Chelsea has officially announced their newest acquisition, with Pedro Neto joining the team from Wolves. This transfer has caught the attention of football legend Paul Merson, who has named his top three best Premier League transfers of the summer window. Along with Chelsea's signing of Neto, Tottenham and West Ham have also made some impressive additions to their teams.
Last Friday marked the end of the English transfer window, and it saw a whopping £2billion spent by top-flight clubs on new players. Chelsea, once again, made the biggest splash by bringing in 11 new players under the leadership of their new manager, Enzo Maresca. A quarter of that hefty sum was used to secure the services of Neto, who was previously a target for rival teams Arsenal and Tottenham. Even though Chelsea's transfer policy has been criticized in the past, both Merson and fellow football pundit Jamie Carragher agree that Neto was a good buy.
Merson took to Twitter to share his thoughts on the new Chelsea signing, stating, "I like Neto at Chelsea. If they can keep him fit and on the pitch, he's unplayable. He's a top, top player, but the only concern is his fitness." This has been a recurring issue for Neto, and Chelsea will need to manage it carefully in order to get the best out of their new star.
In addition to Neto, Merson also named two other standout signings from the summer window. One of them being Max Kilman, who joined West Ham from Wolves for a fee of £40m. Merson believes Kilman's addition to the team will take them to the next level, stating, "He's a top defender, and you need players like him when you have attacking players constantly pushing forward. He's a solid and reliable centre-back, and I think he'll make a big impact at West Ham."
Meanwhile, Tottenham made their own big signing by bringing in Dominic Solanke from Bournemouth for a club record fee of £65m. Merson is confident that Solanke will elevate the team to new heights, saying, "He's an outstanding signing for Tottenham, and he'll definitely take them to the next level. He's a prolific goal scorer, and even though he missed a few chances against Leicester, he kept getting in the right positions. That's what matters."
Overall, it seems like Chelsea, Tottenham, and West Ham have all made impressive signings this summer, and it will be interesting to see how these new players will impact their respective teams. As the new season unfolds, fans will be eagerly watching to see if these transfers pay off and lead to success for their clubs.
