The summer transfer window for Premier League clubs slammed shut on August 31 with teams spending around £1.04 billion between them on 103 permanent signings.
Arsenal were the biggest spenders in the league with an outlay of £156.8 million. Manchester City broke the Premier League transfer record by signing Jack Grealish for £100 million from Aston Villa.
Newly-promoted Premier League clubs have also spent heavily this past window, splashing combined £67.5 million on new signings.
Right on that note, here's a list of the four best signings made by the newly-promoted Premier League teams.
Note: This list doesn't include players signed on loan.
#1 Milot Rashica (Norwich City)
Norwich City signed Kosovo international Milot Rashica from Bundesliga club Werder Bremen for a reported fee of £9 million.
Rashida started his professional career with KF Vushtrria in 2013 before moving to the Netherlands to play for SBV Vitesse in 2015. He impressed with his performances in the Dutch top division and was snapped up by Werder Bremen in 2018.
He made 100 appearances across all competitions during his three-year spell with the German club, scoring 27 goals. He finished as Bremen's top goalscorer in all competitions during the 2019-20 campaign with 11 goals and was also awarded the club's Player of the Season accolade.
Rashica is a versatile player who is capable of playing anywhere across the forward line or as an attacking midfielder. His main strengths are his pace and dribbling and he is also clinical in front of his goal. He averaged 1.5 dribbles per game last season, along with 1.8 shots and 0.8 key passes.
The 25-year old was linked with a number of Champions League clubs in the past and the Canaries have done an excellent job by securing his services. He has already shown his class at the club, winning the Norwich City Player of the Month award last month.
#2 Moussa Sissoko (Watford)
Moussa Sissoko joined the newly-promoted Watford from Tottenham Hotspur for a reported fee of around £2.5 million.
The Frenchman signed for Spurs from Newcastle United in 2016. He played 202 games across all competitions during his five-year stay with the north London club, scoring five goals. He was named Tottenham Hotspur Legends' Player of the Season in 2019 and was also included in the 2018-19 UEFA Champions League Squad of the Season.
Sissoko is a versatile midfielder who is known for his pace, strength and ability to tackle. He is also an accomplished passer of the ball and completed 84.4 per cent of his passes last season.
The 32-year old Frenchman will bring a lot of top-level experience to the Hornets squad and will play a key role in their bid to survive in the Premier League this season.
#3 Kristoffer Ajer (Brentford)
Brentford FC beat off competition from Norwich City and Newcastle United to sign central defender Kristoffer Ajer from Celtic.
Ajer joined Celtic from Norwegian club Start in 2016 and made 115 league appearances during his five-year stay at the club. He helped the Hoops win three Scottish Premiership titles, along with three Scottish Cups and three Scottish League cups. He was also named in the Scottish Premiership Team of the Year for the 2018-19 season.
The 25-year old defender made 35 league appearances during the 2020-21 season, registering 1.4 interceptions per game, along with 3.4 clearances and 1.3 tackles. Apart from his defensive abilities, he is also an accomplished passer, completing 88.2 per cent of his attempted passes in the league last season.
The Norway international has slotted seamlessly into the Bees' backline and featured in all of their opening four league games this season.
#4 Christos Tzolis (Norwich City)
Regarded as one of the most promising wingers in European football, Christos Tzolis joined Norwich City for a reported fee of £10 million from Greek side PAOK.
Tzolis enjoyed an impressive breakthrough season with PAOK last term, scoring 16 goals and registering 10 assists across all competitions. He helped the club win the Greek Cup and was also named as the Club's Player of the Season.
The 19-year old also established himself as a regular in the Greek national team and has represented his country on nine occasions thus far.
The Greek made a brilliant start to his life in Norfolk, scoring two goals and assisting a further two on his debut against Bournemouth FC in the EFL Cuphird round.
