensive nous could make him an absolute superstar in North London.

Xaver Schlager – Nottingham Forest (Free)

Nottingham Forest lost their midfield engine when Elliot Anderson departed the City Ground to join Manchester City. Thankfully, they had a decent replacement waiting in the wings.

Xaver Schlager isn’t on Anderson’s level by any means, but he will certainly be able to plug the gaps he has left behind. Oh, and Forest signed him on a free transfer, too.

He was a key player for RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga last season, as they finished third in the Bundesliga table. As well as this, he was also part of Austria’s squad at the 2026 World Cup, starting in all four of their games and notching up an assist along the way.

Marcos Senesi – Tottenham Hotspur (Free)

Van Hecke was a brilliant transfer for Spurs, but they still had to pay a sizable fee for him. In the case of Marcos Senesi, they got him for absolutely free.

Calling this a bargain doesn’t really do it justice. Senesi was amongst the best centre-backs in the Premier League last season, leading Bournemouth to a sixth-placed finish in the league table.

The Lilywhites needed to shore up their defence, after shipping 57 goals in 38 games – bringing the Argentinian international on board will pay major dividends towards righting this wrong.

Harry Wilson – Leeds United (Free)

By far and away the best signing of the summer transfer window thus far. Harry Wilson was a creative force to be reckoned with for Fulham last season, scoring ten goals and racking up six assists.

Now, he plays for Leeds United and the Whites didn’t need to pay a single penny. We don’t really need to explain any further as to why this was an incredible piece of business.

It looks like Leeds are here to stay in the Premier League. Promoted clubs from the Championship often suffer from ‘second season syndrome’ – the West Yorkshire club aren’t showing any signs of this whatsoever.
