Lionel Messi will not shine in the Premier League football next season after he reluctantly decided to stay in Barcelona, but some of the inimitable talent that the biggest clubs seek behind may shine in the competition that has become the most powerful and exciting in Europe.
The following are 7 players who may make a big impact in the Premier League and compete for the stars for European and international individual awards:
Kai Havertz (Germany)
moved from Bayer Leverkusen to Chelsea for $ 94 million, and Chelsea was active in the transfer market under the support of owner Roman Abramovich to coach Frank Lampard, but the German international Havertz (21 years) is the most interesting addition.
Havertz, who scored 18 goals in all competitions last season, gives Lampard many options, whether as a striker, winger, imaginary striker or even in the middle of the midfield.
Looks good to us!

With his young age in mind, Havertz shows remarkable maturity and has the same instinct to be in dangerous territory at the right time that has given Lampard the opportunity to become the club's historic goalscorer.
In addition to the newly joined Hakim Ziyech and Timo Werner, Haferts may lead Chelsea to the title competition.
Hakim Ziyech (Morocco)
joined from Ajax Amsterdam to Chelsea in a deal worth $ 52 million, after the 27-year-old attacking midfielder
shone
with Ajax during the 4 years in which he became the team's icon and one of its most prominent stars.
Welcome to Chelsea, Hakim!

Ferran Torres (Spain)
moved from Valencia to Manchester City for $ 26 million, to give City fans reassurance after they felt sorry for the sale of their star Leroy Sani to Bayern Munich, with the presence of the 20-year-old right-wing Torres, they have a player who may leave a greater impact.

Torres enjoys high speed and loves attacking full backs, although his ability to run with the ball can be disappointing at times.
Initially, he has to reserve a starting place in a squad that already includes considerable strength, but Torres may quickly move to the next stage at City under Pep Guardiola, just as Raheem Sterling has done.
Donnie Van de Beek (Netherlands)
moved from Ajax Amsterdam to Manchester United with $ 45 million, and the 23-year-old may be the part United was missing, as coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will give different options in midfield.

Van de Beek has the ability to find spaces as an advanced playmaker or in a late position in midfield, especially on the right, although he does not have high speed because one of his strengths is his ability to make decisions, and he rarely goes to the wrong choice in case of attack.
The player appears to be in an ideal position to support Marcus Rashford and Mason Greenwood in attack.
Timo Werner (Germany)
moved from Leipzig to Chelsea for $ 61 million, after having performed a great season with his German team, scoring 34 goals in all competitions.
Werner is distinguished by strength, agility and good awareness, and he is also a flexible player who will likely shine as a lone striker or in the 4-3-3 method that Lampard sometimes uses.

While Werner likes to step back to connect the lines, he is also a deadly attacker when he receives the ball in the penalty area.
The player is expected to compete for the Premier League's Golden Boot award this season.
James Rodriguez (Colombia)
moved from Real Madrid to Everton for $ 15 million, and won widespread fame after winning the 2014 World Cup top scorer award, but his shares declined to the point that he would try to revive his career at Everton and not at a club that plays in the Champions League.
And if anyone can bring the 29-year-old playmaker back to life, it is coach Carlo Ancelotti, who initially signed him to Real Madrid, and after a number of sterile performances by Everton last season, James's renewed cooperation with Abdallah Ducuri, another newcomer, has been Give fans some hope.

Fabio Silva (Portugal)
moved from Porto to Wolverhampton Wanderers for $ 45 million, despite his young age as he completed 18 years in July, and Wolverhampton paid a record amount in the club's history to include the young striker who attracted the attention of elite clubs in Europe.
The deal may seem expensive for a player who scored 3 goals in 24 games with Porto, but Nuno Espírito Santo is the perfect coach to shine under his leadership and compete with Mexican striker Raul Jimenez.
