Here’s a list of best 3 summer transfers of English Premier League in the year 2014.
The whole world was stunned after this move was completed especially Chelsea supporters. Frank Lampard was left out of Chelsea and was last priority in Jose’s pecking order. Hence he decided to leave Chelsea and joined Man City’s franchise New York City FC as a retirement home but due to odd schedule of MLS and Lampard’s will to stay in top notch condition till his retirement he decided to join some club on a loan deal and shockingly Man City were successful in getting his signature.
But with Manchester City Frank Lampard has proved that age is just a number as he is in outrageous form and looking unstoppable and this is why Man City extended his loan deal until may giving him six more months of Premier League Football. In Man City colors Lampard has racked up 5 goals in 15 Premier League games where he started the game only on 2 occasions. Till now he has earned 7 points for Manchester City by scoring goals in difficult situations for example his winning header versus Sunderland which kept Manchester City on par with Chelsea in the points table, also his historic goal versus Chelsea which earned a point for penalized Man City. Because of all these specialties and the ever green form Frank Lampard, his move to City is one of the best Premier League summer transfer of 2014.
Barcelona decided to sell Alexis in order to make way for the big man Luis Saurez and also to tackle the FFP problems. But this move turned out to be a disaster for Barca and a blessing for Arsenal. Arsenal, Liverpool and Juventus were among the top clubs, who needed Sanchez’s signature and Sanchez chose Premier League over Serie A and agreed terms with the Gunners. This was a high profile signing for Arsenal and also a big money move. Expectations were high when he joined Arsenal and he also stood up to the expectations.
Alexis is carrying the burden of injured Arsenal squad on his shoulders as he is the only player giving top class performance week in week out. Sanchez is helping Arsenal to maintain their status in not just Premier League but he also steered them till Champions League round of 16. Till now he is Arsenal’s top scorer and also among the contenders to win the Premier League golden boot and PFA player of the year award. Not only in Premier League but also for the Champions League he is Arsenal’s stand out performer. Till now he has racked up 10 goals and 6 assists in 19 Premier League games.

This was another transfer blunder made by the Catalan giants in order to make way for a new player and the player added in the squad was Sevilla’s Ivan Rakatic for Cesc Fabregas. After becoming out of favor at Barca, Fabregas made his decision to make a return to Premier League with Arsenal as his first priority, but Wenger decided not to sign the Spaniard. Cesc finally made a decision and made a controversial move to Arsenal’s bitter rivals Chelsea. This turned out to be one of the best decisions of his life as all his expectations are being fulfilled here.
Fabregas is now again one of the best player in Premier League and is also leading the assist chart with 14 assists in 19 Premier League games. Fabregas has already surpassed the assist record of Premier League and is on a verge of setting up a new record. Not only assists Fabregas has also scored two goals and is also noticeable in the defensive third. His performance in the Champions League is also very impressive as the blues are undefeated in that competition. Since this man is breaking records and making new one and is also consistently giving top notch performance he is arguably the best summer signing of Premier League.
