BBC Sport's TV and radio commentators have pinpointed 13 players they believe could make a significant impact in the new Premier League season. These include new signings, promising youngsters, and late bloomers.
Among those highlighted is 18-year-old Dutch midfielder Sean Steur, who joined Newcastle United in a deal potentially worth up to £23m. Commentator Steve Bower noted Steur's 25 appearances for Ajax last season and his versatility in midfield.
Newly promoted Coventry City has made a potentially shrewd signing in Caleb Yirenkyi, a 20-year-old Ghanaian midfielder. The club reportedly paid a record transfer fee of around £25m to sign him from FC Nordsjaelland. Yirenkyi featured in all four of Ghana's World Cup matches and was named Young Player Of The Year in the Danish Superliga last season.
Crystal Palace secured Spanish defender Oscar Mingueza on a free transfer from Celta Vigo. Commentator Conor McNamara described him as impressive at turning defence into attack and a potential replacement for Daniel Munoz.
Aston Villa's 17-year-old striker Brian Madjo, who recently switched international allegiance to England, has already made an impact with pre-season goals and a goal in the Super Cup against Paris St-Germain. Commentators suggest his powerful presence and Villa's Champions League schedule could provide him with opportunities.
Australian centre-back Lucas Herrington, 18, who started for Australia at the World Cup, has joined Hull City. Despite his youth for a central defender in the Premier League, his 6ft 4in frame is expected to aid his adaptation.
