Arsenal splashed a whopping sum of €116.60 million to sign Declan Rice from West Ham United last month. Rice is one of the most talented midfielders in Europe and his acquisition is a massive boost for the Gunners as they look to challenge for the Premier League title next season.

The England international played 204 Premier League games during his time with the Hammers, scoring 10 goals and assisting 10 more. He won the West Ham United Player of the Season accolade thrice and also captained the Hammers to their first-ever trophy since 1980 last season, the UEFA Europa Conference League.

However, the 25-year-old attacker suffered a serious knee in a friendly game earlier this month. He is expected to stay on the sidelines for the next few months.

Liverpool have managed to pull off a stunning bargain by signing Alexis Mac Allister for just €42 million from Brighton & Hove Albion. The 24-year-old Argentine is currently one of the best midfielders in the world and played a pivotal role in the Seagulls' sixth-place finish in the Premier League last season.

He also starred during Argentina's FIFA World Cup 2022 triumph. The Santa Rosa-born star played six games in Qatar, registering one goal and one assist.

Mac Allister has already caught attention with his performances during the Reds' pre-season games. Jurgen Klopp will hope the Argentine continues his fine form during the upcoming season.

Gvardiol was part of the VDV 2022-23 Bundesliga Team of the Season. He will be a key player for the Cityzens next season as they will look to defend their Premier League title.
