Top 10 summer signings ahoy. There is no place for the most expensive Premier League signing, nor for any of Aston Villa or Chelsea s 17 new signings.

10) Kalvin Phillips (Ipswich Town, loan)
We know he was fairly shambolic for West Ham in the second half of last season, but this is a transfer that we really, really like. Kieran McKenna is going to get Phillips enjoying his football again.
9) Riccardo Calafiori (Arsenal, £38m)
Mikel Arteta will hope this is the signing that finally gets Arsenal s paws on the Premier League trophy. Calafiori certainly makes them a stronger side, especially given their frailties at left-bac…

Arne Slot if off to a flying start as Liverpool manager but Chris Sutton claims rookie Erik ten Hag provides a caveat for the Dutchman.
Slot replaced legendary Reds boss Jurgen Klopp in the summer, a tough task no matter the expertise, but has won all three of his opening three games, beating Ipswich, Brentford and Manchester United without conceding a goal.
Federico Chiesa was the only new arrival in the summer, though Giorgi Mamardashvili was signed and loaned back to Valencia, but the lack of change has if anything given Liverpool a solid platform from which to excel in the first few weeks of the new campaign.
Sutton is impressed with how Slot s come in and taken the big challenge in his stride, but did offer a caveat before people get too carried away.

Barcelona are switching their focus away from Erling Haaland to concentrate on a move for Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak, according to reports.
The Citizens have made a perfect start to the season with four wins out of four in the Premier League against Chelsea, Ipswich Town, West Ham and Brentford.
