Manchester United

Manchester United officially brought in three new players on the deadline day of the Premier League transfer market, Monday (5/10/2020) local time. The club's three new recruits nicknamed the Red Devils are Alex Telles, Edinson Cavani and Facundo Pellistri. In addition, Man United also secured the signature of Atalanta's wonderkid, Amad Diallo Traore. However, Traore will only join Manchester United in January 2021. Of the three new players brought in by Man United right on the deadline day, Facundo Pellistri's name is the one who stole the most attention. Before being officially introduced as a new Red Devils player, not many people knew about the 18-year-old boy from Uruguay. Born in Montevideo, December 20, 2001, Pellistri studied football at two local clubs in his hometown, namely River Plate Montevideo and Club Atletico Penarol. Pellistri made their debut with Penarol's first team on 11 August 2019 when they drew 2-2 with Defensor Sporting. The winger then recorded his first goal with Penarol in the match against Cerro on November 6, 2019. From 2019 to 2020, Facundo Pellistri appeared in 37 cross-competition matches with Penarol and successfully recorded two goals plus four assists. Although his name is not talked about much in Europe, Pellistri has a good reputation as a talented young player in the Latin American region. The great talent of Facundo Pellistri made Man United willing to spend 10 million euros (Rp.173 billion) to get it.

Arsenal

Arsenal's Thomas Partey hunting drama ended sweetly. The Ghanaian powered midfielder officially belongs to the Gunners right before the Premier League transfer deadline. Arsenal agreed to make up for Thomas Partey's release clause which was reported to be at 50 million euros, or around Rp.865 billion. At Arsenal, Thomas Partey will wear the jersey number 18. Meanwhile, before officially bringing in Thomas Partey, Arsenal first released Lucas Torreira to Atletico Madrid on loan for one season.

Leeds United

Leeds United announced the arrival of Brazilian winger Raphinha. They are now waiting for news about the winger's work permit. Raphinha signed a four-season contract at Leeds United. Some have reported that the dowry for Leeds to bring in Raphinha from Rennes is 17 million euros plus an additional 6 million euros.

Everton

Everton officially borrowed AS Roma goalkeeper Robin Olsen for one season. The Swedish national team goalkeeper is projected to be a challenger for Jordan Pickford in goal. The Swedish national team goalkeeper, Robin Olsen, officially joined Everton on a season-long loan. Robin Olsen is the sixth player Everton has signed during this transfer window. Robin Olsen was the goalkeeper for the Swedish national team as they reached the 2018 World Cup quarter-finals where he recorded three clean sheets from four matches. The 30-year-old caretaker arrived at AS Roma where Alisson moved to Liverpool. Olsen lost his position as main goalkeeper last season after Roma brought in Pau Lopez. He spent last season on loan at Cagliari. Robin Olsen becomes Everton's second signing on the final day of the transfer window after they officiated at the arrival of a young defender aged 22 years, Robin Godfrey and Norwich City.
