<\/div>

The 2024 summer transfer window<\/a> is now closed and as per usual, Premier League clubs conducted a lot of business.<\/span><\/p>\n

Chelsea and Brighton were two of the biggest spenders, while Dominic Solanke\u2019s move to Tottenham from Bournemouth was the most expensive at \u00a365 million.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now that the dust has settled somewhat on another transfer window, NetBet has decided to take a look at some of the best signings made by Premier League sides.<\/span><\/p>\n

Of course, our five picks could go on to endure tough stints in the English top flight, but their arrivals look good for the new clubs. Well, on paper at least.<\/span><\/p>\n

If our predictions prove to be dreadful, please do not judge too harshly!<\/span><\/p>\n

And for the best Premier League odds, bet sport<\/a> with NetBet!<\/p>\n

Mikel Merino (Arsenal)<\/b><\/h2>\n

Arsenal\u2019s quest to dethrone Manchester City as champions of England may not have a successful ending this season, given the strength of their fierce rivals.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, the signing of Merino from Real Sociedad means the Gunners\u2019 midfield looks a force to be reckoned with for the immediate future. His arrival at the Emirates should prove even more important than those of Riccardo Calafiori and Raheem Sterling.<\/span><\/p>\n

Last season, the lack of a Granit Xhaka-type figure on the left of the central three was evident and in the end, it perhaps cost Mikel Arteta\u2019s side.<\/span><\/p>\n

But Merino can solve that issue. He has been one of the best midfielders in the world over recent years, offering a lethal combination of power, duel-winning ability and grace. Oh and he is more than capable of chipping in with goals as well.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Spain international only recently turned 28 and we may see Declan Rice revert to his more natural No6 position this season as a result of this signing. Great business by Arsenal, although they will want him free from a shoulder injury as soon as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n

Max Kilman (West Ham)<\/h2>\n

Julen Lopetegui was in desperate need of reinforcements at centre-back and appears to have got a great one in the left-footed Kilman, who joined for around \u00a340 million.<\/p>\n

The ex-Wolves skipper enjoyed a stellar campaign at Molineux in 2023-24 and has continued that form into this season with the Hammers.<\/p>\n

While Lopetegui’s side have shipped a few goals this term, including a hat-trick from Manchester City’s Erling Haaland, Kilman has turned in a string of top displays and looks as if he will be a mainstay in the XI for years to come.<\/p>\n

A strong defender with an eye for a pass, Kilman’s skill-set is tailor-made for West Ham in their new era and now it is about finding a suitable long-term partner for him at the London Stadium.<\/p>\n

Do not be surprised if he receives an England call up at some point this season…<\/p>\n

Amadou Onana (Aston Villa)<\/b><\/h2>\n

While Onana may have lacked consistency at times during his stint with Everton, it seems bizarre that other big Premier League clubs were not desperate to sign him this summer – even if he did cost \u00a350 million.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Belgian is everything you could want in an all-round midfielder. Standing at 6\u20195\u201d, Onana is a fearsome opponent for anyone and in the air, few can get near him, as West Ham discovered on Matchday 1.<\/span><\/p>\n

But as well as his undeniable physical attributes, he is a wonderful footballer who can dictate big games with intelligence and clever passing when required – as he proved recently against Arsenal, albeit in a 2-0 loss.<\/span><\/p>\n

And at the age of 23, Onana is only going to get better under the tutelage of Unai Emery, which is a scary thought for the rest of the division.<\/span><\/p>\n

Whisper it quietly, but Villa may have got themselves an upgrade on Douglas Luiz\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

Noussair Mazraoui (Manchester United)<\/b><\/h2>\n

Perhaps the most lowkey of all United\u2019s signings this summer could very well prove to be the most important as they look to recover from a slow start to the campaign following back-to-back losses to Brighton and Liverpool.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mazraoui previously worked with Erik ten Hag at Ajax and it already seems clear why the Red Devils boss was eager for a summer reunion with the versatile right-back.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Morocco international is maybe not quite as good as West Ham new boy Aaron Wan-Bissaka in 1v1 situations but in most other aspects, he is a far superior player.<\/span><\/p>\n

A tenacious defender who can pass like a midfielder and beat a left-back in the final third, the 26-year-old looks nailed on to be a regular in United\u2019s XI for years to come.<\/span><\/p>\n

Alongside Federico Chiesa\u2019s \u00a312.5 million switch to Liverpool, Mazraoui might be one of the bargains of the summer at just \u00a317 million.<\/span><\/p>\n

Savinho (Manchester City)<\/b><\/h2>\n

There was not much reaction when City brought in Savinho from sister club Troyes after his magnificent season on loan at Girona.<\/span><\/p>\n

But Premier League fans are already starting to take notice thanks to the Brazilian\u2019s impressive start to life in England.<\/span><\/p>\n

Like team-mate Jeremy Doku, Savinho gives Pep Guardiola\u2019s side a new dimension on the flanks and is already earning comparisons with Riyad Mahrez, which really is praise of the highest order.<\/span><\/p>\n

Last season, the 20-year-old (yes, he is only 20!) scored nine goals and assisted 10 more in La Liga, all while terrorising full-backs every week with his dribbling skills.<\/span><\/p>\n

This \u00a330 million deal is yet more evidence that while City\u2019s riches can be criticised to a degree, they spend their money better and smarter than most!<\/span><\/p>\n
