PLACE 10: Chris Richards (on loan from FC Bayern to 1899 Hoffenheim): TSG had to improve on the defensive due to many injuries and opted for Richards, who coach Hoeneß knows very well from his time in Munich. © Imago

9TH PLACE: Jeremie Frimpong (moves from Celtic to Bayer Leverkusen for eleven million euros). With the 20-year-old, the Werkself have grabbed another full-back with potential who, despite his young age, is already a regular at Celtic © DPA pa

8TH PLACE: Danny da Costa (on loan from Eintracht Frankfurt to Mainz). After Ridle Baku’s departure, the FSV had been looking for a replacement for a long time and found what they were looking for in Frankfurt. Da Costa immediately showed that he could be a reinforcement. © DPA pa

PLACE 7: Shkodran Mustafi (changes from Arsenal to Schalke 04 on a free transfer). The 2014 world champion is in his prime at 28, even if he had hardly any match experience recently. Still a good Kabak replacement for Schalke in the second half of the season. © Imago

6TH PLACE: Emmanuel Dennis: (on loan from Club Brugge to 1. FC Köln). The Effzeh urgently needed a striker after the longer-term Andersson failure. Dennis immediately hinted at his potential on his debut. © Imago

PLACE 5: Demarai Gray (moves to Bayer Leverkusen for two million euros). The winger barely played a role at the Foxes recently, has proven his quality in the past and immediately strengthens Bayer across the board. © Imago

PLACE 4: Dominik Szoboszlai (moves from Red Bull Salzburg to RB Leipzig for 20 million euros). One of the most sought-after talents in Europe is set to strengthen Leipzig even further. Currently injured, but certainly has the potential to gain a foothold at RB. © Imago

PLACE 3: Sami Khedira (changes from Juventus to Hertha BSC on a free transfer). Not in demand in Italy for a long time, it fulfills a lot of what Hertha is looking for. Should strengthen the Dardai-Elf as a leading player in the central midfield. © DPA pa

PLACE 2: Sead Kolasinac (on loan from Arsenal to Schalke 04). Returns to Gelsenkirchen and is immediately the bearer of hope. Immediately shows that he is taking responsibility and even wears the armband. Reinforcement for Schalke. © DPA pa

PLACE 1: Luka Jovic (on loan from Real Madrid to Eintracht Frankfurt). Hardly back on the Main, the Serb meets again. Immediately tied up a brace on the debut against Schalke and also scored against Bielefeld as a joker. It couldn’t be better © DPA pa
