    Having kept their powder very dry in the transfer market in recent seasons, Tottenham splashed out last summer, breaking their transfer record to sign midfielder Ndombele from Lyon for £53.8m. The player had helped Lyon finish third in Ligue 1 the previous season and it was hoped he would bring some bite to the Spurs midfield.

    Minor injuries have hampered him at points during a season in which he has made 27 appearances, scoring twice and providing four assists. Mauricio Pochettino's departure as boss hasn't helped him, with replacement Jose Mourinho recently making it clear that he is not a huge fan.

  2. Ryan Sessegnonpublished at 41.

    £25m from Fulham

    Tottenham Hotspur

    Considered one of the best English talents playing outside the Premier League two years ago, Sessegnon was one of the bright sparks in an otherwise poor season for Fulham, who were relegated back to the Championship. The England Under-21 international was a regular, playing anywhere up the left side off the pitch.

    However, his first season at Spurs following his summer switch has been largely decimated by injury, limiting him to just 12 appearances in all competitions, half of which have come in the Premier League.

  3. Ismaila Sarrpublished at 42.

    £25m from Rennes

    Watford

    Another club record fee was broken when Sarr joined Watford in the summer. The Senegal winger joined having impressed at Rennes the previous season, in which he scored 13 times in 50 appearances. He also won the Coupe de France with the club.

    It took him a bit of time to warm up but the speed and trickery upon which he built his reputation have come more to the fore in the second half of this season. In total, he has made 21 appearances, scored six times and assisted four further goals.

  4. Danny Welbeckpublished at 43.

    Free transfer

    Watford

    One of the most high-profile free transfers of last summer, 42-cap England striker Welbeck joined Watford after five years at Arsenal, for whom he was restricted to just 14 appearances last season. The Manchester-born forward did not play after suffering an ankle injury during a Europa League game against Sporting Lisbon in November.

    This campaign has not gone much better for the forward on the fitness front, with him limited to just 11 appearances in total, yielding one goal, scored against Swansea in the Carabao Cup.

  5. Pablo Fornalspublished at 44.

    £24m from Villarreal

    West Ham United

    Much was expected of Fornals at West Ham, with the midfielder having impressed in La Liga with both Malaga and Villarreal as well as earning a couple of Spain caps. The 2018-19 season saw him net five goals and produce six assists for Villarreal, particularly impressing during their run to the quarter-finals of the Europa League.

    He has made 30 appearances in total in what has been a struggling Hammers side, contributing three goals and five assists, with two of the latter coming in the penultimate game before the season was suspended.

  6. Sebastien Hallerpublished at 45.

    £45m from Eintracht Frankfurt

    West Ham United

    You may want to file this one alongside Joelinton. West Ham’s biggest deal of the summer saw Haller join for a club record fee, off the back of a stellar campaign with Eintracht Frankfurt in Germany, which saw him score 20 times in 41 games. With Marko Arnautovic gone, Haller was bought to provide an immediate impact in the opposition box.

    He started strongly, scoring three goals in his first three league games, including two in a win at Watford. In total, though, he has managed seven goals in 29 appearances, also providing two assists.

  7. Patrick Cutronepublished at 46.

    £16m from AC Milan

    Wolves

    Highly-rated in his native Italy, striker Cutrone arrived at Wolves having scored 27 goals in 90 appearances for AC Milan and having recently made his international debut.

    Fast forward a few months and the striker is now a Fiorentina player (on an 18-month loan with a view to a permanent move) having started just nine games for Wolves, scoring three goals in 24 appearances in all competitions. A move to forget for all parties.

  8. Leander Dendonckerpublished at 47.

    On loan from Anderlecht

    Wolves

    Wolves added to their ranks with the loan signing of Dendoncker - one designed to become permanent for a fee in the region of £12m this summer. A Belgium international, who played against England in the group stages of the 2018 World Cup, the midfielder arrived having made 171 appearances for Anderlecht in his native country.

    He has featured heavily throughout this season making 46 appearances across four competitions, scoring four times. Having also operated in defence, he has helped Wolves keep 16 cleansheets.
