Top 5 signings of the 2017 summer transfer window

#2 Neymar (Paris Saint-Germain)

The world's most expensive footballer has proven his worth in Paris

When Paul Pogba signed for Manchester United in August 2016 for £89m (€105m), Arsene Wenger commented that it won't be too long before £200m is spent on a player.

Exactly a year later, PSG broke the bank to prise Neymar away from Barcelona for a scarcely believable €222m.

The general feeling emerged that to be considered the best in the world, he needs to step out of Messi's shadow.

He needed to be the main man. And to be fair to him, he has grabbed the spotlight at Paris. He has been giving superb displays consistently over the season with people even commenting that the Brazilian magician is too good for Ligue 1.

It wouldn't be a stretch to say that he has arguably been the best in the world this season behind the legendary Argentine attacker he once played with.

Playing 30 games across all competitions, Neymar has been directly involved in a mind-boggling total of 44 goals - 28 scored, 16 assisted.

Featuring in 20 out of the 27 games in the league (starting all of them), he has completed an outrageous 7.1 dribbles per game while also averaging 3.5 key passes.

Part of another incredible front three (this time his comrades being Edinson Cavani and Kylian Mbappe), Neymar has been the key attacker for PSG, with the club alive in all competitions as of now - comfortably atop Ligue 1 and in the final of Coupe de la Ligue.

However, on 25 February 2018, their 3-0 league win over Marseille was marred by an injury to the star man - Neymar suffered a sprained ankle and fractured metatarsal that could keep the world's most expensive player out of action for six to eight weeks.

His unfortunate absence in the crucial second leg match at home against Real Madrid in the Champions League Round Of 16 tie will be a huge blow to the chances of PSG advancing to the quarter-finals as they look to overturn a 3-1 deficit from the first leg.

The injury notwithstanding, Neymar has been phenomenal at his new club, showing everyone that he can be the main man at a European club and still be dazzlingly brilliant.

When I say that he has probably been among the top two players in the world this season, you'd assume he's the best signing, right?
