Aston Villa enjoyed a very active start to Steven Gerrard’s first summer transfer window and, after three weeks, have brought in four permanent arrivals.
Alongside Newcastle United, the Midlands club have completed the most signings in the Premier League so far, while a number of sides are yet to bolster their squads at all.
With a month to go until Aston Villa return to competitive action, we have taken a look at the line-up made up of the best Premier League signings of the month...
9. Philippe Coutinho - Aston Villa
Aston Villa secured the permanent signing of Coutinho after a successful loan spell that saw him pick up five goals and three assists in the second half of last season. The Brazilian cost only £17m - potentially over £100m less than what Barcelona paid for him four years ago. | Getty Images
10. Darwin Nunez - Liverpool
Darwin Nunez has high expectations to meet after his club-record £85m move to Liverpool. The Uruguayan striker scored 26 goals in 28 league matches for Benfica last season. | AFP via Getty Images
11. Erling Haaland - Man City
Erling Haaland has become one of the best young players in the world following his success at Borussia Dortmund and Man City have an absolute steal on their hands after paying only £51.2m for his services. The Leeds-born striker could be the final piece of the puzzle for Pep Guardiola, who is yet to win the Champions League with City. | Getty Images
