Premier League transfers ranked: The 50 best deals of the 2026 summer window
The Premier League's summer transfer window came to a predictably frenzied conclusion on Tuesday night, with English clubs breaking all sorts of records as they scrambled to lock in their squads for the 2026/27 season. But, who got a good deal, and who was sold a turkey? Below, we have ranked the 50 best Premier League deals this summer based on the following criteria: current ability, potential…
1. Joao Gomes from Wolves to Aston Villa for £38m: Ability rated 6, potential 7, value 5. Villa's debut saw Gomes give a goal away before being sent off against Brighton.
2. Konstantinos Tzolakis from Olympiacos to Hull City for £20m: Ability rated 6, potential 7, value 5. Hull's first game was a perfect 100% start for the young Greek goalkeeper.
3. El Hadji Malik Diouf from West Ham to Brentford for £40m: Ability rated 6, potential 7.5, value 4.5. The energetic forward is a strong crosser and should improve defensively at Brentford, despite the high price tag.
4. Nobel Mendy from Rayo Vallecano to Hull City for £21.4m: Ability rated 6, potential 7, value 6. The strong, quick, and athletic 22-year-old is a set-piece threat and looks like a win for Hull's scouting team.
5. Matias Fernandez-Pardo from Lille to Newcastle for £55m: Ability rated 6, potential 8, value 5. The Belgian forward, at just 21, is a versatile player ready for Newcastle's investment in young, foreign talent.
