Only a single goal and an assist at Bayern do not represent his talents, but nonetheless Jurgen Klopp will be keen to help him work on decision-making and final-third actions to get the best out of his new star.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Capable in either a regulation central midfield role or as a slightly more progressive attacking outlet, Reds fans will be desperate to see Gravenberch in action alongside fellow summer signings Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai, both of whom seem to have made an immediate impact.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Although neither are necessarily natural defensive midfielders, Gravenberch will surely play higher up the pitch with at least one of the World Cup winner and his new Hungarian team-mate holding the fort down in central areas so that the Dutch international can show Thomas Tuchel what he was missing out on.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>After penning a five-year contract at Anfield, the 21-year-old will be hoping to get his first minutes in his new No 38 shirt up against Wolves in Saturday&#8217;s early kick-off.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/12\/10\/74994287-12508347-Liverpool_signed_Netherlands_midfielder_Ryan_Gravenberch_for_35m-a-20_1694512401190.jpg\" height=\"450\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Liverpool signed Netherlands midfielder Ryan Gravenberch for \u00a335m from Bayern Munich<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/12\/11\/75328747-12508347-image-a-24_1694513384281.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>The central midfielder struggled for minutes at Bayern but should feature heavily for the Reds<\/p>\n<h2>2. Ansu Fati &#8211; Brighton (on loan from Barcelona)<\/h2>\n<p>Once handed the perhaps damaging epithet of &#8216;the new Messi&#8217;, Fati exploded on the scene as the latest in Barcelona&#8217;s long line of world-beating superstars of the future after graduating from their La Masia academy.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Now, though, after some desperate luck with injuries &#8211; if you can call missing 104 games in just under three years and four knee surgeries luck &#8211; he has been given an opportunity to get regular minutes in one of the most hotly-contest divisions on the planet to rediscover what it was that made the world stop, look and listen.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It isn&#8217;t that Fati has been bad, but when you&#8217;re compared to the greatest player to ever look at a football, it is expected that a player might clock better numbers than 39 goal contributions in 110 games &#8211; an otherwise impressive tally for a player of just 20 years.<\/p>\n<p>At Barcelona, the tricky, balletic attacker that emerged some four years ago has recently suffered something of a crisis of confidence, but make no mistake &#8211; he has the potential and ability to become a true world-beater.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Exceptional on the ball and running at pace at the defence, Fati also possesses a deadly eye for goal, cutting in off the left onto his favoured right foot. His long list of injuries paints him as something of a fragile winger, but he has chunks kicked out of him like Messi did at his age, with defenders at a loss for how to stop him.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Teaming him up with one of Europe&#8217;s most exciting young attacking managers in Roberto De Zerbi could prove to be a masterstroke from the Catalan giants to get the wonderkid back up and running, believing in his powers once more.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/12\/13\/75332877-12508347-image-a-51_1694521134453.jpg\" height=\"471\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Ansu Fati is considered one of European football&#8217;s biggest talents but his career has been hampered by serious injuries<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/12\/10\/74987921-12508347-Brighton_coach_Roberto_De_Zerbi_has_a_job_on_his_hands_with_his_-a-21_1694512410354.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Brighton coach Roberto De Zerbi has a job on his hands with his new Spanish loan signing<\/p>\n<h2>3. Brennan Johnson &#8211; Tottenham (\u00a347.5m)<\/h2>\n<p>Nottingham Forest&#8217;s former Welsh striker arrives at a Tottenham side that is filled with excitement &#8211; both from the fans and the players &#8211; for the first time in a long while, and looks a good match in north London.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Johnson might not be a like-for-like swap for Harry Kane, but there is plenty of optimism around the 22-year-old, who will likely feature through the middle for Ange Postecoglou, but he rose to prominence as one of the brightest attacking talents outside the so-called top six, able to play anywhere across the front three.<\/p>\n<p>The forward is blessed with pace, technically astute and although only 1.79metres, he is still a physically robust outlet for Spurs to work around, with Son Heung-min, Dejan Kulusevski, Richarlison and Co operating in attack.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Part of his success at the City Ground arose from his great understanding with Morgan Gibbs-White, and he finds at Tottenham a No 10 at a level above in James Maddison, with Spurs fans surely keen to see the pair operating in tandem.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The only concern for supporters might be his goal tally last term of eight, although he was often not the main attacking focal point when playing in a two with Taiwo Awoniyi, or out wide in a three. At 22, though, he still possesses all the enviable time and elasticity to adapt to a central role and develop his attacking game even further.<\/p>\n<p>Johnson will be match fit and raring to go on Saturday when Spurs take on Sheffield United having played twice for Wales in the international break and three times for Forest, and will only likely start on the bench for tactical reasons.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/12\/11\/74990587-12508347-Brennan_Johnson_second_from_right_with_his_father_David_second_f-a-23_1694513279604.jpg\" height=\"460\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Brennan Johnson signed a five-year deal at Tottenham after his \u00a347.5m deadline day switch\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/12\/11\/75328723-12508347-image-a-25_1694513422303.jpg\" height=\"426\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Johnson scored eight Premier League goals last season for Nottingham Forest and can play anywhere across the front three<\/p>\n<h2>4. Sofyan Amrabat &#8211; Man United (on loan from Fiorentina)<\/h2>\n<p>Manchester United have long been linked with a move for Sofyan Amrabat since his stellar performances for Morocco in their truly stunning run to the last-four in Qatar, but as the clock ticked closer to the 11PM deadline, Erik ten Hag&#8217;s side finally got their man.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Amrabat is costing them \u00a38m for the season, but there is little doubt that it is a more than reasonable fee for a tireless defensive midfielder who relishes doing the dirty work for his side.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In many ways, the 27-year-old looks to be the perfect midfielder for United right now, with the Red Devils looking susceptible to attacks through the middle with Mason Mount not the most defensively-oriented midfielder.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/12\/11\/75329265-12508347-image-a-27_1694514165354.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Sofyan Amrabat shot to prominence after his stunning displays for Morroco at the World Cup<\/p>\n<p>Amrabat&#8217;s defensive numbers from last term are staggering; 1.4 tackles, 3.42 duels, 5.6 ball recoveries and 63 touches per game, as well as a passing accuracy of over 91 per cent. The stats suggest he is more than just a player that had a good World Cup.<\/p>\n<p>Alongside Casemiro there might be concerns that Ten Hag&#8217;s midfield could look too negative, too workmanlike. But according to Sofascore, only 11 per cent of all his passes went backwards last term, with 25 per cent of those going forwards, meaning there could be a fair few line-breaks and searching through balls coming from the Moroccan this season.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>His arrival comes at just the right time, too. Having won just two and lost two, United seem out of touch, but come up against Brighton on Saturday without their \u00a360m man Mount in the middle. Amrabat looks likely to step in and provide some much needed mettle to the side as they look to bounce back from a 3-1 loss to Arsenal in impressive fashion.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/12\/11\/75329253-12508347-image-a-28_1694514176166.jpg\" height=\"415\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Amrabat (right) arrived at Manchester United on deadline day on loan from Fiorentina<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/12\/11\/75329267-12508347-image-m-29_1694514250224.jpg\" height=\"654\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<h2>5.

There is even something of club legend Yaya Toure in the way that he runs with the ball at his feet &#8211; always a few steps ahead of him so that he can run at close to full pace, but never looking out of control.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He&#8217;s not quite as tall as Toure at 1.83metres, but he is remarkably durable with deceptive strength in possession and is very difficult to stop once he gets going, carving through the centre of the pitch to help his side transition from defence to attack.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In true Guardiola fashion he is more than happy picking up the ball on the edge of his own box, and although he is unlikely to replace Rodri any time soon, the prolonged absence of Stones will see him battle for that second defensive midfield slot with Kovacic to face West Ham on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/12\/13\/75332875-12508347-image-a-50_1694521126977.jpg\" height=\"445\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0The Brazil-born Portuguese international has drawn widespread praise in recent seasons<\/p>\n<h2>6. Divock Origi &#8211; Nottingham Forest (on loan from AC Milan)<\/h2>\n<p>Liverpool&#8217;s cult hero is back in the Premier League, but this time Origi will be wearing the red of Nottingham Forest instead, coming in as a late replacement for Tottenham-bound Johnson.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Taiwo Awoniyi has proven a shrewd purchase from Steve Cooper&#8217;s big-spenders after returning 14 goals in 34 games, but Origi brings to the table something different to the Nigerian.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Belgian striker has experience at the very highest level in the game, winning every single club competition available to him at Liverpool aside from the Europa League, and will be a welcome addition to the Forest ranks.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But although it wasn&#8217;t quite as prolific as it was in Milan, Origi brings a certain intangible quality to the attack that made him such a fan favourite at Anfield. He didn&#8217;t score the most goals, and nor were they screamers, but he had that nous to always turn up in the right place at the right time. It is a cliche, but is it true; he scored big goals when it mattered most.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Forest may be ninth with two wins and two defeats but they are one of the favourites to be drawn into a relegation battle. When your backs are against the wall, you need someone who comes up clutch in the 97th minute, away from home in a game that you have been dominated in.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The football gods didn&#8217;t quite see fit to tee him up with a return to Anfield this weekend, but against a Burnley side that have conceded 11 times already, we could see the Belgian back in the thick of some late drama, although it&#8217;s unlikely Vincent Kompany&#8217;s side will let him out of sight from corners.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/12\/11\/74969387-12508347-Origi_has_struggled_at_Milan_scoring_two_goals_and_registering_o-m-41_1694516277719.jpg\" height=\"425\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Ex-Liverpool striker Divock Origi has joined Nottingham Forest for a Premier League return\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/12\/11\/74969649-12508347-Origi_made_107_appearances_in_the_Premier_League_for_Liverpool_a-a-38_1694516265020.jpg\" height=\"445\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Origi made 107 appearances in the Premier League for Liverpool and netted 22 goals\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>7.

Athletic, composed, excellent on the ball and breathtakingly confident &#8211; it&#8217;s hard to argue against the Italian.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>One of his biggest strengths might be his tackling and break up the play like his predecessor, but there is also an elegance to his play. Much like a young Thiago Alcantara, Baleba often picks up possession with his back to the defender, feigning one way and rolling the other to outfox his opponent in one languid yet fluid motion.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Pascal Gross and Billy Gilmour impressed against Newcastle, and it would be harsh to drop either after a 3-1 win, but Baleba&#8217;s is a talent that any manager would find hard to repress, and the youngster is likely to appear in some capacity at Old Trafford on Saturday.

There is enough quality in his 1.91metre frame for Forest to recoup close to double their money to one of the bigger fish in the division &#8211; or even further afield &#8211; a few years down the line if he decides not to see out the rest of his five-year deal.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Remo Freuler&#8217;s stay at the club did not deliver on the quality he had shown at Atalanta, but in Sangare the Tricky Trees have signed the midfielder capable of bossing the game that they so evidently lacked last term.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/12\/12\/74955703-12508347-Nottingham_Forest_have_confirmed_the_signing_of_Ibrahim_Sangare_-a-49_1694519731692.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Nottingham Forest pulled off a real coup in signing Ibrahim Sangare from PSV for \u00a330m<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/12\/12\/75332195-12508347-image-a-48_1694519727342.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Steve Cooper&#8217;s side look to have signed a star capable of bossing their midfield this season<\/p>\n<h2>10.
