WhoScored-based XI names Vuskovic and Van Hecke among season's best new signings

A Football365 report has compiled a Premier League best-transfers XI for the season so far, using average WhoScored ratings and including only players who have featured in at least half of their team's games. The selection is set out in a 3-4-2-1 formation and is described as fluid as the season progresses.

Brighton's Luka Vuskovic is listed as the highest-rated new signing at 7.35, with the report noting eight clearances in a win over Arsenal and clean-sheet wins against Sunderland, Crystal Palace, Manchester City and Brentford. Tottenham's Jan Paul van Hecke follows at 7.32, described as ever-present in the league with two goals, while Leeds' Tarik Muharemovic (7.30) leads the league for clearances.

The XI also includes Hull City goalkeeper Konstantinos Tzolakis (7.10), who kept clean sheets in each of his first three Premier League games after a £20m move from Olympiacos. Liverpool's Ronald Araujo, on loan from Barcelona, is included at right-back on 6.91.

In midfield, Aston Villa's Johan Manzambi (7.21) has five goal contributions in his last six league games, while Manchester City's Elliot Anderson (7.09) has started all but one league game. Tottenham's Andy Robertson is the lowest-rated at 6.63. Chelsea's Morgan Rogers (7.20) was involved in a goal in each of his first four league appearances, and City's Iliman Ndiaye (6.88) has assists in back-to-back matches. Aston Villa's Nicolas Jackson (7.27) completes the side after a match-winning brace against Manchester City.
