European clubs were very busy in the transfer market last summer. They are competing to strengthen the strength of their squad.
In the midst of the hit by the corona virus pandemic, clubs are still spending a lot of money in the transfer market. This is for the sake of bringing in their target players.
A number of big names have also graced the transfer of players in the summer transfer market. They make it necessary to look for new challenges at other clubs.
After moving clubs, there were several new players who immediately started playing with their new team. However, not a few have experienced problems with their appearance.
Who are the new players who have not been able to show their best performance this season? Here is the list.
Expensive Sings That Have Shown Down
5. Nathan Ake
Manchester City brought in Nathan Ake to enrich the depth in their back line. Ake was redeemed from Bournemouth for 45.3 million euros.

However, Ake has not made a big contribution to The Citizens. The Dutch defender is more in the recovery room than on the field.
Ake has only appeared 13 times in all competitions with a score of one goal. Apart from that, he also had to compete with John Stones, Ruben Dias and Aymeric Laporte.
4. Timo Werner
Timo Werner appeared very sharp with RB Leipzig. That's what made Chelsea decide to sign him to Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea redeem Werner for 53 million euros. The German bomber is expected to score goals regularly for the Blues.
However, Werner's sharpness suddenly disappeared after coming to England. He has just collected six goals in 33 matches in the Premier League.
3. Miralem Pjanic
Barcelona brought in Miralem Pjanic from Serie A giants Juventus. The Bosnian midfielder was exchanged with Athur Melo.
Under the agreement, El Barca redeemed Pjanic for 60 million euros. Even though he has been redeemed for a high price, Pjanic rarely gets the opportunity to appear at the Camp Nou.
The 30-year-old player has only played by coach Ronald Koeman 29 times this season. Of that amount, he has not contributed in the form of goals or assists.
2. Arthur Melo
Juventus swapped Mralem Pjanic for Arthur Melo. The Brazilian midfielder came to Turin for a transfer fee of 72 million euros.
Arthur's arrival is expected to be able to boost Juventus' performance under Pirlo's tutelage. But unfortunately, Arthur is more often reserved.

The 24-year-old player has played 31 matches in all competitions with the Bianconeri. He only contributed one goal from his performance.
1. Kai Havertz
Kai Havertz signed by Chelsea from Bayer Leverkusen with a tag of 80 million euros. This value makes Havertz the most expensive player in the summer transfer market.
Havertz previously performed quite impressively with Leverkusen. However, his performance with the Blues still did not live up to expectations.
Havertz has eight goals and nine assists in 43 appearances in all competitions. Even so, his appearance has started to improve in the hands of Thomas Tuchel.
