As we reach the second international break of the season, take a look at the 10 best summer signings in the Premier League.
The summer transfer window saw gargantuan spending across the Premier League with the 20 clubs combining for around £3bn, and five players going for £100m+.
Some signings made an instant impact despite carrying sizeable transfer fees on their shoulders, with Morgan Rogers scoring on his debut, while the jury remains out on others.
After 10 rounds of Premier League football, bet365 News's Liam Williams and Ellis Statham have looked at the top 10 signings made over the summer.
10 - Ezri Konsa - £51m
Signing Ezri Konsa for £51m given he was 28 years old with two years to run on his contract seemed like a particularly indulgent signing for Arsenal, even more so considering the bountiful options Mikel Arteta already had in defence.
But with William Saliba's injury, Konsa has slotted into the heart of Arsenal's back line superbly, ensuring the Frenchman's absence hasn't been felt at all. Putting the Brighton debacle to one side, Arsenal have conceded just two goals in the other seven games Konsa has started.
9 - Andy Robertson - Free
The signing of Andy Robertson on a free transfer looked like little more than adding some experience and depth to a Tottenham squad that sorely needed it. As it's happened, the left-back has established himself as first choice for Roberto De Zerbi.
The Scot looked to be very much on the decline in his final 18 months at Anfield, but is enjoying a new lease of life in North London.
8 - Antonio Silva - £26m
Making the jump from the Primeira Liga to the top-flight of English football is no easy feat, but Antonio Silva has made it look that way.
The Portuguese defender has played 90 minutes in all nine Premier League contests, replacing Marcos Senesi seamlessly and helping Bournemouth to six consecutive clean sheets in all competitions.
7 - Tarik Muharemovic - £34.1m
If Leeds United are to climb the Premier League standings under the stewardship of Daniel Farke, there is no doubt that Tarik Muharemovic will play a pivotal role.
Only four teams conceded more goals than the West Yorkshire outfit last term, but they now boast the third best defensive record in the league, with Muharemovic’s physical prowess and aerial dominance aiding the side significantly. You'll struggle to find a better central defender for £34.1m.
6 - Jeremy Jacquet - £55m
Few central defenders have come close to reaching the hights of Virgil van Dijk since the Dutchman signed for Liverpool in 2018, and so for Jeremy Jacquet to outshine his partner in the early stages of his Reds career speaks volumes of his quality.
Physically immense and technically superb, the Frenchman has all the attributes to become one of Europe’s leading centre backs.
5 - Morgan Rogers - £117m
Breaking the record for an English footballer when signing for £117m, there was plenty of pressure on Morgan Rogers's shoulders heading into the new season.
Many of Chelsea's big-money signings of the last few years have backfired, but Rogers hit the ground running at Stamford Bridge, scoring five goals already this season, and outshining team mate Cole Palmer.
4 - Chema Andres - £18m
With his tall frame and short-sleeved shirt tucked into his shorts, Chema Andres bears more than a passing resemblance to compatriot Rodri.
Signed for just £18m, Andres looks like one of the bargains of the season, ensuring the departure of Carlos Baleba has hardly been felt at the Amex Stadium with a series of superb displays at the base of midfield.
It's still early days, but Brighton appear to have unearthed another gem.
3 - Johan Manzambi - £59.5m
On more than one occasion has a player made a big-money move off the back of an impressive international tournament and failed to live up to the hype, but the early signs suggest that Johan Manzambi is a superstar in the making.
The Swiss international had to wait until September to make his Aston Villa debut due to injury, but he’s since recorded three goals and notched four assists in all competitions and has replaced Morgan Rogers superbly.
2 - Nicolas Jackson - £47.5m
There have always been question marks around Nicolas Jackson's finishing ability. What's never been in doubt is his ability to take up dangerous positions and get shots away.
This season, those shots are finding the net with unerring regularity, scoring six goals already this season to sit behind only Erling Haaland and Alexander Isak in the top goalscorer standings, and his addition has meant Ollie Watkins hasn't been missed in the slightest.
1 - Luka Vuskovic - £46m
Revolutionary is the word that springs to mind when assessing Luka Vuskovic’s impact since signing for Brighton.
While frequently blessed with raw, up-and-coming talent in the forward department, the Seagulls have never been a team renowned for defensive solidity, until now. Keeping six clean sheets and boasting the second-best defensive record in the league – only behind Arsenal – Fabian Hurzeler’s side have been formidable in the defensive third, and Vuskovic deserves significant praise for his part.
