There is a player named Boubacar Kamara who is a defensiveMidfielder and he is free of charge.

The best value deal of the summer will be this one. Despite being watched by some of Europe's top clubs, one of the most exciting midfielders in Europe signed with Villa after his contract expired at rome. Primarily used as an out-and-out defensiveMidfielder, with relatively sparse attacking contributions, the versatile Kamara has also deputised as a centre-back and right-back. In addition to his movement around the pitch and impressive 5.5 ball recoveries per game, the former France under-21 international is safe in possession. It will be interesting to see how Steven Gerrard fits him into an area of the team where there is good competition.

The 20-year-old centre-back is going to the English team.

After keeping an eye on him for over a year and a half,Southampton finally landed him for 10m. Armel has made his name at the other end of the pitch since making his league debut at the age of 18 in April, and he has also represented Germany at the U21 level. During his first season in the Bundesliga, he has improved technically, tactically and mentally. The 20-year-old, who could soon be selected for Germany's senior side, was among the top one-vs.-one defenders in the Bundesliga last season.

FC Salzburg toLeeds United is a 27 million dollar deal.

It will be interesting to see how the United States international handles the change from the uncompetitive Austrian league to the English top flight. Will he be able to stand out in a league where his trademark attributes are commonplace? An innate ability to time his off-the-ball movement to perfection, as well as his fine technique and speed of thought, make the middle man more than just a runner. American boss Jesse Marsch knows him well and can help him. Earlier this year, he was named the 34th best male U-21 player.

The Libertad to BRIGHTON is 11m.

It's rare for a player to move directly from domestic football in Asuncion to the English top flight and at a reported 11m, the move doesn't come free of risks. The most promising teenager in the country since Juan Iturbe has six senior caps to his name. Enciso is able to play in any position across the front and is capable of finishing well with both feet. It's an enormous amount of pressure to put on a young player, but that's what has been made of them. His intelligence and off-the-ball running could see him gain minutes this season, even if he doesn't make an immediate impact.

Cheick Doucoure went to Crystal Palace for 21.3 million dollars.

He was one of the top central midfielders in France last season, and he was excellent in both games against Paris Saint-Germain, as the opposition improved. Doucoure can seem to be everywhere on the field. He can play as a No. 8 because of his forward running. He's positive in his passing and always looks to initiate a quick transition when he regains possession. The quality to become instant hit at Selhurst Park is what Doucoure has.

Nick Pope was the goalkeeper for the team.

By signing the England international goalkeeper, along with centre-back Sven Botman and left-back Matthew Targett, they hope to avoid the same fate as last year. Pope's mental alertness and ability to time his interventions outside the penalty area make him an ideal goalkeeper for a high-pressing side. He is quick off the mark and has good coordination and lightning- quick reflexes. Playing out from the back is expected to be a feature of Pope's game and he will make more use of his distribution skills.

The defensiveMidfielder Joao Palhinha is going to the Cottagers for 20 million dollars.

The anchor man is an odd figure in the middle of the field, but he makes up for it with a first-class understanding of the game and his position. In the middle of the park, Palhinha takes on more menial tasks, like making tackles on the ground, challenging well in the air, or simply outmuscling his opponents. He protects the ball well and is hard to get rid of. Marco Silva has a dependable presence in the middle of the field because of the Portugal international.
