Summer 2017 won’t be forgotten quickly. It very much feels like a crossroads for football, the transfer window just gone seeing the first ever £200million player in Neymar, whose transfer was essentially funded by a nation state, and the Premier League spend a staggering £1.4billion.
Whether we’re on the edge of the abyss or whether those players can soon justify their price-tags remains to be seen; for all the horror and hyperbole, some of the sums splashed out during the summer, even for largely average players, could become small-fry in a few years’ time.
But with the transfer window now closed and the dust starting to settle, we’re incredibly keen to hear the opinions of Premier League fans. So, Southampton supporters, who do you rate as the Premier League’s signing of the summer?
Below is our list of 35 candidates – let us know who you rate and who you don’t by giving each one a thumbs up or a thumbs down.
