Ranking the 5 best new Premier League transfers of the 2025/26 season so far

When clubs make transfer acquisitions, their biggest dream is to bring in players who make an immediate impact.

Premier League Power Rankings after Matchday 4

Another Premier League matchweek is in the books as Arsenal, Manchester City, and Tottenham put up impressive 3-0 victories, Liverpool and Newcastle ground out tough 1-0 ones, and Chelsea dropped valuable points. Here are the power rankings after Matchday 4. 20. Wolves Wolves cut it close against Newcastle, only losing by a goal, but that's hardly any real consolation. They are easily the worst team in the Premier League right now, and it's going to be a long season for a team that has not come anywhere near replacing the star power left by Matheus Cunha. 19. West Ham Annihilated by rivals Tottenham, really nobody is surprised by the futility the Hammers have displayed, and it feels like only a matter of time before they burn through another notable Premier League manager and then r...
