#3 RIYAD MAHREZ ( Manchester City)

Mahrez made his Manchester City debut against Borussia Dortmund

The love story between Riyad Mahrez and Manchester City finally concluded in this transfer window. His move to Etihad Stadium was obstructed due to various reasons on the deadline day of January transfer market.

He made his first appearance in Manchester City's kit against Dortmund yesterday but ended up on the losing side as Dortmund won the game 1-0 through a penalty. He showed glimpses of his quality and almost scored an equaliser via a free-kick at the stroke of half-time.

With the quality of players Manchester City has, it will be tough to say whether he will start every game for the Premier League champions.

The right-wing position is already occupied with Raheem Sterling and Bernardo Silva whereas the attacking central midfield is occupied by midfield maestros Kevin De Bruyne and David Silva.

#2 NABY KEITA (Liverpool)

The importance of the player can be figured by the kit number he has been allocated. The famous number 8 previously won by Liverpool's legend Steven Gerrard, will be on the back of their new signing.

Naby Keita is more of an attacking midfielder. He has good speed and acceleration which could be very handy for Liverpool to exterminate opposition defences. With the front three of Liverpool almost a certainty, Keita will have to find his place in the midfield alongside Fabinho and Jordan Henderson.

He will face competition from Adam Lallana who himself will be coming back after an injury-hit season.

#1 FABINHO (Liverpool)

Fabinho is a player of great versatility and mentality. He can operate at both, central midfield and right-back position. He will fill the boots of a holding midfielder which was missed by Liverpool in the previous season.

Jordan Henderson and James Milner are good options at that position but are not as defensively sound as Fabinho. He was linked to a move to Manchester United for a long time but decided to switch to Anfield.

He has a good short-passing range and his good height will play a key role to win aerial duels in the midfield.
