How important is getting your transfer business done quickly? Salah, Mane and Mahrez show that early summer signings have paid off at Liverpool and Man City, but it failed to work for Man United when they moved fast for Ibrahimovic and Mkhitaryan

The start of the new Premier League campaign is still over six weeks away, but last season's top two Manchester City and Liverpool already look set to dominate again after quickly wrapping up some big early deals.

The pair finished on 93 and 92 points respectively last season - well clear of third-place Chelsea on 74 - and have gone about reaffirming their superiority with some swift activity in the transfer market.

Liverpool are believed to have finished their business, having smashed their transfer record to sign Darwin Nunez for £85million in between confirming the arrivals of exciting teenagers Fabio Carvalho and Calvin Ramsay.
