    Premier League clubs have spent two months trying to sign the players who will make their seasons.

    Here, Press Association Sport takes a look at five of the best deals so far ahead of the final day of the summer transfer window.

    Jordan Pickford – Sunderland to Everton

    Pickford impressed for Sunderland despite their relegation last season and at 23 years old he could be an England goalkeeper for many years to come.

    Costing an initial £25million, Pickford did not come cheap but he has both the talent and time to make that look like a bargain.

    Harry Maguire – Hull to Leicester

    To sign a young defender who has proven himself in the Premier League for £17m is impressive enough but one that is English too is nothing short of remarkable.

    Leicester caught their rivals cold by moving so early in the transfer window. In Maguire they have a gem.

    Steve Mounie – Montpellier to Huddersfield

    Perhaps the key ingredient to Premier League survival is a player that knows where the net is and Huddersfield may have found one in Mounie.

    He scored 14 goals in 32 starts for Montpellier last season and at £11.5m he already looks a shrewd piece of business.

    Romelu Lukaku – Everton to Manchester United

    Lukaku’s ability is no secret and there was nothing subtle about the £75m United splashed to get him either.

    But the manner they plucked him from under the noses of Chelsea may yet be a turning point in the title race.

    Lukaku’s goals could prove decisive.

    Ruben Loftus-Cheek – Chelsea to Crystal Palace

    Chelsea have opted to let a handful of talented youngsters leave, most of them on loan – including Loftus-Cheek.

    The powerful 21-year-old will be desperate to prove he has what it takes to succeed in the Premier League and Palace stand to be the chief beneficiaries.
