DF: Nathaniel Clyne
Clyne established himself as a top right-back at Southampton, but now he faces the next stage of his development after a big money move to Liverpool.
Matteo Darmian and Micah Richards are smart moves for Man United and Aston Villa respectively, but there is plenty of expectation surrounding Clyne.
DF: Angelo Ogbonna
It’s arguably still pretty hard to believe that this former Juventus and Italian international defender finds himself at Upton Park next season.
However, Slaven Bilic is shaping West Ham up nicely and Ogbonna will be an important part of their evolution.
DF: Sylvain Distin
Distin may well be 37 years old now, but the Frenchman will bring plenty of experience and leadership to the Bournemouth dressing room.
While the former Everton stalwart might not play as much as he would like, he will have an influential role to play for the Premier League new boys.
DF: Jordan Amavi
Spending £10m on a 21-year-old is no joke, but Villa have seen enough in Amavi to splash the cash and secure a left-back for years to come.
Ligue 1 and the Premier League are two completely different beasts even though both have an abundance of talent and competitiveness, but it will be interesting to see how he copes in his first season.
