Just as the Premier League was hitting its stride, the international break has disrupted the rhythm. The Premier League won't resume until October 10, and the first five rounds of matches have left fans wanting more, eager for exciting clashes. The season's trajectory so far has been captivating, with both the title race and relegation battle offering plenty of storylines.

Of course, we are still early in the season, and it's too soon to draw definitive conclusions, so there's no need to take it too seriously! Nevertheless, based on the initial impact these new signings have had for their new clubs in the first few games, we've ranked the top ten Premier League summer signings from 10th to 1st.

Transfermarkt's Top 10 Premier League Summer Signings (ranked by the impact of new arrivals' early performances)

10) James Trafford - Joined Leeds United for €46 million

James Trafford joined Leeds United this summer for €46 million, becoming the fifth most expensive goalkeeper in football history. At the time, this transfer was perplexing, as Trafford wasn't even the starting goalkeeper for his previous team. However, his calm demeanor and excellent saves this season have already had a huge impact on Leeds United's defense. No other Premier League goalkeeper has made more saves than his 20 so far, and Trafford has also conceded the fewest goals in the Premier League. At just 23 years old, this transfer might ultimately prove to be a bargain.

9) Ngoyo - Joined Arsenal for €59.6 million

When Arsenal chose to strengthen their defense again this summer, there were initial questions, but the arrival of Ezri Ngoyo has gradually shown its justification. With Saliba expected to be out for a significant portion of the season, Ngoyo quickly stepped into Arsenal's backline and seamlessly integrated into the team. His physicality and excellent one-on-one defending ability are well-suited to Arsenal's high-pressing, proactive defensive system.

8) Mendy - Joined Hull City for €23.4 million

Hull City's start to the season has exceeded all expectations. They defeated Man United and then secured a point at Stamford Bridge, with their performances being impressive. Nobel Mendy has also proven himself ready for the Premier League, with the defender's performances in Hull City's backline being quite eye-catching. Especially in the first round against Man United, Mendy played excellently and even scored a goal.

7) Jannik Schuster - Joined Brentford for €18 million

Brentford's consistently excellent scouting might have found another gem. Jannik Schuster has only made 3 appearances for the "Bees" so far, but if his performance in the 3-0 victory over Chelsea can be sustained, then signing the Austrian for €18 million might be one of the best value deals of the summer. Schuster has been heroic in defense and also provided an assist in the match against Chelsea.

6) Jaquet - Joined Liverpool for €63.6 million

Liverpool has been searching for a new center-back, and now they may have finally found the right candidate in the young Jeremy Jaquet. Given his age and lack of Premier League experience, it was reasonable to assume that the French defender would need some time to adapt, but he has quickly made an impact. Especially in the recent match against Bournemouth, Jaquet was named man of the match for his outstanding performance, demonstrating impressive adaptability.

5) Anderson - Joined Man City for €135 million

When Elliott Anderson moved from Nottingham Forest to Man City for €135 million, the transfer fee seemed quite astronomical, but he has quickly demonstrated the value he can bring to the "Citizens'" midfield. To date, Anderson has made 537 touches in the Premier League, the most of any player, and also leads in passes with 441. His dynamism in midfield has been crucial, helping Man City win their first five games.

4) Tzolakis - Joined Hull City for €23.3 million

Another Hull City player on the list is goalkeeper Konstantinos Tzolakis. He has been quite busy in matches so far, but his excellent performances have helped the team keep clean sheets against Man United, Coventry, and Aston Villa, and secured a point away against Chelsea. The Greek goalkeeper has shown a bright future, and the €23.3 million transfer fee Hull City paid for him may ultimately prove to be a bargain.

3) L. Vuskovic - Joined Brighton & Hove Albion for €54 million

Tottenham fans might be feeling a bit uneasy now – they might have just let go of a highly talented defender. Luka Vuskovic performed well on loan at Hamburg last season, but due to his lack of outstanding pace, there were concerns about his ability to adapt to the Premier League's tempo. However, since arriving at Brighton & Hove Albion, he has quickly proven himself, and his current performances have been stunning. The €54 million transfer fee now seems quite reasonable.

2) Tarik Muharemović - Joined Leeds United for €37 million

Leeds United has started the season strongly, currently sitting in 5th place and remaining unbeaten, with new signing Tarik Muharemović being a key contributor to the team's excellent performances. The Bosnian defender, who joined from Serie A this summer for €37 million, quickly became a defensive stalwart. He played the full 90 minutes in all five of Leeds United's Premier League matches, helping them build a joint-best defense in the league, conceding only 3 goals. In addition, he contributed an assist and a goal in the League Cup match against Chelsea.

1) Rogers - Joined Chelsea for €138 million

Although the €138 million transfer fee set a new club record for Chelsea and was also the highest transfer fee for an English player, Chelsea brought in Morgan Rogers hoping he could make an immediate impact, and he has certainly delivered. The 24-year-old Rogers has already scored 3 goals and provided 4 assists in his first 6 appearances, quickly demonstrating his potential as one of the Premier League's top talents.
