Transfer window superlatives: Alexander Isak to Liverpool best deadline day deal; Man United make worst move

Overview

After the whirlwind of the 2025 summer transfer window, which saw over $8 billion spent, it’s time to reflect on who made the best choices and who faltered.

Best Signing: Hugo Ekitike, Liverpool

Ekitike has quickly adapted to English football, making a remarkable impact with two goals and an assist in just three matches.

Best Deadline Day Signing: Alexander Isak, Liverpool

The addition of Isak is notable not just for Liverpool’s squad but also for its entertainment value, likely turning them into a powerful attacking force.

Worst Signing: Benjamin Sesko, Manchester United

While high-risk signings can lead to great rewards, Sesko appears to be struggling to fit into United’s framework, leading to criticism of the transfer.

Most Needed Transfer: Jack Grealish, Everton

Grealish’s move to Everton offers him a chance to prove his worth after a challenging time at Manchester City, and he has already started strong with four assists.

Conclusion

This transfer window brought excitement, but also disappointment for some clubs. Now, as they transition into the season, the real test will be how these signings perform.
