1. Kai Havertz
To:
Chelsea
From:
Bayer Leverkusen
Transfer fee:
Approximately 80 million euros
Age:
21
Position:
Midfielder
Comment:
Of several heavy signings Chelsea have made this summer, this German star is the heaviest.
The offensive midfielder comes to Frank Lampard's Chelsea to deliver points.
In 150 matches for Leverkusen, there were 46 goals and 31 assists
2. Timo Werner
To:
Chelsea
From:
RB Leipzig
Transfer fee:
Approx. 53 million euros
Age:
24
Position:
Forward
Comment:
Chelsea lacked a clear class striker - and acted.
During 19/20, Werner played 34 games and scored 28 goals.
Add to that eight goal-scoring passes.
Now it's a step up when Werner changes league, but of course it's an interesting signing of Chelsea
3. Thiago Silva
To:
Chelsea
From:
PSG
Transfer fee:
Free transfer
Age:
35
Position:
Defender
Comment:
Just as Chelsea needed a striker, needed the someone who can control a back line.
Experienced Silva may be getting older.
But: He comes for free, has only signed for a year and played the final in the Champions League as recently as a couple of weeks ago.
4. Ben Chilwell
To:
Chelsea
From:
Leicester
Transfer fee:
50 million euros
Age:
23
Position:
Defender
Comment:
There will be a lot of Chelsea at the top of this list, but it can not be helped.
Chilwell will come in here and join forces with Silva to strengthen Chelsea's defense.
Is at the same time fast on its edge and likes to fill up offensively.
Three goals for Leicester last year.
5. James Rodriguez
To:
Everton
From:
Real Madrid
Transfer fee:
Free transfer
Age:
29
Position:
Midfielder
Comment: The
Colombian broke through with a bang when he won the shooting league in the 2014 FIFA World Cup. After that championship he was recruited to Real Madrid from Monaco for EUR 75 million.
Since then, it has gone up and down for James.

Now he is turning to Everton to conjure up Goodison Park and it certainly feels exciting.
This will be the third time that coach Carlo Ancelotti recruits Rodriguez to his team.
6. Danny van de Beek
To:
Manchester United
From:
Ajax
Transfer fee:
39 million euros
Age:
23
Position:
Midfielder
Comment:
There are a couple of Ajax players on this list who will come to the Premier League who will be exciting to follow.
And one of them is van de Beek.
The creative midfielder is Ole-Gunnar Solkjaer's only signing so far under this window.
7. Matt Doherty
To:
Tottenham
From:
Wolverhampton
Transfer fee:
17 million euros
Age:
28
Position:
Defender
Comment:
A signing that got attention when Doherty previously told on social media that he has been a big Arsenal supporter since childhood.
But if we focus on what he has done on the pitch, during his years at Wolverhampton he has constantly been an offensive threat from his side.
Willian to Arsenal.

Four goals and four assists in 36 games for the "Wolves" in the Premier League during 19/20.
Now he can post on Harry Kane instead of Rául Jimenez.
If Tottenham finish ahead of Wolverhampton in the league?
Not at all safe.
But a good signing for Spurs.
8. Willian
To:
Arsenal
From:
Chelsea
Transfer fee:
Free transfer
Age:
32
Position:
Midfielder
Comment:
After seven seasons, Willian finally left Chelsea - for Arsenal.
A good signing of "Gunners" who gets him for free and if you look at what the defensive game looked like last year, Willian will be useful there as well.

Callum Wilson and Ryan Fraser to Newcastle.

But even in the future, Arsenal will benefit from the Brazilian.
Nine goals and seven in 36 Premier League matches 19/20 is proof of this.
9. Hakim Ziyech
To:
Chelsea
From:
Ajax
Transfer fee:
40 million euros
Age:
27
Position:
Midfielder
Comment:
Another exciting signing of Chelsea who impressed at Ajax.
But this will be a couple of levels up, he is 27 years old and it is his first foreign adventure.
During a season with very many matches, however, he will have plenty of playing time, despite strong competition in the blue midfield.
10 & 11. Callum Wilson & Ryan Fraser
To:
Newcastle
From:
Bournemouth
Callum Wilson:
Transfer fee:
22.5 million euros
Age:
28
Position:
Striker
Ryan Fraser:
Transfer fee:
Free transfer
Age:
26
Position:
Midfielder
Comment:
Bournemouth left Premier League and it usually goes hand in hand with a player escape.
Two of the team's most outstanding players left for Newcastle.
Two exciting new acquisitions that spearhead Steve Bruce's team.
Wilson scored eight goals and three assists last year in the Premier League.
Michy Batshuayi buys locks for Crystal Palace.

Now he will lead the offensive forces in a new striped jersey.
12. Michy Batshuayi
To:
Crystal Palace
From:
Chelsea
Transfer fee:
Borrowed
Age:
28
Position:
Forward
Comment:
We end the list with something that is certainly not a transfer, but still a good reinforcement over the coming season.
Batshuayi was loaned to Crystal Palace from Chelsea during the 18/19 season - and now he is going there again.
A new season-long loan has been signed for the Belgian, who last time he was at Palace scored five goals in eleven league appearances.
The loan with Crystal Palace expires after the season - at the same time as the 28-year-old's contract with Chelsea also expires.
