Chester FC v Liverpool - Pre-Season Friendly
Naby Keita

The transfer window has shut in the Premier League, producing a lot of drama, surprises and mouth-watering deals before its closure. Like their European rivals, English clubs participated brilliantly in transfer activities this summer, acquiring a number of incredible superstars and sending fantastic messages across the division.

Merseyside outfit, Liverpool, emerged as the winners of the transfer window in the English top flight, spending a whopping £170 million and signing amazing superstars including the likes of Fabinho, Alisson Becker, Xherdan Shaqiri and Naby Keita.

It is evident that the competition will produce a lot of excitement this season, with these incredible signings looking to entertain us with their amazing talents during the campaign. Therefore, we take a look at 5 new recruits that will set the division ablaze with their fantastic abilities this term:

#5. Richarlison

Everton v Valencia - Pre-Season Friendly
The attacker has started the campaign in great form

Brazilian winger, Richarlison left his native club, Fluminense and completed a move to Watford in the Premier League last year. After impressing in his debut campaign in the English top flight, the attacker earned a massive move to join fellow EPL club, Everton this summer.

Richarlison surprised everyone with his immediate influence at the Goodison Park this season. It took him just 17 minutes to open his account and he has gone on to add 2 more goals to his name - raising his tally to an incredible 3 in 3 matches so far.

The Brazilian has been in sensational form ever since the campaign began and he will continue tormenting opposition defenders in the English top flight with his electrifying pace, amazing dribbling skills, and incredible goalscoring knack.

#4. Alisson Becker

Crystal Palace v Liverpool FC - Premier League
The goalkeeper has kept clean sheets in all of his appearances so far

A couple of inconsistent displays from Loris Karius forced Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp into signing another goalkeeper this summer and the former Borussia Dortmund boss roped in Alisson Becker from Roma during the transfer window.

The Brazilian was one of the best goalkeepers in the world last season, producing a lot of amazing performances for the Seria A outfit.

Alisson is a decent goalkeeper with an abundance of talent and commitment. He has featured for Liverpool in 3 matches this season, putting up solid displays and keeping amazing clean sheets in all of the encounters.

#3. Jorginho

Chelsea v Olympique Lyonnais - Pre-Season Friendly
Jorginho is off to a great start in the Premier League

Former Napoli midfielder, Jorginho was all set to join Manchester City in the Premier League this summer after Pep Guardiola made public his interest in the player. Even though the Italian eventually moved to the English top flight, his proposed move to the Etihad Stadium never materialized as the player decided to link up with his old manager, Maurizio Sarri at Chelsea instead.

Resuming his role as the fulcrum of Sarri's midfield, Jorginho has had a great start to his career in the Premier League. He has been playing at an incredible level, controlling play from the middle of the pitch and helping his teammates to adapt to the manager's system.

Such is the impact of the player that Chelsea have found it easier to play an attractive brand of football, winning all their 3 matches in the competition so far. With that kind of an influence, there is no doubt the 26-year-old will run riot in the English top flight during the campaign.

#2. Naby Keita

Bury v Liverpool - Pre-Season Friendly
Keita has made Anfield his home

Such is the incredible talent of Guinean superstar Naby Keita that Jurgen Klopp was willing to wait for a year to acquire his services - despite finalizing a deal with RB Leipzig for the transfer of the player in January.

A highly talented and technical midfielder, the 23-year-old has settled in the Premier League perfectly. In a short period, the Guinean has become a vital cog in Jurgen Klopp's team and he remains a sure bet to impress in the English top flight during the campaign.

#1. Riyad Mahrez

Manchester City v Huddersfield Town - Premier League
The attacker finally got his dream move

A transfer to Manchester City failed to materialize for Algerian winger Riyad Mahrez in January, but the attacker later completed his dream move - leaving Leicester City for the Premier League champions in a deal worth €68 million this summer.

Mahrez is a magnificent winger with fantastic pace, decent passing, and unmatched dribbling skills - capable of tearing opposition defenses apart to create clear-cut chances almost from scratch as well finding the back of the net at vital moments.

Having established himself as one of the finest attackers in the English top flight for the past few years, the 27-year-old is expected to run riot under Pep Guardiola at the Etihad Stadium this season.
