The former Watford boss has a lot to do after a tremendous window.

Leaving most of their signings for the final day, Everton went from an average window to a tremendous one within the span of a few hours. Having lost a fair amount of players that have featured in prominent spots in the past such as Funes Mori and Rooney, Everton have a new look under Marco Silva. After the failures of Koeman's splurge last season, this is a risky, yet exciting season for Silva.

The biggest additions have to be the trio that has arrived from Barcelona in the form of Yerry Mina, Lucas Digne, and Andre Gomes. All three are great players but were failing to make a mark on the Barcelona first team. Given a new lease on life, these three can make a massive difference. If the loan addition of Gomes was a surprise, the free transfer of Bernard was a last minute stunner, with him being rumoured to be at any number of clubs through the season. Richarilson has already proven what he can do under Marco Silva and Zouma adds further talent at the back to wrap up what's been a wonderful window for Everton.

Grade: B+


#9 Fulham

Players in: Jean Michaël Seri, André Zambo Anguissa, Aleksandar Mitrovic, Alfie Mawson, Joe Bryan, Fabri, Maxime Le Marchand, André Schürrle, Sergio Rico, Timothy Fosu-Mensah, Calum Chambers and Luciano Vietto

Players out: David Button, George Williams, Tayo Edun, Elijah Adebayo and Ryan Fredericks

Another terrific window, Fulham have gone all out in ensuring they do not slip back down after their triumphant return to the Premier League. Their biggest win this summer may have been keeping hold of Ryan Sessegnon, but the additions that they have made along with him are too good to be true for a club of this stature.

WIth the only notable departure being Ryan Fredericks, Fulham have added heaps of quality. Nice pair Le Marchand and Jean Seri add tremendous quality to this side, considering how they were being linked to the likes of Chelsea and Barcelona. Along with them, adding heaps of quality in defense with Fosu-Mensah, Alfie Mawson, Calum Chambers and goalkeeper Sergio Rico is a fantastic decision. Mitrovic's permanent signing means they hope he will recreate his Championship form in the Premier League, with support from Andre Schürrle strengthening the team further. An amazing window, which is a statement of intent by Fulham.

Grade: A
