It seems like every year Premier League clubs break the spending record in the summer transfer window.
This summer was no different, with Premier League clubs spending £1.9bn according to The Guardian, a new record.
Now, with Premier League matches postponed this weekend after The Queen passed away, we take a look at the starting eleven of some of the most impressive summer signings this season.
Goalkeeper – Nick Pope
After Burnley were relegated from the Premier League, it was no surprise to see a club act fast and take the England international back to the top flight.
Pope has offered solidity in goal for Newcastle and is second in the league in terms of save percentage behind Everton’s Jordan Pickford (data via FBRef).
Right Back – Aaron Hickey
Hickey has spent most of his short career playing at left-back, but since joining Brentford, the Scottish International has played on the right side of their defence.
A signing that may have flown under the radar a bit, but Hickey has adapted to the Premier League with ease and has helped Brentford get off to an impressive start this season.
Central defender: James Tarkowski
With £1.9bn spent by Premier League clubs, it may come as a surprise to see a free transfer listed. However, after Everton went through such a difficult season last season, Frank Lampard desperately needed to add leadership and struggle to his current squad.
Tarkowski brings that in abundance and his experience has been evident in his first performances for Everton this season.
