This season, many strong Premier League clubs have brought in new attackers. After two rounds, let’s take a look at the performances of these fresh forwards!
Liverpool’s new forward Ekitiq (23), acquired for €95 million from Frankfurt, caused some worry among supporters, yet he scored in consecutive matches, achieving 2 goals and 1 assist in two games, demonstrating steady performance with a blend of nimbleness and strength.
Chelsea’s new striker João Pedro (23), bought for €63.7 million from Brighton, proved himself at the Club World Cup and delivered 1 goal and 2 assists in the first two Premier League matches, showing reliable output; another newcomer, Drape (22), signed for €35 million from Ipswich, has yet to score or assist in the opening two games and still needs to improve.
Arsenal’s new forward Yokres (27), signed for €65.8 million from Sporting CP, scored 2 goals in the first two Premier League rounds, often playing with a confident, playful gesture of running his fingers through his hair.
Manchester United refreshed their front three this summer, spending €74.2 million to bring Cunha (26) from Wolves, €75 million for Mboromo (26) from Brentford, and €76.5 million for Sheshko (22) from Leipzig. The result? United have failed to win in the first two Premier League matches, with their new front trio collectively silent—0 goals and 0 assists in two rounds. Fans joked that the upcoming home game against newly promoted Burnley might already be a crucial test for manager Amorim’s job security, and the Red Devils’ new attacking trio need to sharpen their skills to face the “Red Wine Army” hard!
