The summer transfer window saw clubs spending nearly £2 billion on new players, with many signings making a positive impact during the early part of the season. While some deals did not live up to expectations, several players have contributed significantly with their goal-scoring records, work rate, and overall influence on their teams’ positions in the league.
For that reason, we want to roundup the best singings for hte 2024/25 EPL season and highlight their impact on their respective teams.
Jadon Sancho (Chelsea)
Since his arrival at Chelsea, Jadon Sancho has quickly integrated into the team’s attacking setup. In 19 league appearances, he has registered 7 goals and 5 assists, reflecting his ability to contribute consistently. His dribbling accuracy of approximately 65% and vision on the ball have often unlocked tight defences.
Performance Breakdown:
- Appearances: 19
- Goals: 2
- Assists: 4
- Dribbles Completed: Around 12 per game
Sancho’s performances have helped The Blues maintain a competitive edge in the league standings. His capacity to create chances and execute key passes has directly contributed to the team’s point tally and overall attacking fluidity. With him in the lineup, Chelsea have been a much better team that contends for a return to the Champions League.
Noussair Mazraoui (Manchester United)
Noussair Mazraoui has proven his worth as a defensive asset since his move to Man Uted fron Bayern. Making 22 appearances, he averages 2.3 tackles per game. His passing accuracy, which exceeds 85%, has allowed him to help transition play from defence to attack effectively.
Performance Breakdown:
- Appearances: 25
- Tackles per Game: 2.3
- Clean Sheets Contributed: 12
- Passing Accuracy: Over 85%
Mazraoui’s consistent performances at the back and his ability to support forward moves have added balance to his team’s structure. His reading of the game and reliability in defence have been important factors for the team. If only the entire Man Utd team played like him, they would have been much better off.
Amadou Onana (Aston Villa)
Aston Villa’s acquisition of Amadou Onana from Everton for £50 million has resulted in a balanced midfield contribution. Over 17 league matches, Onana has scored 2 and quickly made the Villan fans forget about Douglas Luiz. His defensive work is marked by an average of 2 interceptions per game, contributing to his team’s stability during transitions.
Performance Breakdown:
- Appearances: 17
- Goals: 2
- Interceptions per Game: 2
Onana’s dual ability to contribute offensively while fulfilling defensive duties has provided Aston Villa with a solid midfield foundation. Unfortunately, he has been marred by injuries and if it weren’t for a hamsting injury both he and the team would have done much better.
Nikola Milenkovic (Nottingham Forest)
Nikola Milenkovic has been a solid presence at the back for Nottingham Forest. In 24 league appearances, he has averaged 3.1 tackles and 1.5 interceptions per game, in addition to contributing 2 goals and a single assist. His ability to read the game and maintain a passing accuracy above 80% has helped Forest secure several defensive clean sheets.
Performance Breakdown:
- Appearances: 24
- Tackles per Game: 3.1
- Interceptions per Game: 1.5
- Goals: 2
- Assists: 1
- Passing Accuracy: >80%
Milenkovic’s steady defensive contributions and reliable ball distribution make him a key part of Nottingham Forest’s strategy. Nuno Espírito Santo’s team would be much different without Milenkovic in the back.
Liam Delap (Ipswich Town)
Liam Delap’s arrival at Ipswich Town has bolstered their creative options. In 24 matches, he has scored 10 goals and provided 2 assists, with a passing accuracy of about 82%. His ability to link play and create opportunities in the final third has been noticeable.
Performance Breakdown:
- Appearances: 24
- Goals: 10
- Assists: 2
- Passing Accuracy: ~82%
Ipswich Town are currently battling a very hard relegation battle. If they somehow manage to stay up, it will all be because of Delap’s performances.
