Premier League 2017/18: 5 most shocking signings of the summer transfer window

#1 Renato Sanches: From Bayern Munich to Swansea

If he does well, Bayern will be licking their lips at the prospect of getting him back

After having failed to impress in his debut season in Germany with Bayern Munich, Renato Sanches seemed to be on the move for regular playing time. Clubs like Liverpool, AC Milan and Monaco had drawn heavy links with the youngest winner of a UEFA EURO trophy, but Paul Clement pulled off a massive coup in signing a much-coveted youngster.

It’s said that the former Bayern Munich and Real Madrid assistant manager used his relationship with Carlo Ancelotti to impeccable effect in signing a player who needs to prove everyone of his true credentials. Sanches could never break into the first team at Bayern last season and needs more time on the pitch to get back to his best and come close to becoming what was expected out of him when he starred in Portugal’s Euro win in 2016.

It could turn out to be a move that will not just help Swansea survive the dreaded red zone, but can also help them replace the now departed Gylfi Sigurdsson too, with the former Spurs man now an Everton player.

If he does well, Bayern will be licking their lips at the prospect of getting him back. If it doesn’t work out, they’ll know what to do with him.
