The transfer window has seen plenty of comings and goings across the English top-flight, but which new arrival will have the biggest impact?

The countdown to the new Premier League season continues as clubs up and down the top-flight put the finishing touches to their squads and tactical plans before the opening round of games this coming weekend.

That means its predictions season, and here at GOAL we're no different. Our writers have been giving their takes on all the biggest issues, from the the likely Golden Boot winners and surprise packages to the biggest disappointments and those managers who will be hoping to avoid 'winning' the sack race.

It's been a monster transfer window heading into the new campaign, and we've taken a look at the potential best signings of the summer, and which players will prove to be the best value for money over the next nine months:

Manchester City FC'Cherki can fill City's KDB void'

Mark Doyle: Florian Wirtz is likely to be the most popular pick here – and that's wholly understandable. Liverpool may have paid a colossal amount of cash for the German’s services, but the kid is absolute quality, and he should run amok in the Reds' star-studded forward line. However, if we're talking about the best value-for-money signing, Rayan Cherki should prove an absolute steal for Manchester City. The 21-year-old France international is an outstanding young talent, more than capable of filling the creative void left in Pep Guardiola's team by Kevin De Bruyne. City have done so, so well to pick him up for just £34m.

Tom Maston: After the summer signings of 2024 largely failed to deliver, Premier League clubs haven't held back this time around, with a number of clubs having spent like never before on some of the game's most exciting and talented individuals. I like the look of West Ham's new left-back, El Hadji Malick Diouf, as a potential sleeper hit, while both Martin Zubimendi and Viktor Gyokeres could be game-changers for Arsenal. But it's hard to look past Florian Wirtz being the most impactful new arrival into the league. The Germany international is one of the best players in world football, full stop; him scheming behind Liverpool's new-look forward line promises to make the Reds even more of a handful to defend against than they were last term.

Amee Ruszkai: There is understandably some scepticism about Viktor Gyokeres' 39 goals in the Portuguese top-flight last season and just how transferrable that will be to the Premier League, especially given how some other strikers making that same move have fared recently. But he's not new to England and the general nuances of the domestic game, having impressed plenty at Coventry City, and his prolific Champions League campaign also shows he hasn't just been an average striker thriving in a weaker league. I see Gyokeres excelling in north London and taking Arsenal's ability to challenge for the title up a notch.

Stephen Darwin: Whisper it, but Manchester United might finally be starting to get their act together, or at least they are in the transfer market. After years of signings that have failed miserably, the additions of Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo are a significant step in the right direction. Both are proven in the Premier League and in the Cameroon international, United now have a player who is able to combine power, finesse and an ability to finish chances that's been sorely lacking at Old Trafford.
