The Netherlands international has joined Manchester United from Bologna for a reported €42.5 million and he is expected to provide competition for Rasmus Hojlund at Old Trafford.

Zirkzee scored 11 goals and provided four assists in 34 Serie A appearances last season and he has been handed a £7m FPL price tag upon his arrival in England. As a result, he is currently the most expensive new signing in Fantasy Premier League.

Timo Werner (£6.5m) is the second-most expensive new signing in FPL this year. He spent the second half of last season on loan at Tottenham Hotspur, but Ange Postecoglou’s side have renewed his stay by re-signing him on a new one-year loan deal. The German qualifies for this category as a result.

Igor Thiago (Brentford) and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall (Chelsea) are tied in third place. Thiago has moved to Brentford for €33m, while Dewsbury-Hall has joined Chelsea for €35.4m. They are both £6m in FPL.

David Raya is fifth on this list at £5.5m. The Spaniard spent last season on loan at Arsenal, but that move has now been made permanent by the Gunners, ensuring he is eligible for this list.

Ross Barkley, Samuel Illing-Junior (both Aston Villa), Yankuba Minteh (Brighton & Hove Albion), Daichi Kamada (Crystal Palace), Enes Unal (Bournemouth) and Iliman Ndiaye (Everton) are also £5.5m.

Christopher Nkunku, Kai Havertz and James Maddison were the joint-most expensive new signings in Fantasy Premier League 2023-24.
