Watford had signed as many as 10 players this summer with almost twice the number leaving the club as Italian manager Walter Mazzarri shook things up at Vicarage Road. Among the notable arrivals were Younes Kaboul from Sunderland and Daryl Janmaat from Newcastle.

But their biggest signing was Roberto Pereyra from Juventus. The midfielder, who can also play on the right wing, cost the Hornets £13m but he has already shown what he is capable of.

In their loss to Arsenal last weekend, it was Pereyra who came on and scored on his EPL debut to give them a sniff of a chance against a Gunner side that was struggling in the second half. Pereyra is a strong crosser of the ball and it remains to be seen if Odion Ighalo and Troy Deeney can profit from the same.


10) Hull City: Ryan Mason – £13m

Ryan Mason was another Spurs player who did not get his chance under Pochettino and moved to Hull City on deadline day to get some more game time. A capable defensive midfielder in the right setup, the 25-year-old just couldn’t compete with the likes of Mousa Dembele and Victor Wanyama.

Hull signed eight players this summer but Mason was easily their biggest purchase at £13m – £9.5m more than their next highest purchase.
