Top 10 Best Premier League Signings Of The Season That Will Blow Your Mind by Azico95: 12:35am On Jan 17, 2019
1. Lucas Torreira (Sampdoria to Arsenal)

The diminutive Uruguayan has flown under the radar a little with Matteo Geundouzi getting a lot of the plaudits in midfield, but his tidy passing and ability to snap away at tackles in front of the back four has helped Unai Emery turn things around for the Gunners. Arsenal’s defense looks more solid in having Torreira and Geundouzi rampaging around, shutting down attacks in front of them. While the 22-year-old is adept at starting attacks and getting the ball up to the likes of Lacazette and Aubameyang quickly.

2. Alisson Becker (AS Roma to Liverpool)

Expectation doesn’t come much higher when a player is signed for a world record fee but Alisson has proven to be worth every penny of his reported £66m transfer fee so far. His interventions against Napoli in the Champions League preserved Liverpool’s place in the competition but he has also been the pick of the bunch in league competition too. For so long Liverpool have suffered due to the lack of a high-class goalkeeper but those days are at an end. Alisson has been a massive difference maker.

3. Jorginho (Napoli to Chelsea)

Turned down Manchester City to sign for Chelsea and it seems like an inspired decision. The Italian international has been handed the keys to the Blues’ midfield by new manager Maurizio Sarri, the man who joined him in switching Napoli for Chelsea, and he’s transformed the entire team. Leading the PL in passes attempted and completed most weeks, Jorginho’s ability to select the correct pass and get Chelsea going is a joy to watch.

4. Joao Moutinho (AS Monaco to Wolverhampton Wanderers)

Wolves managed to pull off one of the transfer coups of the summer by luring the trophy-laden Portugal international Joao Moutinho to a newly-promoted team. At 32 and with more than a decade at the top level behind him, there were a few raised eyebrows as to just how the move would work out for the midfielder. He has won plaudits from Wolves fans and observers alike with his tenacity, passing ability and class on the ball.

5. Matteo Geundouzi (Lorient to Arsenal)

Still just 19 years old, nobody expected this from Guendouzi. Perhaps his manager Emery did, having seen him at PSG’s academy and at Lorient in the second-tier in France, but the teenager has been a revelation early in the campaign. Some would say he is the combative defensive midfielder Arsenal have been missing for decades, and it would be hard to argue with that. He is still very raw but he has all of the tools to succeed in the Premier League. A very promising start.
