English media lists the best 11 summer signings after the first 5 rounds of the Premier League: Manchester City and three other clubs each have 2 players, Liverpool has none.

The 2025-26 Premier League season has completed 5 rounds, and British outlet Football Hub has selected the best 11 summer transfers of the 2025 Premier League window (433 formation). Manchester City, Arsenal, Bournemouth, and Everton each have 2 players included, while the current leaders and biggest spenders this summer, Liverpool, have no players chosen.

Best 11 summer signings of the 2025 Premier League window (433):

• Three forwards: Grealish (Everton), João Pedro (Chelsea), Kudus (Tottenham)
• Three midfielders: Hall (Everton), Reinders (Manchester City), Suwimendi (Arsenal)
• Four defenders: Truffert (Bournemouth), Diakité (Bournemouth), Moslac (Arsenal), Walker (Burnley)
• Goalkeeper: Donnarumma (Manchester City)

Fans joked that Bournemouth sold four players from their main backline plus goalkeeper this summer, yet quickly developed a new defense this season. After 5 rounds, they have 4 wins and 1 loss, totaling 10 points and ranking fourth, tied with second-placed Arsenal. Isn’t that impressive?

Other fans remarked that changing environment brings new life: Grealish moved to Everton and leads the Premier League assist chart with 4 assists. Here's a joke — last season at Manchester City, Grealish had only 1 assist in the Premier League, and the season before that also just 1 assist. Manchester City’s biggest gain this summer was Donnarumma, who delivers results for the money and is a world-class goalkeeper.
