The forward is sitting on the top points tally and looks every part of a season defining pick, combining goal threat with consistency. What really adds to Semenyo's appeal is the growing sense that he might also be in line for first-choice penalty duties, giving him yet another route to points. With form, fixtures and confidence all lining up, he's not just a decent option but one of the best assets in the game at present.

Bayern Munich themselves feel they had a very good summer transfer window, in part because they finalised the Luis Diaz deal from Liverpool. They now have another striker in the squad in the form of Chelsea loanee Nicolas Jackson. On top of that, they have the free transfers of a young national player like Tom Bischof and a boss in the defence in Jonathan Tah. So, you can see how Bayern are pleased with this business.

Newcastle United suffered a turbulent transfer window, but there were some winners among the chaos. It centred around Alexander Isak, who effectively went on strike to force through a move to Liverpool, a saga which rumbled on right until the end of the window. The Magpies were adamant they would not sell without a suitable replacement coming in, and when that came to fruition, they allowed Isak to leave for 125m.

Jackson joined Bayern in a deadline day loan move with an obligation to make the signing permanent for £56.2million if he hits an appearance quota. That deal came after a protracted saga in which Chelsea appeared to cancel Jackson's loan following an injury to Liam Delap, before then allowing him to move to the Allianz Arena. Hoeness, though, insisted there is no hope of Jackson meeting that appearance quota, with the Bayern board member also disputing the reported loan fee.

The German International had an impressive campaign in the last season, and he scored 17 goals in all competitions. He was on the radar of Bayern Munich as well. However, the honorary President of the German club, Uli Hoeness, has now revealed that they would not have paid 90 million for the striker. He believes that Woltemade is not worth that kind of money.

Lothar Matthäus is out of his mind! These experts have been a thorn in my side for a long time

We are delighted to get Nick's signing over the line so quickly. He fits the profile for exactly what we have been looking for to add to our attacking options. He's strong in a lot of areas he has great technical ability and has proven himself to be a real threat in one of Europe's top leagues but he's also still at an age where he has plenty of room to develop and grow here.
