Seven arrived to bolster the first-team squad, and once again a number have been allowed to leave on loan including the likes of Ross Barkley and Ruben Loftus-Cheek who have joined Aston Villa and Fulham respectively. Below are the statements from new players at the club to understand why they joined.
