Bournemouth have spent only €35.5 million, which is understandable given the teams new-ish arrival in Premier League and the amount of money the team has. The disclosed transfers are as follow: N. Aké from Chelsea for €22.8 million and A. Begović also from Chelsea for €11.5 million.

The team has not managed to win a match in the first 2 rounds in Premier League, sitting on the 16th spot with 0 points, a goal difference of -3 and a match coming up against Manchester City, where Bournemouth are outsiders with odds to win the game @ 13.00 or get a point @ 4.00.

Huddersfield Town are starting their Premier League debut as promising as they could, winning both games and being 2nd in the table after Manchester United.The team has spent so far around €40.1 million. The list is as follows: M. Jørgensen from København for €2.3 million, S. Mounié from Montpellier for €13 million, T. Ince from Derby County, for €9 million, A. Mooy from Manchester City for €9.1 million, L. Depoitre from Porto for €5 million.

The promising start of the team cannot really tell anything for now, but the 6 points gathered in the first 2 rounds of the league are very precious. With a theoretical assumption that you need around 40 points to NOT get relegated, and 36 rounds left, Huddersfield would only need 34 more. From the way the team plays however, it looks like their ambitions are a lot higher than just surviving in Premier League.

Overall the English Premier League looks very interesting this season and the transfer sums as usual have gone up again. There was a time where a few millions for a brand new team to the top division was a lot and to be spent on transfers was a luxury. Now, even the newcomers have spent over €30-40 millions and that's just the disclosed amount we can see. The real numbers are perhaps a lot higher.

This concludes our review/preview of the upcoming season. Next on our list would be the Champions League 2017/18 Review, now that the groups have been drawn and we know exactly which teams will be playing with which.
