- Granit Xhaka (Borussia Monchengladbach to Arsenal; £35m):
Arsenal’s previous season exposed a glaring hole in the holding midfield area and the manager solved the same early after the end of the previous season after his club announced that a deal has been stuck just a week after the last season. The Swiss international has been linked with a move to the Emirates for sometime now and he was the first deal that they finished this summer. Xhaka has already had his impact on the squad and will try to cement his place in the squad for years to come.
