Sancho can have maximum impact at Manchester United

The 22-year-old made 21 appearances for Leipzig in the 2020-21 season, including eight Bundesliga starts as the club finished second. Konate's arrival strengthens Jurgen Klopp's defensive options. Konate can be lethal aerially and is blessed with pace. He has serious skills on the ball.
Emiliano Buendia will hope to
Aston Villa made Emiliano Buendia their record signing, splashing out £33m on the Norwich City player. Buendia signed a five-year deal as he sought a move away from Norwich after helping them earn a promotion. The 24-year-old scored 15 goals and racked up 16 assists last season to help Norwich win the Championship title. He is highly versatile and will boost Villa's attack.
Boubakary Soumare is a valuable addition for the Foxes
Leicester City signed Lille mid-fielder Boubakary Soumare on a five-year deal, reported to be around £17m. Soumare helped Lille win Ligue 1 last season and is set to be a great addition in Leicester's mid-field. The 22-year-old is an excellent passer and handles pressure well. He can carry the ball well through mid-field and works effectively in transition phases. He is an excellent dribbler.
