The 2021/22 Premier League season begins today with top signings across Europe expected to be in action.Lukaku
Signed as an 18-year-old as the apparent heir to Didier Drogba, Lukaku quickly grew frustrated at his lack of opportunities in the first team. After lifting the Champions League last season, Chelsea are hoping Lukaku is the final piece required to make Thomas Tuchel’s side Premier League title challengers.Jadon Sancho – Borussia Dortmund to Manchester United, £73m
The fee shattered the previous British record of £89 million paid by Manchester United to sign Paul Pogba from Juventus in 2016. He has made 213 appearances for Villa since his debut in 2014, scoring 32 goals and laying on 43 assists. This is a central defender of speed, strength and skill, who, at the age of 22, is ready to take the next step. Already there is excitement at the potential of a partnership with Virgil van Dijk.
The four-time Champions League winner could be a steal in a deal rising to £41m given his experience and class. “Varane is a good age, he’s got massive experience and a good centre back alongside him and it’s a good back four. He’s not coming into a team where he’s going to have to hold it together. “It’s a big step, but I feel confident because we have to be,” the midfielder said. “In the football world, you have to feel confident about yourself, but I’m looking to play in this league and I can’t wait to start.”
“He has enjoyed a successful career at Leverkusen and we are now looking forward to watching him show his skills and talents for Aston Villa in the Premier League.”
