Hours away from the closure of the transfer window. We look at the top 10 deals of the summer so far.
Thomas Vermaelen (Arsenal)
Signed for £10million from Ajax, the Belgian centre-back has adjusted to the Barclays Premier League immediately and has formed an understanding with William Gallas.
Emmanuel Adebayor (Manchester City)
He may have cost £25million but has already started to deliver, with three goals in each of City's victories during their 100% start to the season.
Darren Bent (Sunderland)
The deal taking him from Tottenham started at £10million - and that looked good value when he opened the campaign with two goals in his first two games.
Michael Owen (Manchester United)
He is desperate to get back in the England squad and hungry for success after relegation with Newcastle. Getting him on a free transfer represents great business.
Michael Chopra (Cardiff)
Arrived from Sunderland for £4million and already has eight goals in seven games in the Championship for his new club. Could be back in the top flight if he keeps scoring.
Joe Hart (Birmingham)
With Shay Given the number-one choice at Manchester City, Alex McLeish was happy to take the England hopeful on loan for the season.
Glen Johnson (Liverpool)
Rafael Benitez raised eyebrows when he spent £18million on a right-back - but he has offered a valuable attacking outlet and has contributed two goals.
Stephen Hunt (Hull)
The Republic of Ireland midfielder is wasted in the Championship. Phil Brown will benefit from his work-rate and set-pieces.
Andre Bikey (Burnley)
Bikey's debut after arriving from Reading was the famous win over Manchester United, and he followed that up with the victory over Everton.
Tuncay Sanli (Stoke)
May have only played six minutes so far but he has Premier League pedigree and for £5million is great value for Tony Pulis.
