Club-by-club transfers in

In most cases, new signings should be treated with caution going into the new season, however there are always transfers that capture the attention of fantasy managers.

Erling Haaland was unsurprisingly a popular pick in his debut season for Manchester City two years ago, while Nicolas Jackson was highly owned at the start of the 2023/24 campaign – but disappointed in his early days.

Below, you’ll find the key stats for every summer signing, arranged by club.

Arsenal

Loans made permanent: David Raya

Raheem Sterling (MID) – Chelsea

Winger signed on loan from the London club
379 Premier League appearances, with 123 goals and 63 assists

Riccardo Calafiori (DEF) – Bologna

22-year-old Italian defender, capable of playing at either centre-back or left-back

No centre-back managed more assists in 2023/24 across the big five European leagues, with a high pass completion of 89.8% ranking third in Serie A
Could end up as the Gunners’ starting left-back, with Mikel Arteta tending to invert the full-back in this position, but has been eased in so far

Riccardo Calafiori

Mikel Merino (MID) – Real Sociedad

28-year-old central midfielder who joined Sociedad from Newcastle in 2018
Made 24 Premier League appearances, scoring one and assisting one
Managed 326 ball recoveries last season, more than any other player in Europe’s top leagues
Unlikely to be an FPL option but defensive abilities could come in handy in Telegraph

Amadou Onana (MID) – Everton

Deep-lying midfielder who could help to improve Villa’s defensive prospects and make them less reliant on Boubacar Kamara, who suffered an ACL injury in February
Averaged 2.7 tackles per start for Everton last season
Lack of goal threat (scored two last season) limits FPL appeal but could be an option as a tackling Telegraph midfielder

Jaden Philogene (MID) – Hull

Was linked with a number of other clubs before Villa activated a repurchase clause in his contract
Can play on either flank

Two goals, two assists in 16 Bundesliga games and one goal in seven in Champions League
Former Chelsea left-back was used further up the pitch by Mauricio Pochettino in pre-season 2023
Faces competition at left-back from Lucas Digne but £37.5m fee suggests he’ll get plenty of game time. Alex Moreno left on loan, reducing the competition

Brighton

Ferdi Kadioglu (DEF) – Fenerbahce

24-year-old Turkish defender, capable of playing left or right-back and in central midfield
Largely played left-back last season (42 games) over right-back (nine games) – but some Brighton fans think he could play on the right

The Portugal international’s dribbling ability was integral to Wolves’ success last season, with 11 assists in just 18 starts
Versatile enough to play anywhere across the frontline, but favours the left wing

Filip Jorgensen (GK) – Villarreal

22-year-old Danish goalkeeper
Made 37 appearances in all competitions and will compete with Robert Sanchez for the number-one jersey
The goalkeeper is an important part of Enzo Maresca’s system, so passing abilities are important

Links up with new Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca, who coached Leicester to promotion from the Championship
Led the Foxes for goal involvements (26), with 12 goals and 14 assists, ahead of Jamie Vardy (20)

Timo Werner (FOR) – RB Leipzig

Returns on loan after joining Spurs in January
Two goals and four assists over 13 appearances last season

Timo Werner’s stats

Archie Gray (MID) – Leeds

Signed for a reported £30m, having been close to a move to Brentford
Can play in midfield or at right-back
Although highly rated, may not be a strong FPL option given he managed just two assists in the Championship last season
Could become a budget option in other formats, averaging 2.1 tackles per game. May pick up bonus points in Sky if he becomes a regular, with Yves Bissouma scoring 52 points from passing and tackling as a Spurs central midfielder

Lucas Bergvall (MID) – Djurgarden

18-year-old prospect named Championship Young Player of the Season
Scored three goals in 29 games in all competitions for the Swedish side last season

West Ham

Carlos Soler (MID) – PSG

27-year-old central midfielder, signed on loan
Can also play as a full-back but more likely to play in midfield
Eight goals and eight assists in 63 games for PSG, 36 goals and 31 assists in 226 for Valencia

Niclas Fullkrug (FOR) – Borussia Dortmund

6ft 2ins, 31-year-old centre-forward who featured in Germany’s Euro 2024 campaign, scoring twice
Scored 16 in 46 games in all competitions for Dortmund last season, helping them to the Champions League final
Club career record of 159 goals and 55 assists in 417 games – all in Germany
Should be first-choice striker but Michail Antonio will get minutes up front too

Niclas Fullkrug

Aaron Wan-Bissaka (DEF) – Manchester United

Full-back who made 22 league appearances last season, assisting two goals from an expected assists (xA) of 1.47
Not renowned for his attacking prospects but likely to be number-one right-back for his new club

Jean-Clair Todibo (DEF) – OGC Nice

24-year-old French international centre-back.
Renowned for his pace and aerial ability.
Could displace Kurt Zouma from the West Ham starting XI.
Not the most prolific goalscorer, with two career goals.

Guido Rodriguez (MID) – Real Betis

30-year-old defensive midfielder who joined on a free transfer
Part of Argentina’s World Cup and Copa America-winning squads
Two La Liga goals in 24 appearances last season
Averaged 2.2 tackles per game in the league – could be an option in Telegraph if he eventually cements a place in the team

Crysencio Summerville (MID) – Leeds

22-year-old winger, with 19 goals and nine Championship assists last season
Named EFL Championship Player of the Season
Should he become a regular starter, likely to play down the left, with Mohammed Kudus central and Lucas Paqueta deeper

Maximilian Kilman (DEF) – Wolves

Kilman links back up with Julen Lopetegui who managed him at Wolves
West Ham recorded the fourth worst expected goals conceded (xGC) last season and allowed the fourth most shots on goal
Kilman could therefore help improve the defensive prospects of West Ham as a whole, making their backline more investable

Luis Guilherme (MID) – Palmeiras

Billed as an ‘exciting’ 18-year-old winger who can play across the midfield
One assist in 24 league games last season

Wes Foderingham (GK) – Sheffield United

Unlikely to take over as number one from Alphonse Areola, who had a strong 2023/24 season

Wolves

Loans made permanent: Tommy Doyle

Sam Johnstone (GK) – Crystal Palace

Likely to be Wolves’ number one, having come straight in against Forest
£4.4m option in FPL

Carlos Forbs (MID) – Ajax

20-year-old winger who can play either wing
Former Manchester City academy player who joined Ajax last season
Scored two and assisted four in 21 games for the Dutch club
Loan signing

Andre (MID) – Fluminense

23-year-old defensive midfielder
‘Relishes a tackle’ according to Wolves
Averaged 1.8 tackles per game in the Brazilian league last season

Bastien Meupiyou (DEF) – Nantes

18-year-old centre-back, described as a ‘promising young defender’ by the club
Versatile, having played in central midfield as well as at left-back

Jorgen Strand Larsen (FOR) – Celta Viga

Scored 13 La Liga goals last season, the joint-12th highest total
6ft 4 ins Norwegian, 24, has 14 caps for his country, scoring three times

Pedro Lima (DEF) – Recife

18-year-old right back signed for the first-team squad
Two goals and two assists in all competitions for the Brazilian second division club
Wolves sporting director Matt Hobbs said: “…I expect him to be really competitive and push the players who might be ahead of him at the moment, but in Nelson [Semedo], I think there’s no better right-back for him to learn from.”

Rodrigo Gomes (MID) – SC Braga

Portuguese Under-21 international, 20
Nine goals and eight assists in 36 games last season on loan at top-flight Estoril
Usually a right-winger, also played on the left and at wing-back
