Premier League newcomers - the others
As usual, a host of hitherto unknown players have arrived in England for a crack at what is undoubtedly the highest-profile league in the world.
Wigan tied up the signing on a year's loan deal of Egyptian striker Amr Zaki, 25, from Zamalek. "I've come to England to score goals. That's what I do," he announced.
Fulham have signed a plethora of players this summer, including Euro 2008's Fredrik Stoor, a reliable right-back from Sweden and David Stockdale, a highly-rated 22-year-old goalkeeper from Darlington, who kept 20 clean sheets last season.
Stoke have swooped for Wolves' Nigerian international midfielder Seyi Olofinjana for �3m as they plot Premier League survival. "It is a terrific signing for Stoke," said Wolves boss Mick McCarthy.
Hull have been busy too, breaking their transfer record to sign Hungarian winger Peter Halmosi for �2m from Plymouth.
Sunderland have bolstered their squad too, with plenty of players with Premier League experience and David Mayler, a 19-year-old midfielder from Cork City. "I'm here to succeed, I'm not here to fail," he proclaimed upon his arrival.
