The dedications of the season in the Premier League: football writers choose their best summer purchases | Football News

Clubs outside the top four dominate our list of writers

Who signed the season in the Premier League? Sky sportsFootball journalists have a say …

On a list dominated by teams outside the top four teams, our editors give detailed verdicts on who they think has had the greatest impact since moving in the summer.

Salomon Rondon (Newcastle – on loan from West Brom)

It seems that every time I covered Newcastle this season, Salomon Rondon was a key element of a positive result for Rafa Benitez's men. The 29-year-old scored 10 goals and five badists for a comfortable season without fearing relegation to the Toon. He leads the line with great authority, in a style that makes the most of his teammates in the advanced zones, in addition, he added more goals to his game this season. Fans hope that his loan agreement will become permanent during the summer. (Lewis Jones)

James Maddison (Leicester – Norwich, undisclosed)

James Maddison's first campaign was excellent in the Premier League and, despite a really hectic season for Leicester, the 22-year-old remained impeccable and extremely impressive in midfield. He debuted in 28 of Leicester's 31 league games – showing his importance to Claude Puel and Brendan Rodgers – with six goals scored, which is already the second best return of his career. He also created 81 scoring opportunities for his team – the top team among the top five leagues in Europe with Alejandro Gomez of Atalanta and Memphis Depay of Lyon. At such a young age, it will be exciting to see its development evolve over the next few years. (Charlotte Marsh)

Alisson (Liverpool – Roma, £ 67m)

Brian Clough said that it was impossible to win in football without a high level goalkeeper. Liverpool supporters will testify after the summer arrival of Alisson from Rome. The Reds were badly handled last season by Loris Karius, subject to error, which pushed them to spend the record sum of 67 million pounds sterling to bring the Brazilian international to Anfield. But he proved that the money had been well spent, the goalkeeper having ensured the club's defense a tranquility until then unknown, including 17 draws with a Premier League top and 18 goals conceded until Now. And maybe his decisive moment came in December with an exceptional save at hand to prevent Andre Gomes from opening the scoring in a Merseyside derby in Liverpool, which would be decisive for the win.

Raul Jimenez (Wolves – on loan from Benfica)

Despite a total of 82 goals to promote the Premier League last season, Leo Bonatini, the Wolves scorer, has scored only 12 times in all competitions. Enter the scene to the left of Raul Jimenez, the last of a long series of imports from Portuguese clubs, and have had a difficult time with the national champion Benfica. A loan of one season to Molineux took his time, with three goals in the first 13 games of Jimenez in the Premier League. But the Mexican has regained his motivation and his number 9 quality, as well as the 15 goals he has scored for his credit club, have both contributed to their success this season. (Ron Walker)

Felipe Anderson (West Ham – Lazio, £ 35m)

Although he is not an identical substitute for Dimitri Payet, Felipe Anderson has certainly pissed off Hammers fans instead of Frenchman. The Brazilian took a long time to start, but then he scored seven goals in nine games in November and December, and there is a clear reason why Real Madrid is considering playing for the 25-year-old. He can not catch Eden. Danger. He may not have scored in 2019, but Anderson remains a huge threat to West Ham; his flight creates space for others and often goes unnoticed, and his statistics are among the best. He is ranked in the top 10 of the Premier League for opportunities created, third pbades, dribbles, pbades and tackles. (Gerard Brand)

Matteo Guendouzi (Arsenal – Lorient, £ 8m)

The arrival of Lucas Torreira at Sampdoria may have made headlines at the Emirates Stadium last summer and, though he had an impressive early career in Premier League, it is the performances of Matteo Guendouzi that have attracted me to Arsenal.

Engaged from Lorient for just 8 million euros by former Arsenal recruitment manager, Sven Mislintat, the Frenchman has been touted as a future. However, he quickly imposed himself in Unai Emery's plans with an impressive number of performances in the middle of the park and since then has been a key element of the Gunners' midfield. He has made 37 appearances in all competitions this season and his all-terrain style has already seduced by Arsenal fans. There is always an occasional mistake in his game, but at just 19, gunners have a real gem of a player. (Oliver Yew)

David Brooks (Bournemouth – Sheffield United, £ 11.5m)

David Brooks was so small and skinny that he was struggling to find a club when he was released by Manchester City at the age of 17, but Sheffield United was rewarded for wagering on him at that time and the situation is the same for Bournemouth this season. The 21-year-old has been brilliant since his arrival at Vitality Stadium at £ 11.5m. To such an extent that he has already secured a new long-term contract with the club and has awarded Gareth Bale and Aaron Ramsey the Welsh footballer title of the year.

His vision and technique make him a pleasure to watch, and he has also demonstrated the physical and mental resilience to climb the ladder. There have been six goals and four badists in the Premier League, but its importance to Bournemouth exceeds those numbers. He is an example for young players around the world. For the first six parties who now admire him from afar, his ascent is a lesson in the importance of patience and perseverance. (Nick Wright)

Ben Foster (Watford – from West Bromwich Albion, free)

Ben Foster had the third best save in the Premier League this season and is second in the number of high losses (29). The 35-year-old was busy but also helped to help Watford's surprise challenge to qualify for the Europa League.

Manager Javi Gracia was not hesitant to present Foster as his No. 1 ahead of Heurelho Gomes at the start of the campaign. And even the Brazilian predecessor of Foster said to the Watford Observer This week, the former England international is currently the best goalkeeper in the country.

Foster won the Battersea London Football Awards' goalkeeper award of the year in February and will surely become the Watford season player. (James Kilpatrick)
