Premier League clubs combined to spend a record \u00a33.19 billion during the 2025 summer window, and a number of arrivals have already influenced the opening months of the 2025\/26 season.<\/p>\n
Burnley\u2019s Jaidon Anthony arrived from Bournemouth for \u00a38 million and has become a central outlet in Scott Parker\u2019s attack. The former Arsenal academy player has started both as part of a front two and out wide, and his four league goals currently lead Burnley\u2019s scoring chart.<\/p>\n
On Tyneside, the German forward has settled quickly. With Yoane Wissa nursing a knee injury, Woltemade has started up front and brought an immediate return of three league goals in four games, one of which included an extraordinary penalty. His unusual frame and aerial improvement have been noted by supporters.<\/p>\n
West Ham\u2019s recruitment has offered hope under Nuno Esp\u00edrito Santo. El Hadji Malick Diouf, signed from Slavia Prague, has impressed as a one-on-one defender who delivers a dangerous cross from the left. He remains an up-and-down full back with clear potential.<\/p>\n
Tijjani Reijnders produced an outstanding Premier League debut at Molineux and has since provided moments of quality, including the assist for Erling Haaland against Arsenal in September.<\/p>\n
Mart\u00edn Zubimendi was an early target for Mikel Arteta and has gradually displayed his class in the holding role. After a slow debut, he has shown his passing range and even contributed a memorable goal against Nottingham Forest.<\/p>\n
Hugo Ekitik\u00e9 has been arguably the most convincing of Liverpool\u2019s summer recruits. The former Eintracht Frankfurt forward scored on his opening games against Bournemouth and Newcastle and has shown a willingness to drop in and combine, even if his league scoring has slowed in recent fixtures.<\/p>\n
Jo\u00e3o Palhinha\u2019s loan at Tottenham has been a robust addition. Thomas Frank leans on him heavily and the Portuguese midfielder leads Spurs with just over five combined tackles and interceptions per 90 minutes.<\/p>\n
Sunderland\u2019s Robin Roefs arrived from NEC Nijmegen, took the No.1 spot in preseason and has been a reliable shot-stopper. Only Dean Henderson has prevented more goals, and Roefs ranks fourth for success when attempting to claim the high ball.<\/p>\n
Finally, Jack Grealish\u2019s loan to Everton has begun well. He is joint-top of the assist charts and produced a last-gasp finish to end Crystal Palace\u2019s 18-game unbeaten run before the international break.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
