in #sports6 years ago (edited)

Hello football fans! So, we continue to preview the new season of the Premier League and in this post we will analyze those teams that can surprise you in the new season.

Fulham.

Most interesting in my opinion will be the return of the London club to the big leagues, which they left in 2014. Last season in the Championship, the team did not start very confidently, but the second half of the season, "cottagers" were actually at the champion level, suffered only one defeat in 23 rounds. In the play-off tournament, the team also excelled and won the fight for the Premier League at Derby County and Aston Villa. We hope the team will keep the mood and will not become a "supplier of points" for stronger teams. In the team during his stay in the second division there was his rising star - Ryan Sessegnon, this guy has high hopes and it will be interesting to follow his success in the big leagues as well. Also the team received a qualitative gain in the transfer window. In the summer, André Schürrle from Borussia D, Jean Michaël Seri, who had been interested in such clubs as Barcelona and Manchester United, Alfi Mawson, who has experience in the Premier League for the Swansea City team, came to the team in the summer. But the most important thing the club bought from Newcastle United striker Alexander Mitrovic, who had a great last season in the club and performed well at the World Championship. Quite interesting pick up the team, I think he can compete for a place in the top 10 best.

West Ham United.

A typical middle peasant Premier League, which surprises a good selection of players in the team and not very outstanding success. Two years ago, this team showed outstanding results and made it to the eurocups, and last season almost left the Premier League. In the new season for "hammers" the composition is chosen extremely interesting. In summer, the club set a transfer record by laying out 40 million euros for Philipe Anderson of Lazio. The free agent came Jack Wilshere, who had no place in the Arsenal Unai Emery. From Borussia D for 20 million euros came Andrey Yarmolenko, who also was not appreciated in his last club. Serious money was laid out for Toulouse defender Issa Diop. And from Swansea City to London, Lukas Fabianski moved. After the end of the season, the team was headed by Manuel Pellegrini, who trained the Chinese club for the last two years. The team has everything in order to fight for the highest places in the league, but for starters and getting into the top ten will be a good achievement.

Leicester City.

Last year, the "foxes" only occasionally gave out a good game, the team is able to add and maybe even squeeze someone from the Top-6. In the summer the team lost one of its leaders - Riyad Mahrez, but this transition was brewing for a long time and for sure the club was ready for this turn of events. To replace the Algerian is called talented James Maddison from Norwich City. The defensive line of the team was strengthened by defenders Johnny Evans and Ricardo Pereira. Also in Lester moved Liverpool goalkeeper Danny Ward. The club managed to keep Harry Maguire, for whom it will be the second season in Leicester. He will have to keep the level of the game he showed at the World Cup.

Wolverhampton. And do not forget about the winner of the Championship last season. Nuno Espírito Santo and his Portuguese-English team were great in one of the most difficult football leagues in the world. In the summer, two more Portuguese players arrived in the team: João Moutinho from Monaco and Diogo Jota from Atletico Madrid. Also from Porto came French defender Willy Bolly, and two forwards: Benik Afobe from Bournemouth and Raul Jimenez from Benfica. Quite a modest gain by the standards of the Premier League, but we hope that it will work, and the team will not get lost among the hard-core fighters of the higher league.

Well, since the transfer window in England is closed tomorrow, let's take a look at interesting acquisitions of other clubs in the league. Dusan Tadic and Dailey Blind departed from England to the Netherlands, both moved to Ajax. For 25 million euros in Southampton went defender Borussia M Jannik Vestergaard. Brighton decided to shell out and laid out Lille 17 million euros for Yves Bissouma, as well as 19 million euros AZ Alkmaar for Alireza Jahanbakhsh. Newcastle United joined the ranks of Swiss defender Fabian Schär. Burnley in recent days made a number of good acquisitions. In view of the fact that both team goalkeepers were injured the club acquired them to replace Joe Hart. The line of defense is designed to strengthen the transfer from Middlesbrough Ben Gibson. Also the composition of the team was replenished by the best scorer of the Championship of last season - Matěj Vydra, on the account of the Czech striker 21 goals scored, six of which from the penalty spot. But most of all, Everton surprised, surprised with his chaotic acquisitions for a lot of money. For 45 million euros from Watford in the Liverpool team moved to Richlarlison.

He is certainly a talented player, but if he is worth the money, this is a big question. Luke Digne also moved from Barcelona to Everton, and Kevin Mirallas went on a regular lease, this time to Fiorentina. That's all for now, but English clubs like to make serious deals in the last minutes of the transfer window, so tomorrow it will be interesting.
