Here are the five biggest bargains of the summer transfer window:
1. Ollie Watkins (Brentford to Aston Villa – £28m)
Watkins was a surprise signing for Aston Villa, but his impressive goal-scoring record in the Championship earned him a big-money move. He’s already repaid the faith with 6 goals in 10 Premier League appearances.
2. Ferran Torres (Manchester City to Valencia – £20.9m)
Torres made a stunning return to his boyhood club Valencia, having previously left for Manchester City for £43.5m just a year ago. He’s already notched 2 goals and 2 assists in 5 appearances.
3. Emiliano Buendía (Norwich City to Aston Villa – £30m)
Buendía was a key player for Norwich in the Premier League last season, and Aston Villa snapped him up for a fraction of the price they would have paid for a similar player. He’s already scored 2 goals and provided 3 assists.
4. Joe Willock (Arsenal to Newcastle United – £25m)
Willock impressed on loan at Newcastle last season, and the Magpies secured his permanent signing for a relatively modest fee. He’s already scored 3 goals in 7 appearances.
5. Yves Bissouma (Brighton to Tottenham Hotspur – £25m)
Bissouma was a standout player for Brighton last season, and Tottenham snapped him up for a bargain price. He’s already impressed with his energy and box-to-box ability, and looks set to be a key player for the Spurs.
