Four summer signings that have had the greatest impact in the Premier League thus far (January 2033) During the 2022 summer transfer window, some of the most significant expenditures were made by Premier League clubs. According to reports, their net spending was approximately £1.9 billion.
All 20 teams made significant signings last summer, but not all have been able to significantly impact the league.
However, some players appear to have quickly adjusted to their teams and gone on to make significant contributions this season. This article will examine four of these players immediately.
#4 Sven Botman
Sven Botman, a defender for Newcastle United, was a major summer acquisition who excelled in the Premier League in 2022-23.
Keep in mind that the Magpies paid around £35 million for his transfer from Lille, a French club, last summer.
Eddie Howe’s team, which has an impressive defensive record this season, has made Botman a regular starter on defense.
In their 19 Premier League games, Newcastle United has allowed just 11 goals, the fewest of any team thus far.
Botman, on the other hand, has started 17 of Howe’s team’s 19 games and contributed to 11 shutouts. In addition, the Magpies have never lost a game against him this season.
#3 Gabriel Jesus
The signing of Gabriel Jesus from Manchester City is largely responsible for Arsenal’s current success in the Premier League in 2022-23.
To secure his services from Manchester City, the defending champions, Arsenal paid £45 million.
Jesus had an immediate impact on Mikel Arteta’s team because of his goals, assists, and excellent linkup play at the start of the season, which helped earn crucial points.
In his 14 appearances, the Brazilian has contributed five goals and five assists to his teammates.
#2 Erling Haaland
Erling Haaland, a star player for Manchester City, has become one of the Premier League’s most popular newcomers. After signing for £51.2 million from Borussia Dortmund, the Norwegian forward became one of the most well-known summer signings.
Haaland has been ruthless in front of goal for the Citizens and quickly adapted to the league. In his first few months in England, he has also broken and set a few goalscoring records.
This season, the 22-year-old striker has scored 21 goals in the Premier League and leads the list of top scorers.
#1 Casemiro
Few football fans had any idea that Casemiro, a Brazilian midfielder, would be moving to Manchester United from Real Madrid last summer.
To secure his services from the Spanish giants, the Red Devils made a daring transfer move for around £70 million. He is also one of the club’s most expensive signings ever because of the price.
Under Erik ten Hag’s management, Casemiro has since emerged as Manchester United’s final piece of the puzzle. The Brazilian has provided the Red Devils’ midfield with the necessary balance and quality.
Prior to his arrival, United’s midfield was unbalanced enough to compete with some of the Premier League’s biggest teams. Their back line has also been exposed in the majority of games due to the absence of a world-class holding midfielder.
However, these problems are now considered to be a thing of the past. Since joining Old Trafford in the summer, Casemiro has established himself as one of the league’s best midfielders.
This season in the Premier League, the 30-year-old midfielder has scored two goals and provided three assists.
