Jadon Sancho, who made his way from the Bundesliga back to the Premier League this summer, needs no introduction.

Having come through the ranks at Manchester City's academy, the winger joined Borussia Dortmund in 2017 to continue his development.

Over the next four years, the English star grew into a world-class prospect, scoring 50 goals and making 64 assists in just 137 games for Der BVB.

Given his precocious talents, there's plenty of expectation from his transfer, as Sancho is widely seen as the missing piece in the Manchester United puzzle.


#2 Jack Grealish (Manchester City)

For the last few years, Manchester City have been spending big on the market every summer. This year, the reigning Premier League champions broke the bank for Jack Grealish.

A sensational creator and a deadly finisher too, the £100 million-man from Aston Villa is set to bolster an already frightening attacking line of the Sky Blues.

A winger by trade but with the ability to excel in attacking midfield positions too, Grealish is adept at using his dribbling skills to ghost past defenses and can turn the match on its head with one brilliant pass.

Ad

He has contributed 32 goals in the Premier League in the last two seasons alone (scoring 14 and assisting 18) with an average Villa squad. Imagine how much he can accomplish with the likes of Kevin De Bruyne, Riyad Mahrez, Bernardo Silva, Phil Foden and Raheem Sterling around him.


#1 Romelu Lukaku (Chelsea)

He's back! Just two years after leaving the Premier League, prolific striker Romelu Lukaku has returned to English shores with his former club Chelsea.

Ad

The reigning European champions signed the star for a record-breaking £97.5 million from Inter Milan, whom the Belgian guided to the Serie A title last season.

One of the best strikers of his generation, Lukaku has proved himself with almost every side he's played with, netting 315 goals for club and country.

Ad

His first stint in the Premier League with the Blues, however, was cut short due to the presence of bigger players in the squad. However, with a wealth of top-flight experience now under his belt, will be their leading man in the XI.

Lukaku has proven himself in the Premier League, having scored a total of 113 times with three sides in the past, whilst also chipping in with 42 assists. He is expected to continue impressing and he'll be raring to add plenty more to his already impressive tally.
