This summer, the Premier League has seen a jaw-dropping flurry of signings—155 players were bought for a staggering total of £3.11 billion ($4.2 billion). That’s half the annual GDP of the Isle of Man! With this level of spending, the question looms: which of these transfers will leave an indelible mark on their clubs, and which will likely fade into obscurity?

Here at The Athletic, we've bravely sorted these transfers from least to most impactful—not strictly by talent, but by considering cost-effectiveness, positional needs, and expected performances. We’re looking only at senior, first-team players, so you won’t find youth signings or loanees who quickly hit the road on our list.

155. Marcus Bettinelli (Chelsea to Manchester City) - Free

Once a forgotten figure at Chelsea with just one appearance in four years, Bettinelli might struggle to find playing time at City, sitting behind more established goalkeepers.

154. Marc Guiu (Chelsea to Sunderland) - Loan

A transfer that barely got off the ground, Guiu saw just a few minutes at Sunderland before returning to Chelsea—talk about a swift exit!

153. Armando Broja (Chelsea to Burnley) - £20m

Burnley’s hopes for Broja to lead the line seem shaky—we're talking three goals across 58 appearances during his last three seasons.

152. Tom King (Wolverhampton to Everton) - Free

A keeper seemingly more suited to training drills than actual matches, King will provide backup to Everton’s starting goalkeeper.

...and the list continues! We examine the transfers that raised eyebrows and those that might become legends in their new shirts.

As we dive deeper into this comprehensive ranking, it becomes clear the summer of 2023 has not just been about high-profile signings—some players come with enormous pressure, while others slip in unnoticed as intriguing wildcards. Who ends up changing the game in unexpected ways? Stick around as we unveil each ranked transfer in style!
