Top 10 expensive transfers of 2019 summer transfer window

#6 Romelu Lukaku – $84.4 million: 

Romelu Lukaku was misfit under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who preferred the young Marcus Rashford through the middle. Since he was seen as a second-choice striker in Old Trafford, the Belgian was looking to leave the club at all costs.

The 26-year-old decided to stay out of Manchester United’s pre-season training to force a move away from the club. Antonio Conte was eager to secure his services and finally got his man on the English transfer deadline day for $84.4 million. It has been an exceptional start for the striker, who has scored two goals in two games for the Nerazzurri, including the winner in the away game against Cagliari in the second game week of the Serie A.

With so much supply around him, Romelu Lukaku will thrive under the management of Antonio Conte, who is using to the player’s efficiency.

#5 Nicolas Pepe – $86.8 million:

Arsenal were hoping to sign a wide attacker in the summer transfer window and got the services of Nicolas Pepe from Lille for $86.8 million. The Ivorian, who impressed the whole of Europe with spellbinding numbers with Lille, has looked threatening in the early days with the Gunners.

The attacker is yet to find the back of the net but has looked bright by taking on defenders for ease. His goalscoring tally was exceptional with the French outfit and he will desire to break his dead as soon as possible. Pepe became the first attacker to dribble past Virgil Van Dijk when the Gunners faced the Reds in the game week 3. With active midfielders like Dani Ceballos and Matteo Guendouzi around him, the former Lille attacker can rack up numbers in this season.
