The north Londoners were the busiest club on deadline day, as they signed two players for a significant amount of money. Pochettino’s men have been unbeaten in the league so far and will hope that the new players gel with the squad as early as possible.
Victor Wanyama will be Spurs’ most important player to have signed for the club since Toby Alderweireld deal, abd the Kenyan has alreadt started to make his impact known for Spurs.
In:
Moussa Sissoko - £30 millionVincent Janssen - £18.5 millionVictor Wanyama - £11 million Georges-Kevin N'koudou - £10 million Pau Lopez - Loan
Out:
Ryan Mason - £10 millionNacer Chadli - £13 millionAlex Pritchard - £8 millionDeAndre Yedlin - £5 million
Grade: B+
Pochettino has got players in positions that needed strengthening. But, a move for Sissoko looks like a panic buy as the Lilywhites seem to have overpaid for the Frenchman. £30 million is a bit too much for the inconsistent midfielder.
Arsenal
The Gunners were silent for the entirety of August but made two signings in the last week of transfer season. If Wenger had not made those transfers, it would have been a long helpless season for the manager.
Granit Xhaka’s arrival has made Wilshere to go on loan while Lucas Perez can be an able deputy to Olivier Giroud.
In:
Granit Xhaka - £35 millionRob Holding - £2.5 millionShkodran Mustafi - £35 millionLucas Perez - £17.5 million
Out:
Serge Gnabry - £4.5 millionCalum Chambers - LoanJack Wilshere - LoanTomas Rosicky - Free
Grade: B+
Though Arsenal made the signings that were required, had these deals been completed earlier, they would not have dropped points in the first two games of the season.
Liverpool
Jurgen Klopp made all his signings early in the transfer period and the Reds have been silent for the past two weeks. Fans were hoping for an upgrade on the left back but Klopp has trusted James Milner to do the needful to replace the highly vulnerable Alberto Moreno.
Sadio Mane is proving to be the best signing for Liverpool this summer already.
In:
Sadio Mane - £30 millionGini Wijnaldum - £25 millionRagnar Klavan - £5 millionLoris Karius - £4.7 millionAlex Manninger - FreeJoel Matip - Free
Out:
Christian Benteke - £30 millionJordan Ibe - £15 millionJoe Allen - £13.5 millionBrad Smith - £6 millionMartin Skrtel - £5 millionJerome Sinclair - £4 millionLuis Alberto - £4.3 million
Grade: B -
The Reds have done well financially, as their net spend is in the negative as Klopp was brutal in selling players that were no longer in his plans. A holding midfielder and a left back should have been signed as those two positions needed strenghtening.
