Premier League Predictions: Who will prove the best new signing?

 

With the transfer window now firmly shut with regards to Premier League clubs recruiting new players, our writers have picked the player that they feel is the best summer signing ahead of the 2018/19 campaign.

Martin Laurence - Jean Seri

There have been a number of big money arrivals to the Premier League this summer and some sensational signings among them but as far as a real coup is concerned, Fulham’s capture of Jean Seri came out of left field. The newly promoted club worked quickly to get the deal done and ensure they went relatively unrivalled for a player that interested Arsenal last year and reportedly came close to a move to Barcelona. The fact that he’s now at Craven Cottage is indicative of the fact that the Ivorian wasn’t at his very best last season but he’s a metronomic passer that will suit the Cottagers style of play and should prove to be an incredibly astute signing.

 

 

Ben McAleer - Lucas Torreira

For quite some time now, Arsenal have needed a tenacious, ball winning midfielder and they finally rectified the issue with the capture of Lucas Torriera from Sampdoria. The Uruguayan may have endured limited action at the World Cup, yet he established himself as one of the finest in his position over the last two years in Italy. He’s won possession in the midfield third (317) and made more tackles and interceptions combined (356) than any other player in the last two Serie A seasons. With a knack for a goal from distance, Arsenal have a player they’ll grow to love in the ranks.

 

 

Josh Wright - Alisson

Spending a world record fee for a goalkeeper is a huge statement of intent from Liverpool. It's been a problem position for them for some years now and the club have backed Jurgen Klopp to the hills in their bid to finally solve it. Alisson is regarded as one of the best goalkeepers in the world and his arrival completely transforms Liverpool into genuine title challengers.
