REVEALED: Chelsea and Liverpool up next in Premier League arrival review

 

In part two of this four-part series, we take a look at the next five teams and how their summer arrivals are performing, starting first with Chelsea... 

 

Chelsea - Christian Pulisic (7.42 rating) 

 

Like Frederic Guilbert before him, Christian Pulisic's deal to take him to Chelsea was completed in January, and given the Blues' transfer ban, he is, by default, their top rated summer arrival. A WhoScored rating of 7.42 is the 14th best in the Premier League this season and recently, Captain America has been in flying form, winning three successive WhoScored man of the match awards. Five goals and two assists to go with his 1.3 key passes and 2.2 successful dribbles per game has helped him earn the second best rating of the Premier League's summer arrivals.

Crystal Palace - Gary Cahill (6.59 rating) 

 

A player released by Chelsea over the summer, Gary Cahill made the short trip across London earlier this year and has been a first team regular under Roy Hodgson. The 33-year-old has a better pass success rate (89.5%) than any other Eagles player and ranks first for clearances per game (5) to help land a WhoScored rating of 6.59. 

 

Everton - Djibril Sidibe (6.84 rating) 

 

Brought in on loan from Monaco to provide competition and cover for Seamus Coleman, Djibril Sidibe hasn't torn up any trees on Merseyside, but he hasn't disappointed either as is reflected in his WhoScored rating (6.84). He isn't one to shirk his defensive responsibilities for the Toffees with a return of 4.6 tackles per 90 the third highest of those to register 200 minutes or more of Premier League action this season, and it's helped the Frenchman quickly adhere himself to Everton fans. 

 

Leicester - Ayoze Perez (6.91 rating) 

 

Leicester's high flying form has been made possible by the performances of the likes of Jamie Vardy, James Maddison, Wilfred Ndidi and Caglar Soyuncu and the solid core of the side has thrust Brendan Rodgers' side into genuine top four contenders. On the back of his big money arrival, Ayoze Perez intially struggled, but he churned out a top quality display in the Foxes' 9-0 win at Southampton last month and remains a tough player to stop from out wide as he averages 1.6 successful dribbles per game, that the third best at the club, to help yield a WhoScored rating of 6.91.

Liverpool - Adrian (6.41 rating) 

 

Like Pulisic and Chelsea, Adrian is Liverpool's best rated summer arrival be default. The Spaniard, though, has featured more than he and the Reds would've expected this term following Alisson's injury in the opening weekend win over Norwich. Adrian breached the gap commendably, returning a WhoScored rating of 6.41 in the process, and has been key for a Liverpool side that has conceded the third fewest goals (10) in the Premier League this season.
