Losing Idrissa Gueye to PSG will strike them hard. They went on to replace him with Jean-Philippe Gbamin from Mainz and Delph from Manchester City.

Also, they exercised the purchase option for André Gomes and signed world-cup winner Sidibe on loan from Monaco.

Young prospect Ademola Lookman left them for Leipzig and Vlasic was also shipped out to Moscow. They did well to secure back-ups in the full-back positions and the whole left in the defensive midfielder.

With Everton under the attacking style of Marco Silva, they will fly high.

Losing Maguire to United was a big blow. Rodgers will hope that his young team will step up and challenge the fellow top-six lot.

They brought in Tielemans (loan became permanent) and Praet from Sampdoria. Tielemans formed a formidable understanding with Vardy and Maddison, and if the partnership blossoms again, the top six will be in big trouble.

Ayoze Perez will be a decent stand-in striking option for the Foxes.
