T4O looks at the 10 Best Signings Of This Season In The EPL
David Luiz
Chelsea re-signed the Brazilian defender from PSG on the deadline day to give the defence much-needed stability. There were doubts over his influence as the signing was some kind of a panic buy after Chelsea failed to land a notable defender in January.
But Luiz has been rock solid in the three-man defence. He is playing as the central defender among the three-man backline Conte has been using. He has used his physique and height well to deal with the aerial ability of the Premier League strikers.
Shkodran Mustafi
Arsenal bought the German defender from Valencia and he has adapted to the Premier League and has formed a formidable partnership alongside Laurent Koscielny to marshal the Gunners’ backline.
Joel Matip
Jurgen Klopp scalped this prized transfer absolutely free from Schalke. The defence has been a problem for the Reds as they often lost matches due to defensive errors. Matip has jelled well with Klopp’s free flowing passing football and has played a key role in his team.
N’Golo Kante
The midfield enforcer has played his part excellently this season. His ability to breaking up opponents attack and starting a counter has been beautifully utilised by Antonio Conte this season.
Victor Wanyama
Mauricio Pochettino brought the midfielder whom he knows from his Southampton days. A beast in the midfield, Wanyama has been a constant presence in the Spurs midfield and has acted as the shield just in front of the defence.
Marcos Alonso
He was also a deadline day transfer in the winter transfer window and since then has made the left wing-back position on his own. Conte has preferred to play with two wingbacks and Alonso has thrived in his maiden season.
Nathan Redmond
The Southampton winger has played pretty consistently this season and his performance has earned him an England call-up.
Leroy Sane
One of the most high-profile transfers for Manchester City this season. The youngster was brought from Schalke as part of Pep Guardiola’s strategy. He was initially struggling to get going in the Premier League but has found his form of late.
Sadio Mane
Liverpool splurged a whopping £34m to bring the Senegalese from Southampton and he has complimented his transfer fee by scoring 12 goals this term.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic
Manchester United managed to hijack the player from Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer and the 35-year-old has been the man in form for them. The lanky Swede has so far found the net 15 times for them and has been a real threat to oppositions with his brilliant hold up play and aerial threat.
