SubscribeYour guide to all the new stars who will be sure to be lighting up the premiership this season following a summer of busy transfer activity.
'The Ones to Watch' for 2006/07:
Tomas Rosicky- Arsenal
Arsenal’s top summer signing, Tomas Rosicky, made a huge impact in an otherwise disappointing World Cup for the Czech Republic. His two stunning goals against the United States in Germany clearly displayed his quality and class. Quick and skilful with a powerful shot and an eye for a pass, Tomas is sure to live up to his top billing this season.
His 31 appearances in the Champions League for Dortmund and Sparta Prague make Rosicky the perfect addition to a squad looking to go one step further than last seasons European final.
Michael Ballack- Chelsea
Germany's captain and talisman is sure to be an asset to Mourinho's star studded squad as Chelsea push for their third Premiership title in succession. All eyes will be watching to see how this talented attacking midfielder will fit into the well oiled Chelsea machine.
In combination with Frank Lampard, Ballack's impressive range of passing and proven goal threat from midfield will be crucial to the continuation of Chelsea's domestic dominance.
Andrei Shevchenko
Chelsea's second major summer signing is a dazzling prospect for the new Premiership season. His impressive goalscoring record in Russia and Italy single Shevchenko out as a striker of the very highest quality.
His lightening pace and imposing physical presence will have defenders throughout the league quaking in their boots. Competition with Didier Drogba for the favoured lone centre forward role at Stamford Bridge should also keep the pundits interested as this season unfold.
Fabio Aurelio
Rafael Benitez has focused on strengthening his Liverpool defence this season as the Reds bid to challenge Chelsea for the title. The Brazilian left-back Fabio Aurelio has a wealth of winning experience, including a Spanish title, following his successful spell at Valencia.
He will bolster a Liverpool squad that already has great strength in depth and will be eager to continue his success in England.
