Players who have had great starts in their first season in the English Premier League

So far, Erling Haaland is making a very impressive start in his first Premier League Championship season, and the Norwegian is expected to break some single figures and sweep the run of scorers .

This prompts us to consider the history of the Premier League to see some other names who have made exceptional offers in their first season in England.

Fernando Torres
El Nino's debut season in Liverpool was so good that his famous song still sings among groups of Liverpool fans to this day, even after his £50m move for Chelsea.

The Spaniard scored 24 goals in 28 appearances in his first year on Merseyside and was immediately one of Anfield's favourite names.

He scored in 8 consecutive home league games, and was the first Liverpool player to score more than 20 Premier League goals in more than a decade.

Alison Becker
Liverpool continued to suffer the loss of a suitable goalkeeper who could protect the Reds' den, and it was made abundantly clear after Luis Karius failed in the 2017 Champions League final.

This prompted Liverpool to sign Brazil's Alison Becker in the summer of 2018 by the Roma side for around 62 million euros.

Indeed, the Brazilian was able to confirm that he possessed quality, as his first season saw Liverpool reach second in the league and lose the title by one point to Manchester City, and the Reds also achieved a Champions League championship.

Allison then made 38 league appearances, conceding 22 goals, while coming off 21 clean sheets.

Eden Hazard
The Belgian was a strong rising name in France in 2012 after his wide brilliance with Lille, which drew Chelsea's eyes to him, signing him at the time for 35 million euros.

Hazard impressed in his first season in the Premier League, scoring 14 goals and providing 9 assists for his teammates, through 35 entries.

Of course, Eden was able to continue to make his impressive offers, which prompted Real Madrid to sign him in 2019 with 115 million euros, but so far he has not provided anything for him with the royal in Spain.

Micho
The Spaniard's influence when he moved to Swansea City from Rayo Vieques in 2012 was quite significant.

Micho's 18 goals and 3 assists in his first season in Swansea were enough to secure his famous Premier League status.

Alexis Sanchez
Sanchez was knocked out of Barcelona in 2014 after the Blaugrana settled on Neymar Rebekah Messi and Suarez's presence in attacking positions, with the Chilean winger going to Arsenal with a transfer value of up to €42 million.

In his first season, Sanchez stood out with coach Arsene Wenger's battalion, scoring 16 goals and providing 8 assists for his teammates.

Alexis managed a remarkable Premier League continuity that made him among the names Pep Guardiola later tried to sign, before Sanchez decided to move to United, failing to repeat his experience with Arsenal.

Gianfranco Zola
Zola joined Chelsea for £4.5m in 1996 and was an instant success, with the Italian winning England's Footballer of the Year in his first season and playing a key role as the Blues ended a 27-year FA Cup run of silverware.

Penny McCarthy
McCarthy was no stranger to English football when he signed with Blackburn Rovers in 2006.

Playing in Jose Mourinho's Portuguese side Porto in 2004, South Africa's Champions League goals against Manchester United were the catalyst that made the Portuguese top of the continental championship the most expensive.

McCarthy scored 18 goals in the Premier League in his first year, and was second in the Golden Boot Award ranking that was decided for Didier Drogba at the time.

Rocky Santa Cruz
It seems that the Blackburn scouts had a great talent in selecting new forwards for the English club, such as McCarthy. Rocky Santa Cruz came to the team in 2007 after finding it difficult to play basically for Bayern Munich.

The Paraguayan continued to make an unexpected impact in a Rovers shirt, scoring 19 goals in his first season and leading the club to seventh place.

Sergio Aguero
In his first season, Aguero scored 30 goals, 23 of them in the Premier League

This year was the year Manchester City clinched the title from arch-rivals Manchester United, who concluded it with a 95th-minute victory over QPR, when the Argentine scored the deadly goal that sealed the title for the celestial team.

Erling Haaland
We cannot say that Haaland is now on the list of names who presented a great season in her first year in the Premier League, but the breakthrough offered by the Norwegian makes him a strong candidate to conclude the season in a way that enables him to be in the history of the English Championship.

So far, with the start of the current season, Haaland has participated in 5 league games through which he has scored 9 goals and provided a single assist.

The Norwegian goal machine is expected to sweep the league's top scorer standings by the end of the season, especially with a team as large as Manchester City allowing it all possible to score.

Bruno Fernandes
The Portuguese star had moved from the Sporting Lisbon ranks to Manchester United in the summer of the 19-20 season with a significant transfer value of 63 million euros.

He took part in the second half of the season with the Red Devils at Old Trafford and made a great start for him in the Premier League.

He made 14 appearances in which he scored 8 goals and delivered two crucial assists to his teammates, and at the level of technical performance the Portuguese received many praises even from his opponents.

Santi Cazorla
The Spanish playmaker joined Arsenal in 2012 with a deal worth 19 million euros.

As expected, Cazorla had a very impressive season in his first England presence, with the Spaniard breaking the dread barrier created by the Premier League, creating a glamorous appearance, enjoying his elaborate passes and exceptional goals, and scoring 12 goals and creating like them.

Diego Costa
Of course, we can't talk about the names that made outstanding offers in their first Premier League season and forget Diego Costa, the Spanish striker who arrived in English stadiums.

Diego departed from Spain in 2015 from Atletico Madrid to Chelsea on a transfer that cost the Blues' coffers €38 million.

Costa's first season with Chelsea was very impressive, taking part in 26 games and scoring 20 goals in 3 assists, helping the Blues to a league championship and a League Cup for professional clubs.

Diego's career with Chelsea was spectacular but incomplete due to subsequent disagreements with Italian coach Antonio Conte, as he ended up returning to Atletico Madrid in 2018.

Ruud van Nistelrooy

The Dutch star can never forget his first season with Manchester United, bursting into English action and making great performances.

Ruud van Nistelrooy's first Premier League appearance in the 2001-2002 season saw 36 score in all competitions for the club and finish second to Thierry Henry in the race for the Golden Boot.

Jurgen Klinsmann

The 1990 World Cup winner moved to Tottenham from Monaco in the summer of 1994, and only lasted one season at the club before Bayern Munich earned their services, but this was enough to receive the Player of the Year award, thanks to their 20 Premier League goals.

Klinsmann returned for a second spell with Spurs in 1997, scoring nine goals in 15 games, helping save the club from relegation.

Robin Diash

Manchester City have suffered a lot in Pep Guardiola's tenure from missing a strong defender and from the front row such as Virgil van Dyke in Liverpool for example.

This prompted the celestial team to sign Diash in the 2020-2021 season from the ranks of the Benfica club after the season began with minor tours, worth 71 million euros.

The Portuguese centre-back made very impressive performances in his first season, placing himself in the elite of the world's top defenders.

So far, Diash is in Manchester City and is one of Guardiola's indispensable pillars.
