The Premier League is awash with new talent after this transfer window. The sides have spent a combined total of over \u00a31 billion in transfer money to secure the services of players they think will improve their squads. Some teams, as always, fared better than others in acquiring their new talent. Those are the teams who have had the best Premier League summer transfer windows.<\/p>\n
After a mid-table finish last season, Mark Hughes would have been looking to make some big signings this summer to try and improve his current side. <\/span><\/p>\n The Potters were fairly active this transfer window, however they weren’t able to secure any \u2018big name\u2019 signings. In fact, they lost their best player last season, Marko Arnautovic. <\/span>The Austrian signed for West Ham during the summer for a reported fee of \u00a325 million. <\/span><\/p>\n Although they received good money for the forward, he was a very valuable asset to Stoke\u2019s lineup. <\/span><\/p>\n The Potter\u2019s were also able to bring in Darren Fletcher on a free transfer. Fletcher is an experienced midfielder who may be able to help the spine of Stoke\u2019s team. <\/span><\/p>\n Lastly, the addition of Jese on loan from PSG is a great replacement for Arnautovic. The Spaniard has settled into the team well, scoring on his debut against Arsenal.<\/span><\/p>\n Once again, Leicester City have managed to keep hold of both of their star players – Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez. <\/span><\/p>\n Harry Maguire had a great season at Hull City last season, and Craig Shakespeare has decided to bring him to Leicester. Maguire has had a positive start at Leicester and thus has earned himself an England call up. With Robert Huth and Wes Morgan reaching the ends of their careers, the youngster seems like a great addition.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n The Foxes have also brought in Nigerian striker Kelechi Iheanacho, who has struggled to get minutes at Manchester City. The youngster has enormous potential and carries traits tailor made for the Premier League. <\/span><\/p>\n Lastly, the Foxes brought in midfielder Vincente Iborra. After losing PFA Player of the Year, N\u2019Golo Kante, it has been hard for the club to find his replacement. However, with Wilfred Ndidi putting in some great performances last season, Iborra may be a good back up.<\/span><\/p>\n On deadline day, the Foxes also lost one of their long serving player in English international, Danny Drinkwater. He played a key role in their title winning season and has played consistently for the club since. His departure will be missed on the pitch, however it will give the likes of Andy King, Daniel Amartey and Demarai Gray some more game time.<\/p>\n Recently, Bournemouth have received great success in the Premier League and this summer Eddie Howe has gone and brought in some outstanding talents. <\/span><\/p>\n Despite being 34 years of age, veteran Jermain Defoe still managed to bag 15 goals last season. The Englishman has still got another couple years in him and will definitely be able to score past the weaker sides. He is experienced and will be a great role model for younger players. <\/span><\/p>\n For the first half of last season, the Cherries had Nathan Ake on loan, who was nothing short of sensational and have spent \u00a320 million to permanently bring him to the club. <\/span><\/p>\n They also managed to get in a new keeper in Asmir Begovic who struggled to beat Thiabaut Courtois to the first choice position at Chelsea.<\/span><\/p>\n After being on the brink of the end of his Arsenal career, manager Arsene Wenger is under immense pressure this season. <\/span><\/p>\n The Gunners definitely strengthened their attacking options with the signing Alexandre Lacazette. The Frenchmen is a proven goal scorer and has already begun showing off his skills in the Premier League. <\/span><\/p>\n Wenger was also able to hang on to both Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil. Sanchez was Arsenal\u2019s saviour last season as he often single handedly carried the Gunners through games. <\/span><\/p>\n German midfielder Ozil is another proven world class player in the current Arsenal squad who will be relied on for many top class performances.<\/span><\/p>\n It may come as a shock to many, but Liverpool have managed to keep hold of Philippe Coutinho. <\/span><\/p>\n Having finished in the top four last season, Klopp identified that he only needs a few additions to his current squad.<\/span><\/p>\n Their marquee signing was Roma\u2019s Mohammed Salah, who has already been excellent in Liverpool\u2019s opening three games. The Egyptian struggled at Chelsea but shined bright at Roma and is already looking very promising at Anfield. <\/span><\/p>\n The Reds have also managed to bring in Hull City\u2019s Andy Robertson as a rotational left back. <\/span><\/p>\n However the main talking point for the Reds this summer was retaining Coutinho. Having rejected several bids for over \u00a3100 million, Klopp stood firm when dealing with one of the worlds largest clubs, Barcelona. <\/span><\/p>\n Long-term target Naby Keita was also acquired on a deal that will see him join the club next summer.<\/span><\/p>\n West Ham have been one of the busiest clubs during this transfer window and there is no doubt they have brought in plenty of talent and experience. <\/span><\/p>\n The Hammers broke their transfer record with the signing of Marko Arnautovic from Stoke for a fee of \u00a325 million. Unfortunately, Arnautovic hasn’t hit the ground running and has struggled to find his form from last season. <\/span><\/p>\n Furthermore, the addition of Joe Hart and Pablo Zabaleta should help bolster Bilic\u2019s squad. The City duo bring a lot of experience to the current West Ham side. On paper, these two will definitely help the Hammers do well, however in the first three games they have conceded eight goals and Zabaleta gave away a costly penalty in the 93rd minute against Southampton. <\/span><\/p>\n Lastly, their marquee signing is the Mexican magician Javier Hernandez (Chicharito). The Mexican has proved his class in Germany and earlier in his career at Manchester United. He has already got going for London club by scoring two goals in his first three games.<\/span><\/p>\n Champions Chelsea have been very busy this summer, adding five new players to their squad. Most of their signings have been to replace the players they\u2019ve lost. <\/span><\/p>\n Monaco\u2019s defensive midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko has been added to replace Nemanja Matic. Alvaro Morata replaces Diego Costa who has been left out of Conte\u2019s plans as well as Antonio Rudiger and Willy Cabellero to act as the back up centre-back and goalkeeper. <\/span><\/p>\n9.
