Premier League 2018-19: Top 10 signings made by the clubs this summer till now

#6 Lucas Torreira

Lucas Torreira comes in with the tenacity of keeping a tight defense amidst clean tackles

Previous Club: Sampdoria

Current Club: Arsenal

Nationality: Uruguayan

Age: 22

Lucas Torreira comes in with the tenacity of keeping a tight defense amidst clean tackles. He went through the entire World Cup campaign with Uruguay as a central defensive midfielder and did not pick up a single card.

Torreira is what Arsenal need in midfield. Granit Xhaka has produced a few bullets in his offensive displays but offers very little defensively.

He has been clumsy throughout his campaigns for Arsenal picking up 15 yellows and two reds costing the Gunners stability in high-pressure situations.

Torreira also has a knack for quick distribution and with Aaron Ramsey or new recruit Guendouzi, the Uruguayan could build up a stellar defensive midfield at Arsenal.

#5 Jorginho

Jorginho could boost up the Chelsea midfield

Previous club: Napoli

Current Club: Chelsea

Nationality: Italian

Age: 26

The fact that champions Manchester City wanted him should speak volumes for his worth. Jorginho was supposed to replace Fernandinho at City but Sarri prised him away having worked with him at Napoli for the last three years.

With N'Golo Kante in partnership, this could be a chance for Chelsea to have a robust midfield ever since the departure of Matic and could very well be the beginning of something beautiful.

He has won the Coppa Italia with Napoli in the 2013/14 season and the Supercoppa Italiana which is the equivalent of the Community Shield in Italy, in 2014. He could very well be the decisive force in Chelsea's Community Shield match-up with Manchester City, this Sunday.

#4 Xherdan Shaqiri

Shaqiri was the standout player for Stoke last season

Previous Club: Stoke City

Current Club: Liverpool

Nationality: Swiss

Age: 26

Xherdan Shaqiri has been around the block and knows what is expected of him. He has won the Swiss League with FC Basel thrice and gone on to win the Bundesliga and the Champions League with Bayern Munich.

After a brief stint with Inter Milan in Serie A, he transferred to the English Premier League and has proved that he can do it on a cold and rainy night in Stoke, albeit for Stoke City.

After the relegation of Stoke, he transferred to Liverpool after they triggered his release clause and even though he may find starting positions limited at the Merseyside - he will definitely create the impact when brought on.
