With deadline day done and dusted, Premier League clubs are now left to evaluate the business they've done over the past few months with some far happier with the players they've got than others.
Read on for our important signings of Big 6 in Premier League this summer...
Daniel James: Swansea to Manchester United (£15m/€17m)
The 21-year-old Welshman has voiced his desire to follow in the footsteps of Ryan Giggs and if he can deliver half of what the Red Devils legend did, Daniel James will prove a quality buy for Manchester United.
Still relatively unproven after a strong season in the Championship, the winger will likely take some time to show what he's capable of in the Premier League.
David Luiz: Chelsea to Arsenal (£7m/€8m)
A surprise late transfer, David Luiz has swapped Stamford Bridge for the Emirates and he will give Arsenal's defence a solid, if sometimes unpredictable, outlet.
Arriving for a small fee, the Brazilian should be a tidy pick up for the Gunners, who simply needed to add another centre-back to their squad.
Kieran Tierney: Celtic to Arsenal (£25m/€27m)
After a protracted transfer battle, Arsenal finally landed Kieran Tierney for a relatively small sum, especially considering he's a player capable of having a big impact on the Gunner's fragile backline.
The former Celtic star will be a vital addition to the Arsenal backline and, at 22, still has room to grow.
Giovani Lo Celso: Real Betis to Tottenham (loan)
The former PSG midfielder starred in La Liga last season for Betis and he will give Tottenham's midfield a dynamic extra edge.
With 19 caps for Argentina to his name, Mauricio Pochettino is more than capable of getting the best out of Giovani Lo Celso.
Dani Ceballos: Real Madrid to Arsenal (loan)
Whenever you can pick up a Real Madrid player for free it should be considered a good piece of business and the Gunners loan acquisition of Dani Ceballos is just that.
The 23-year-old Spaniard will add some fresh energy to Arsenal's midfield and should be a handy replacement for Aaron Ramsey.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka: Crystal Palace to Manchester United (£50m/€55m)
Though not coming cheap for a 21-year-old right-back, Aaron Wan-Bissaka fills a gaping hole in Manchester United's backline with his pre-season performances proving he's capable of bringing plenty to Old Trafford in both attack and defence.
Rodri: Atletico Madrid to Manchester City (£64m/€70m)
The Spanish midfielder looms as the perfect man to operate at the base of Manchester City's midfield and though not coming cheap, still has his best years ahead of him at just 23.
Rodri didn't look out of place in his competitive debut for City in the Community Shield and will be a hard man for Fernandinho to dislodge this season.
Joao Cancelo: Juventus to Manchester City (£59/€65m)
Secured as part of a swap deal for Danilo, Joao Cancelo will give Manchester City's right flank a dangerous new dimension and provides depth in a position where it was needed.
The swap deal also saved City quite a bit of cash, making the defender a shrewd pick up.
Harry Maguire: Leicester City to Manchester United (£80m/€86m)
Desperately needing to strengthen their backline, Manchester United had to make Harry Maguire the most expensive defender in history to land him and that price tag will put added pressure on the centre-back's broad shoulders.
But boasting all the attributes the Red Devils have been lacking at the back and already settled in the Premier League, the 26-year-old is a necessary and relatively safe investment.
Tanguy Ndombele: Lyon to Tottenham (£54m/€60m)
After going a whole season without spending, Tottenham splashed some serious cash to land French midfielder Tanguy Ndombele and he looks to be a worthwhile investment.
The former Lyon man appears capable of giving Spurs' midfield an extra dimension and he provided an assist with his first involvement for the club in a pre-season friendly against Juventus.
Nicolas Pepe: Lille to Arsenal (£72m/€80m)
After commanding a club-record fee, Nicolas Pepe will have plenty to prove at the Emirates but appears capable of living up to the hype. After scoring 22 goals and contributing 11 assists in Ligue 1 last season, the 24-year-old looks capable of making Arsenal's front three one of the best in the Premier League.
Should Pepe find his feet alongside Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, the Gunners attack will be near unstoppable this season.
