Ranking each Premier League clubs summer transfer window.
Arsenal
Incomings: Willian, Mari, Soares, Gabriel, Ceballos and Thomas Partey.
A strong window and, most importantly, Aubameyang signed the new contract. However, letting 55 staff members go as well as the club mascot leaves a bad taste in the mouth. (6/10)

Aston Villa
Incomings: Cash, Watkins, Martinez, Traore and Barkley.
A very strong window but once again their biggest victory is keeping hold of Jack Grealish. Villa will continue to surprise this season, hard to see how it could’ve been better. (8/10)

Brighton
Incomings: Weir, Lallana, Veltman, Lars Dendoncker, Van Hecke, Ella, Khadra and Zeqiri.
A relatively unknown window, but Lallana will help massively and retaining Dunk and Ben White was huge for them. (6/10)

Burnley
Incomings: Norris, Richter, Rickard, Elva-Fountaine, Barrett, Diallo, Stephens and Mancini.
Burnley are always the strange side in the league and it’s hard to know where they’ll end up. Big Dychey will be confident I’m sure. (4/10)

Chelsea
Incomings: Werner, Ziyech, Chilwell, Sarr, Thiago Silva, Mendy and Kai Havertz.
Arguably the greatest window in the last 10 years. It’ll take time for the players to gel but it’ll pay off due to the level of quality players. (10/10)

Crystal Palace
Incomings: Ferguson, Giddings, Batshuayi and Eze.
Two great signings that will have a big impact on the squad this season. Hodgson is an underrated manager and I think Palace will be fine this season. (6.5/10)

Everton
Incomings: Nkounkou, Allan, Jagne, Olsen, Godfrey, Doucoure and James Rodriguez.
Incredible window for a huge club with an elite manager. Everton will push the traditional big 6 all the way this season. (9/10)

Fulham
Incomings: Robinson, Reed, Lemina, Areola, Tete, Aina, Lookman, Anderson, Adarabioyo, Loftus-Cheek.
In terms of individual talent, this is a strong window. However, Fulham will struggle unless they organise their defence. Hopefully Parker can sort it out. (6/10)

Leeds United
Incomings: Costa, Meslier, Harrison, Gelhardt, Drameh, Sam Greenwood, Rodrigo, Koch, Summerville, Llorente and Raphinha.
Strong signings coupled with one of the worlds best managers, this is serious from Leeds. They’re here to stay. (8/10)

Leicester City
Incomings: Castagne, Fofana, Under.
Slightly odd window, Castagne looking good and Fofana is a very talented player. Under needs to find his form but I back Rogers to find it. (6.5/10)

Liverpool
Incomings: Tsimikas, Jota and Thiago.
Despite their loss to Villa, Liverpool have had a very smart window. They’re still the favourite to win the league and with Thiago in the midfield, anything is possible. (8/10)

Manchester City
Incomings: Moreno, Torres, Ake, Carson and Ruben Diaz.
A very decent window but spending another £100mil on centre backs puts a lot of pressure on Pep. Torres is a very exciting player but letting Sane and Silva go I think will cost them the league. (7.5/10)

Manchester United
Incomings: Ighalo, Van De Beek, Telles, Cavani, Pellistri and Amad Diallo.
Fans will be furious that Sancho didn’t sign, but they’ve still had a decent window. United’s problems are at board level. A shame to see a historic club being run so poorly (6.5/10)

Newcastle United
Incomings: Gillespie, Brookwell, Hendrick, Fraser, Wilson, Vilca and Jamal Lewis.
A very smart window, they will do well this season. Fans sometimes harsh of Bruce but like United, their issues are at board level. I hope Ashley fucks off soon. (7/10)

Sheffield United
Incomings: Foderingham, Ramsdale, Bogle, Lowe, Ampadu, Coulibaly, Burke and Rhian Brewster.
Very good window, yet their play style so far has now been figured out. Let’s hope they find some form. (7/10)

Southampton
Incomings: Walker-Peters, Salisu, Diallo and Theo Walcott.
Very interesting but not overly inspiring. Should’ve added more depth in midfield. Good form towards the end of last season. Expect a mid table finish. (5.5/10)

Spurs
Incomings: Hojbjerg, Hart, Doherty, Vinicius, Reguillon and Gareth Bale.
Jose should never be overlooked. Very solid window, filling places intelligently. Add a fit Bale and Spurs will be very good this season. (8/10)

West Brom
Incomings: Pereira, Kipre, Button, Robinson, Krovinovic, Ivanovic, Diangana and Conor Gallagher.
Weird. Can’t quite explain what they’re doing but some very good players joining this season. Keeping Pereira and Diangana was vital. Still think they’ll struggle. (6/10)

West Ham
Incomings: Soucek, Ashley, and Vladimir Coufal.
Very unimpressive window. Moyes is performing better the further away he is. However, a talented squad that shouldn’t be in a relegation battle. Keeping Rice is huge. (4.5/10)

Wolves
Incomings: Sarkic, Silva, Marcal, Vitinha, Hoever, Ait-Nouri, and Nelson Semedo.
After winning the nations league, Portugal look set to take the Premier League by storm. Keeping key players and adding quality in depth. Wolves will be very good once again. (7/10)

Apologies if I missed any signings out. This is my opinion on each sides transfer windows. Let me know your thoughts.
