Five Premier League stars to watch this season

The 2026-27 Premier League season is set to feature a galaxy of star players. In the starting lineup is Morgan Rogers, Chelsea's marquee recruit who was signed from Aston Villa for a British record £117 million. Rogers aims to lead Xabi Alonso's revolution at Stamford Bridge after helping Aston Villa win the Europa League.

Meanwhile, Manchester City's Elliot Anderson, also paid a British record £116 million, will step into the void left by Rodri and Bernardo Silva. Anderson's smooth passing and composed demeanor will be crucial for his new team's success.

For Arsenal, Brazil midfielder Bruno Guimaraes has been signed to bolster the already strong squad. Arsenal's captain Martin Odegaard has praised Guimaraes' natural fit into the team.

Tottenham's record signing, Italy midfielder Sandro Tonali, was signed for a reported £75 million. With his relentless work ethic and quality in possession, Tonali aims to prove his worth on his first season with the club.

Lastly, Virgil van Dijk signs for Liverpool to bolster the defensive unit that lacked authority last season. Van Dijk will be working to form a connection with his new partner at the back, 21-year-old Ibrahima Konate.
