Matchweek 4 of the new Premier League season has the potential to be another packed weekend, thanks to some of the summer transfer moves unveiled this week by the new sides. September 1, the deadline for the summer transfer window is soon. Now a lot of teams have their squads lined up, and recruits are starting to integrate themselves into their schedules.
On the weekend, there are some interesting games such as Chelsea away at Hull City, Liverpool away at Fulham, Tottenham away at Everton and Manchester United away at Manchester City. They may be setups for some of the Premier League’s newest recruits to make an instant impression.
Man City have already allowed the fans to see their big sign this summer. Enzo Fernandez and Iliman Ndiaye made their debuts in the club’s 1-0 victory over Coventry City, with Fernandez impressing after completing his £125 million move from Chelsea. Their presence may indicate they might start to get greater opportunities as the series goes on.
Other big-ticket additions will also be on the agenda. Liverpool’s acquisition of Bradley Barcola, Chelsea’s Morgan Rogers and Manchester United’s Carlos Baleba were among the headline moves of an expensive summer window. This was just about £3.46 billion which is a new transfer record for clubs of the Premier League.
In the case of a newly promoted team or a team that’s trying to rebuild, the new signings can be especially valuable. Hull City’s squad is an expensive one they have had to invest in and so far have got going well in the top flight. They will get another chance to demonstrate their ability to deal with Premiership pressures when they face Chelsea.
Managers have free rein with their whole teams now that the transfer window has closed. The eyewoulds will be fascinated to see how the new recruits get their first naming before this weekend, and which ones will get big opportunities and go on to become major figures.
