Amonth after the January transfer window closed, one could almost forget it happened for most Premier League clubs. Very few players made eye-catching transfers and even fewer have gone on to make a significant impact at their new club.
Gonzalo Higuaín’s move to Chelsea was perhaps the biggest of the month and he enjoyed an impressive start in the Premier League at Stamford Bridge, scoring twice against Huddersfield in his home league debut. However, he hasn’t scored since then and did not start for Chelsea in the League Cup final. New signings have had a bit more success across the continent. Here are six who have made an immediate impression at their new clubs.
Even though Tyler Adams had been a first-team regular with New York Red Bulls for the best part of two years, the young midfielder has exceeded all expectations at RB Leipzig. The 20-year-old USA international has started four games for his new club and they have won all four. He was not in the starting line-up for their league game against Hoffenheim on Monday night, but he came on at half time and helped swing the momentum in Leipzig’s favour to ensure they earned a point. With one assist, 14 tackles, eight interceptions and 10 dribbles, Adams has adapted to his new surroundings in no time. Rating: 7.36
