#9 Left winger: Jadon Sancho (2021-2022 Premier League season)

Jadon Sancho's incredible spell at Dortmund made him a target for two consecutive seasons. But it was in the summer of 2021 that Manchester United succeeded in buying the prodigy with a huge sum of £73m.

Sancho's ability to score goals and create assists made him a phenom. He scored 50 goals and made 64 assists in 137 senior appearances for Borussia Dortmund.

But with two goals and two assists in 22 games this season, Sancho is yet to channel the form and consistency he once exhibited at Borussia Dortmund.

It could be as a result of trying to acclimatize to the PL since it is his debut season. Sancho had a poor start to the season as well but ended up racking up eight goals and 11 assists in the Bundesliga. So, history might just be repeating itself again.


#10 Right winger: Nicolas Pepe (2019-2020 Premier League season)

Nicolas Pepe became Arsenal's record signing when he joined them from Lille in 2019 for £72 million. He scored 22 goals and provided 11 assists in 38 league appearances in the 2018-2019 season for the French side.

In the summer of 2019, he bettered Arsenal's record fee of €62m formerly held by Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who now plays for Barcelona.

The Ivorian had a hand in the team's FA Cup victory in his debut season, scoring once and making two assists in five games. He ended his campaign that season with five goals in 31 EPL appearances.

Pepe's most productive phase in the EPL came the following season. He scored 10 goals in 29 matches and was crowned man of the match four times. He has a goal and an assist from 11 league games played so far this season.


#11 Centre Forward: Romelu Lukaku (2021-2022 Premier League season)

Romelu Lukaku, also known as Big Rom, is Chelsea's most expensive signing of all time, with a sum of £97.5m from Inter Milan. The latter bought Lukaku in their club relcord of £68.1m from Manchester United back in 2019.

The Belgian does have a thing for EPL clubs as this is not the first time the 6ft3in individual has been here. He has had spells in Chelsea, West Brom Albion, Everton and United, scoring a total of 118 goals in the league.

Since his return to Chelsea, Lukaku has been heavily criticized for his inconsistency this season, netting just five times in 17 league appearances
