Fabulous transfer window by the Hammers. Pellegrini worked wonders to secure Haller and Fornals’ signature so early in the transfer window.

In Haller, Hammers are getting a complete striker compared to Arnautovic, who they shipped out to the Chinese League. Thankfully, for the club.

Last season, their center-back partnership of Diop and Balbuena flourished, and Rice emerged as a prolific defensive midfielder.

Their front four of Anderson, Lanzini and Fornals just behind Haller would be fearsome and under the Charming Pellegrini’s tutelage, he will be a nuisance to Premier League rivals.

Next. Spurs complete a pair of Deadline Day signings. dark

Watford

Watford repurchasing another center half is no surprise, and Dawson would offer the necessary Leadership and experience at the backline. But the Hornets did break their bank to secure the signature of Ismaila Sarr for £29 million.

The right-winger would be a decent addition for the Premier League side.
