PETR CECH (Chelsea to Arsenal, €14.1million): The Arsenal goalkeeper may have endured a nightmare debut, but he is still expected to be a good signing ultimately, and he doesn’t have too much competition in terms of goalkeeper purchases.
Nathaniel Clyne (Southampton to Liverpool, €17.6million): Clyne looked excellent for Southampton last year and had a decent debut against Stoke on Sunday.

Toby Alderweireld (Atletico Madrid to Tottenham, undisclosed): Impressed for the Saints in a loan spell last year, and is consequently expected to improve a Tottenham defence that looked shaky at times previously.
Bastian Schweinsteiger (Bayern Munich to Man United, €20.3million): Schweinsteiger came on against Tottenham last weekend, and immediately looked at home at Old Trafford, shouting instructions and dictating the play.
Morgan Schneiderlin (Southampton to Man United, €35.2million): To sign a midfielder of proven Premier League quality will surely provide a boost to United this year.
Xhedran Shaqiri (Inter to Stoke, €16.9 million):Only confirmed today, Shaqiri’s purchase is the latest example of Stoke’s increasing ambition under Mark Hughes.
Raheem Sterling (Liverpool to Man City, €69million): He may have been an expensive signing, but it would hardly be a surprise if Sterling went on to have an influential season in a City shirt.
Memphis Depay (PSV to Man United, €43.7million): He had a quiet debut against Spurs, but hopes remain high that the young Dutch winger will make a significant impact at Old Trafford.
Christian Benteke (Aston Villa to Liverpool, €45.8million): Another who had a somewhat anti-climactic debut, Benteke averaged roughly a goal every two games with Villa, and there’s no reason why he can’t build on that form at Anfield.
Subs: Sergio Romero, Robert Huth, Roberto Firmino, Andre Ayew, Danny Ings, Kieran Trippier, James Milner, Fabian Delph.
