Gakpo, who will benefit from a Liverpool side that is also in a slump

The Premier League is unleashing its full potential - which in terms of numbers and perspective almost equals all other major European leagues combined - and already has - or will have - four of the players who had the highest status in this winter transfer window, namely João Félix, Mykhaylo Mudryk, Cody Gakpo and Matheus Cunha. That is why there is talk in England about which of them will have the most impact at Chelsea, possibly Arsenal, Liverpool and Wolverhampton.

The only one of these names that has not yet been officially confirmed is that of the Ukrainian winger, for whom Chelsea and Arsenal are fighting, but there is every indication that the Gunners will manage to overtake their London neighbours (who are the team that has spent the most this season) in this fight and convince Shakhtar Donetsk to sell for their star player; after all, that is what two (the player and the English team) of the three parties want.

Andrey Santos, Benoît Badiashile or Álex Moreno are some of the other signings made by English clubs during this January transfer window, but we want to focus on how the four aforementioned stars will fit into their teams.

The menino de ouro arrives in London with the intention of earning a place among the best in the top league in just 6 months, which will not be easy; he will need a record adaptation. However, Chelsea, although they are not doing well, have everything to be a springboard for the Portuguese: huge squad, attacking play, chances of reaching the quarter-finals of the Champions League... Moreover, the blues' fast-paced but also partnership game will suit him better than Simeone's tactical approach. If João is a genius, we will know soon.

<strong>Gakpo, on the lookout for Haaland </strong>

With Mudryk, the expectations are equally high. The player has everything to succeed in England: skilful, very fast, electric in one-on-one situations and with a goal. With Arsenal dominating their opponents, Mudryk has the potential to explode. We wouldn't be surprised. And the same goes for Gakpo, who will benefit from a Liverpool side that is also in a slump, but who physically tends to drive every clash towards goal, which will give him plenty of chances and opportunities to shine.
