VILLA'S MAGIC
David Villa: The blockbuster deal of the summer so far. 'El Guaje' will add more firepower to an already explosive Barcelona attack. After his successful World Cup exploits with Spain, he should be the odds on favourite to win the Pichichi - the trophy awarded by Spanish sports newspaper Marca to the top goalscorer for each league season.

GUNNERS GEAR UP
Marouane Chamakh: A classic Arsenal value buy that has the potential to be an extremely saavy signing. The ex-Bordeaux striker gives the Gunners a much needed aerial presence up front and could terrorise opposing backlines this season with Robin van Persie. (Goal.com)

HOLDING FORCE
Yaya Toure: Manchester City have flexed their financial muscle this summer and the Ivorian adds more steel to an already industrial strength midfield. Will team up with brother Kolo on the defensive side for the Citizens. (Goal.com)

BLUES TO REDS
Joe Cole: The England winger will have something to prove after his substitute's role in South Africa and his unceremonious departure from Stamford Bridge, where he was deemed surplus to requirements. Chelsea's discarded trash could prove to be Liverpool's treasure. (Goal.com)

REAL DEAL
Angel Di Maria: The young Argentine winger was Real Madrid's first signing this summer under the tutelage of Jose Mourinho, who made it his first priority to inject width into the team by bringing in wide players. He remains Los Blancos' most expensive purchase this summer, and expectations will be high. (Goal.com)
