Rating every Premier League club’s record signing: Di Maria Man Utd, Ozil Arsenal, Torres Chelsea – hit or miss?

Aston Villa – Darren Bent (£24m)

Appearing twice on this list, Darren Bent is also Aston Villa’s record signing at £24m, but it’s fair to say he was not nearly as good in a difficult spell at Villa Park. MISS.

Everton – Romelu Lukaku (£28m)

Not quite at his best for Everton yet, but Romelu Lukaku is one of the best young strikers in the world and is sure to prove a HIT for the club if he fulfills his potential.

Tottenham – Erik Lamela (£30m)

One of Tottenham’s worst signings is sadly also their most expensive, with Erik Lamela looking nowhere near worth £30m after joining from Roma a couple of years ago. MISS.

Liverpool – Andy Carroll (£35m)

Close to the world transfer record from 2000, Liverpool blew £35m on Andy Carroll in a terrible move, with the injury-prone forward doing little of note at Anfield before leaving for £20m less than they paid for him.
