3. Joselu - Alaves - Transfer

4. Ayoze Perez - Leicester City - Transfer
The Foxes have started the 2019/20 campaign brightly, and will be pushing for a European qualification spot at the tail end of the season. Perez, however, has been less than impressive, failing to register a goal or assist in seven outings. (Photo by Alex Pantling/Getty Images) Photo: Alex Pantling
