AFP Sports looks at five of the major signings aiming to justify their price tags.
Chelsea’s new signing Portuguese midfielder Pedro Neto waves to the fans at half-time, in the pre-season friendly football match between Chelsea and Inter Milan at the Stamford Bridge stadium in London on Sunday.
Calafiori was also a shining light in Italy’s otherwise pitiful defence of the European Championship in June.Arsenal boasted the best defence in the Premier League last season, keeping 18 clean sheets in 38 games. His arrival, for a reported £42 million , certainly boosts Arteta’s wealth of defensive options as Arsenal aim to end a 21-year wait to win the title.Spurs are hoping Solanke can fire them back into the Champions League and maybe even end a 16-year trophy drought.
“He’ll be a great fit for us,” said Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou, whose team finished fifth in his first season in charge.Spurs did not sign a replacement when Harry Kane departed a year ago. Now the pressure is on Solanke to fill those shoes.Dutch international De Ligt has been reunited with Erik ten Hag, who helped the centre-back rise to fame at Ajax as a teenager.
But Yoro is set to miss the first three months of the season, giving De Ligt the chance to nail down his place in the team with a bright start at Old Trafford.Neto is so far the standout signing from another chaotic window at Stamford Bridge.Yet he faces stiff competition just to get into the side with Raheem Sterling, Mykhailo Mudryk and Noni Madueke among the other wingers available to Enzo Maresca.
