The top Premier League clubs have “exploded blockbuster” very early this summer. Here are 6 names with high transfer fee and great expectations.
Jeremie Frimpong (Leverkusen to Liverpool, £ 30 million)
Frimpong is considered a replacement of Trent Alexander-Arnold, when the British star joined Real Madrid in a free form.
The problem is that Frimpong does not play the right defender for the past 2 seasons, but often wing-back or wing midfielder.
Back to the old role in the Premier League will not be easy, especially when coach Arne Slot needs defense certainty. However, perhaps Slot has a way to use and promote the capacity of Frimpong.
Milos Kerkez (Bournemouth to Liverpool, 40 million pounds)
Kerkez is expected to replace Andy Robertson in the long term. The Hungarian star was tested a lot in the Premier League.
He has the speed, fitness and aggressive gameplay, but still in the peak experience. Kerkez's biggest weakness is not good in a one -on -one and attacking situation. If not improved, he could become a weakness when Liverpool confronted the high -class wing strikers.
Martin Zubimendi (Real Sociedad came to Arsenal – 56 million pounds)
To get the service of Zubimendi, Arsenal overcame the fierce competition of Real Madrid as well as the fellow Man City team when accepting 60 million euros (56 million pounds) to break the Spanish player's contract.
Coach Mikel Arteta welcomes Zubimendi to the Emirates to enhance the choices in midfield, after the departure of Jorginho and Thomas Partey. The question for Arteta now with the current midfield, which scheme you will use to “contain” both Merino, Rice, Zubimendi and Odegaard? If Arsenal has one more striker, Arteta will have to sacrifice a central midfielder.
Joao Pedro (Brighton to Chelsea, 55 million pounds)
Joao Pedro is Form 9 backing Firmino. That is, he moves wide, makes walls, creates for his teammates. However, Chelsea did not have “scoring machines” in Salah or Mane …
The problem is Pedro or backward, easy to take off the space that Palmer needs to finish. This will be a big problem for coach Maresca.
Jamie Gittens (Dortmund to Chelsea, 55 million pounds)
Gittens impressed with 12 goals in the Bundesliga and the Champions League last season, but these numbers, mostly from the first half of the 2204/25 season when Dortmund played discrete.
After the team was stable under Niko Kovac, Gittens lost the kick because of personal play, rarely participated in defense. Coach Maresca likes daring, but if Gittens does not learn to keep the tactical discipline, he is difficult to capture the main kick at the Blues.
Matheus CuHa (Wolves to Man United, £ 62.5 million)
CuHa scored 15 goals last season, double the expected goal index (XG). Most goals come from long shots or narrow corners. However, CuHa is suitable for the role of a deviation in the 3-4-2-1 diagram of Amorim coach. He has the foundation to shine if he does not place the burden of scoring too big.
Of course, Amorim will need to have more good satellites to support and help Cuna promote himself well.
