Spurs snap up Senesi, Leeds land Wilson: The Premier League’s best bargain transfers this summer

Premier League clubs have again spent massive money this summer, with transfer records tumbling across the division.

The big-money moves have dominated the headlines, but there's also been some savvy signings made by Premier league teams. We've picked out five of the best-value deals of the summer window so far, all recruited for less than £3m.

Dastan Satpayev - Kairat Almaty to Chelsea, £2.1m

There are no guarantees when it comes to signing teenage talents, let alone those making the leap from Kazakhstan to the Premier League. However, there's a high chance thatChelsea's £2.1m investment in Dastan Satpaev will prove money well spent.

The 17-year-old scored 26 goals in 58 games for Kairat Almaty, featuring in the Champions League and earning the Kazakhstan Premier League Player of the Year in 2025.

He's already a hero in his homeland and has netted his first senior goal at international level, alongside an eye-catching strike against Western Sydney Wanderers duringChelsea's pre-season tour. Chelsea have loaned the teenager to Burnley for the coming campaign to gain experience.

Oscar Mingueza - Celta Vigo to Crystal Palace, free

Crystal Palace have had to get creative in the transfer market this summer, with their first three confirmed signings arriving for free. Oscar Mingueza looks the most exciting of those cost-effective additions, after arriving from Celta Vigo as a free agent.

A Spain international with four caps, Mingueza can operate right across the backline and has recorded 15 goals and assists over the last two La Liga campaigns.

Harry Wilson - Fulham to Leeds, free

Leeds United beat off competition from Premier League rivals to land Fulham free agent Harry Wilson.

The Wales winger had his pick of clubs after a career-best 2025/26 campaign, in which he scored 10 goals and added seven assists in the Premier League.

He joins a large collection of Welshman in Daniel Farke's ranks, and his set-piece threat will boost a Leeds side who have shone from set-pieces.

Ronald Araujo - Barcelona to Liverpool, loan

Liverpool's need for defensive depth landed at Ronald Araujo, with the Barcelona captain swapping Spain for the Premier League on a season-long loan deal.

The Uruguayan has endured a difficult period at Barcelona, but at his best is an excellent one-vs-one defender and aerial threat. A full international and serial trophy winner, he fills Liverpool's needs in a deal that represents minimal risk.

Marcos Senesi - Bournemouth to Tottenham Hotspur, free

With Cristian Romero angling for an exit from North London, Spurs secured the services ofMarcos Senesi from Bournemouth on a free transfer.

The Argentine's expansive passing range makes him ideally suited to Roberto De Zerbi's plan, while he adds depth to the club's centre-back stocks alongside Micky van de Ven, Kevin Danso, and fellow recruit Jan Paul van Hecke.
