so the transfer window closed on the 31st of January 2018 and we saw major deals fall through, from Sanchez to Giroud to Mkhitaryan and so on. Every player associated with the transfer window happened to be involved in all games over the weekend. We are going to do a close analysis to the stat of some of the major transfers.
Alexis Sanchez
His deal was arguably the biggest in the transfer window as the Gunners surprisingly handed him over to the Red Devils in a mouth watering deal that also witness a swap. Today we run the stats on the new number 7’s game against Huddersfield:
Alexis recorded a total of:
119 touches
57 (74%) passes completed
9 take-ons completed
6 shots
5 tackles won
4 dispossesions
3 shots on target
3 chances created
1 goal
The second transfer that happened to be a swap and had everyone wondering was that of Henrikh Mkhitaryan. Although his first match did not yield good results against Swansea; Henrikh however stepped up to the plate against Everton. He set new records as he became the first player in the Premier League this season to record a hat-trick of assists On his home debut too. An amazing stat as we saw all created chances from this man get converted
Henrikh Mkhitaryan had a total of:
59 touches
31 (78%) passes completed
4 tackles won
3 interceptions
3 chances created
3 assists
1 take-on completed
OK let’s take a look at the Bats man in the Bundesliga, Michy had a good start for Dortmund against Cologne.
Michy Batshuayi had a total of:
41 touches
7 shots
4 shots on target
2 goals
2 take-ons completed
1 assist
1 chance created
Oliver Giroud however on his debut for Chelsea could not help save the already sinking blues but he however had an attempt on target.
The main man on everyone’s lips is Aboumeyang as he managed to get his debut goal in the most controversial way ever as many appealed to the goal as an offside.
Another highlight of the transfer window in form of Deulofeu, the former Barcelona star wrecked havoc to the entire Chelsea defense line.
Deulofeu made his move to the lower table side in form of Watford and has continued to impress. Consistency is key for these major transfers so we would continue to keep an eye out as some could drop form and others might pick up when it matters the most.
