In fact, some of these players could play a huge role this season in helping their clubs win something big. Let's not waste any more time then, scroll down below to find our pick of the Top 5 Premier League transfers in 2025.
Top Premier League transfers 2025
Hugo Ekiteke (Liverpool)
Once Liverpool signed Hugo Ekiteke from Frankfurt for £79 million, the belief was that Arne Slot finally found his star striker for the season. What happened next was nothing less than a shocker, as Liverpool broke the British transfer record to sign Alexander Isak from Newcastle for £125 million. With his undeniable talent and Premier League experience, Isak was widely expected to make the strike position his own and make things difficult for Ekiteke. However, the complete opposite has happened, as Isak has been a flop so far, while Ekiteke is arguably the best signing from Liverpool's record-breaking transfer window.
Nick Woltemade (Newcastle)
Questions were asked when Newcastle paid a massive £69 million fee out of nowhere to buy Nick Woltemade from Stuttgart once Isak was sold to Liverpool. There are no questions now though, as Woltemade has been sensational since joining the Magpies. He's been playing as if he was in the Premier League for many years, and has been terrorizing the opposition defenders for fun. The biggest compliment one can give to Nick Woltemade is that he has made Newcastle fans completely forget Alexander Isak, who was undoubtedly their most loved and adored player before he left.
Viktor Gyökeres (Arsenal)
Arsenal desperately needed an elite striker for the past 2 years, and it was seen as the only missing puzzle for them to finally win the Premier League. This resulted in the Gunners getting Viktor Gyökeres from Sporting for €63.5 million. Fast forward to the present, Arsenal are now top of the league with a huge 6 point lead. Gyökeres has undoubtedly played a huge role in this feat, despite having a slow start at the club. As things stand, he could very well lead Arsenal to a historic league triumph.
João Pedro (Chelsea)
Chelsea fans were desperately pleading with the club to sign an elite striker in the transfer window, as the majority were fed up with the inconsistent performances of Nicolas Jackson. The general consensus was that they needed a world-class poacher type striker in the mould of a Victor Osimhen. Thus, when the club signed João Pedro from Brighton, Chelsea fans were excited and also confused as well since he was a striker with a completely different profile. Since the move, there are no more striker talks at Stamford Bridge, as Pedro has simply been outstanding. He played a huge role in their Club World Cup triumph and is now doing great in the Premier League as well.
Martin Zubimendi (Arsenal)
If Arsenal manage to win the Premier League, the biggest spotlight might be on Viktor Gyökeres for the amount of goals he might've scored by that time. However, it's Martin Zubimendi who has been Arsenal's most transformative signing this season, and also the biggest reason they might end up winning the Premier League. He has completely changed the way Arsenal play, and has taken their game to a whole new level. Zubimendi is not only excelling as the Gunners defensive midfielder, but his presence has also allowed Declan Rice to operate further forward and showcase his hidden world-class attacking talent. Liverpool would surely be regretting missing out on him.
