Transfer Deadline Day: Every Premier League Club's Best Signing Of The Window

10. Manchester City - Rodri

It's hard to believe that a player of Rodri's quality is not a definite starter, but such is the strength of this Manchester City side that the former Athletico Madrid midfielder could end up as a rotation player. The domestic quadruple winners signed Rodri for £60m, and he has since already claimed his first silverware for the club in the Community Shield.

Rodri has been brought in to provide much-needed cover for Fernandinho this season. Despite the astonishing depth City possess, many saw Fernandinho as one of the few irreplaceable players in the squad. While Gundogan attempted to cover last season, it was clear that if City wanted to challenge for the Champions League title, they’d need a player like Rodri.

City have also recently completed the signing of Joao Cancelo from Juventus, another fantastic deal for the side. Despite this, given how vital the role is that Rodri will play this season, he has to be considered their best signing of the summer.
