between AC Milan and Inter Milan are not uncommon, with Antarea Pillow and Clarence Adolf making the switch, but none of the fans were particularly impressed when Haken Chala Noglu swapped the Rosaneri for the Narutzuri last summer, could have contributed. He scored 53 goals in Serie A in Milan's red team, but he was always criticized for being a kind of set-piece merchant. 13 of his 31 assists came from corners or free kicks. However, it is fair to say that the 28-year-old Turkey international has exceeded expectations in Simoni Anzagi's side set a personal record for goal involvement in a single campaign with 19.

Three of his seven goals could have been penalties, but a The fans didn't care, especially when he celebrated scoring one against Milan by covering his ears with his hands. Charlo Nov missing 2.6 key passes per game was the best in Italy and also put him in the top 10 in Europe's major leagues, while his 12 assists were second only to Dominica Barrardi in Sarajev. The only problem he had was seeing his old club outperform his new one. to the skedettel this season 7. jonas vind in the winter volksburg made the bold decision to sell vaudeveghorst they were in a desperate situation teetering towards a shock relegation from the bundesliga after a miserable nine defeats from 17. their course wanted to leave but the six foot six striker They were still their top scorer with six, so losing the Dutchman was a considerable risk, as was signing his replacements Jonas Finns.

The Dane arrived from FC Copenhagen for 12 million euros, almost double his transfer value, that doesn't mean he didn't have pedigree. Scoring six and 16 appearances in the Danish Super League this campaign to add to his tally of 15 goals last season, but throwing the 23-year-old into the pits of a relegation battle could have gone horribly wrong, but respect the exploration of Wolfsburg, as Vin has been a breath of fresh air at the Volkswagen Arena.

Philippe Coutinho It was no secret that Barcelona wanted to get rid of Felipe Coutinho even before his disastrous financial situation came to light, even without taking into account the huge €135 million paid for him in 2018, the Brazilian failed to impress at the Camp Nou. He spent the 2019-20 season on loan before missing most of 2021 with a knee injury, so despite his undoubted quality, any club will be making a move for the 29-year-old. It would be seen as a big gamble, but that didn't stop Steven Gerrard from pulling the strings to bring his former Liverpool teammates to Aston Villa and he started scoring on his debut against Manchester United, finishing the season with five goals and three assists. . of his teammates surpassed his 2.3 shots per game, while he also ranked high on Villa's charts with his 1.3 key passes and 1.1 dribbles per 92, injecting some much-needed touch into what had become a fairly flat attack in Dean Smith's final weeks.

Villa even converted his from a temporary status to a permanent one for just £17m, representing a 50% discount on the initially agreed purchase option worth £34m, a win-win in every sense 5. Nikolas González Every time a club surpasses its transfer record, there is immediate pressure to The incoming player had to perform and that was no different when Fiorentina spent €24.5 million on Stuttgart's Argentine attacker Nicolás González in last July, mainly a forward for the German team. The 24-year-old scored fourteen goals as his father won promotion from the Bundesliga in 2019. 20 and the following season contributed eight goals despite missing more than half the campaign through injury, of course, laviola He already had Dushin Vlavic running things up top, so Gonzales complemented him from the wing, contributing five goals as he found his place in the series.

Blavich left for Juventus in January and Gonzalez was the one who took a step forward in his absence. of the Serbians, still playing on the wing, contributed eight more goals and, although it didn't seem like many, he scored three goals in his last three games, including a penalty on the final day to clinch a two-nil victory over Juventus He helped Fiorentina finish the campaign in seventh place and qualify for European competition for the first time since 2016. Considering they lost their star mid-season, the club couldn't have wanted more from his record-breaking arrival. 4. Adama Triore In recent years at Wolves, Adama Tororo had become known for all his style, but not his substance, as his pace and power never translated into goals or assists, which meant when the opportunity arose Returning to Barcelona in January, the club left the side in 2015 for just 10 million euros, the 26-year-old took advantage of the move, while the Spaniards' opportunities remained somewhat limited with Xavi, they glimpsed the triora with the who had become so familiar in the first division, incredibly he attempted more than 8.3 gerbils per 90 completing 5.7 of them he even made an instant impact with two assists in his first two games with the Blau Grana due to his finances he decided not to continue with the purchase option of 30 million euros included in the transfer agreement, but is still interested in signing his former youth team products. on a permanent transfer having said francisco trincao on loan last summer with the same option to buy included joanne laporta is hopeful that the two clubs can reach some sort of agreement on the players, the transfer may have raised some eyebrows in January but it seems like all parties want this to continue into next season and beyond the three angepostacoglu okay this is not a transfer but few gave angeposta koglu the chance to succeed at celtic when he was announced as Nil Lenin's successor last June.

The Australian had been managing the Yokohama F Marinos in Japan away from the general audience, while his most notable fame was guiding Australia to two World Cups and winning the 2015 Asian Championship. Celtic fans were hoping for Eddie Howe to appear at Park Head, so "However, a year on and there is nothing but love for the man affectionately known as Ange, the 56-year-old has exceeded expectations in Scotland, regaining the title from Rangers and has won the league cup. He has done it against a massive team overhaul with 16 players arriving and 19 leaving during the campaign, the former Brisbane boss won over fans with his direct way of speaking and inspired a broken team left by Neil Lennon's regime, Joe Hart has returned to his best level, Cali McGregor is perfect.

Scott Brown's heir as captain while the rain of pastor cochley or the Japanese market has paid dividends the celtic is back in the champions league proper and has his enigmatic Australian 2 to thank. danburn in January Newcastle desperately needed a new centre-half which the Magpies had Bleeding goals conceded 42 by the new year and the rumor mills were in overdrive as they searched a solution. Lil Sven Botman seemed tempted. Sevilla blocked an approach for Diego Carlos while Burnley's James Tarkovsky was mentioned. However, as the deadline approached, it was Dan Burn who turned up at St James's Park - £13.5m was an excessive payment for the 29-year-old who had spent more time on the wing at Brighton than in the heart of defense, but Burn was a born and bred Geordi who declared that returning to Newcastle was all he wanted.

Burn's dream, he has given everything for his hometown and has been a great addition to Newcastle. Melody has kept seven clean sheets in 15 games in which he has played with the six-foot-six defender completing 3.6 tackles and starts per 90 plus a monstrous 6.4 clearances. It should also come as no surprise to learn that he ranks ninth in the premier league for aerial wins 2. Bruno Gimerich might have stolen the headlines among Newcastle's winter newcomers, but Burn could be the real unsung hero 1. Ibrahimo Konate last summer will be Leipzig soldier in the market to buy Munich for £38m and then Ibra Canada to Liverpool for £36m despite being slightly more expensive, the general consensus was that Bain had got a better deal and Meccano was considered one of the most competent and dominant ball players.

Meanwhile, center halves in Europe, Konate was stuck on the treatment table having made just 14 starts in the Bundesliga over the previous two seasons, but Liverpool's gamble has paid off. The immense partnership of Virgil Van Dyke and Joel Matip has allowed Jurgen Klopp to take his time alone with Kanate. Using him 10 times in all competitions up to the turn of the year, however, with the team chasing four trophies, the Frenchman became an integral part of Liverpool's success. His playing time has almost doubled in 2022, while headed goals against Benfica and Manchester City have demonstrated his authority in the air.

With excellent tackle interception and passing numbers, the 22-year-old has all the makings of a world-class defender, qualities he demonstrated again in the Champions League final and who better to learn from the attack than Van Dyke, the best of the best, so that was our pick of 10
