The 25-year-old is blessed with flair and creativity, having racked up 32 goal contributions (14 goals, 18 assists) in his last two Premier League campaigns. The versatile attacking midfielder also impressed at Euro 2020 for England.

Grealish, who can also play on the wings, scored on his first Manchester City start. He has also tallied an assist in his three games for his new club.

Grealish already looks like a quality addition to the star-studded City roster. Pep Guardiola will hope that with the addition of Grealish, City will win the Premier League again and possibly their first Champions League title this season.

He made his name as a world-class player during his highly successful four-season stint at Borussia Dortmund. Following a year-long pursuit, Sancho was snapped up by Manchester United, who splurged close to €100 million for his services this summer.

Sancho made over 100 goal contributions across competitions at Dortmund. However, he has made a modest start to life at Old Trafford. The 21-year-old made his first start for United last weekend but is yet to provide a goal contribution in three games.

Nevertheless, with quality teammates around him, especially up front, Sancho should not take too long to get going.


# Centre Forward - Romelu Lukaku (Chelsea) - €115 million

Lukaku, who also enjoyed a prolific Euro 2020 campaign, has hit the ground running at Stamford Bridge.

He scored against Arsenal on his second debut for the Blues. The Belgian could be a key player in Chelsea's quest to win the Premier League this season.
