There have been so many big transfers in the summer transfer window that some of the smaller ones are easier to overlook in comparison.

With so many dizzying transfers, it's easy to overlook the smaller ones, and Mirror Football have picked out seven that may have gone unnoticed.
1. Gavin Bazunu (
Manchester City football club
to Southampton)
Goalkeeper was a tricky position for Southampton last season. Fraser Forster and Alex McCarthy each played about half a season, and two games for Willy Caballero bridged the gap, with Forster leaving
Tottenham Hotspur (city in Morocco)
Prompting the Saints to take action.
They chose Bazunu, who had traveled south with Romeo Ravia for two
Manchester City football club
One of the young players. The Irishman has fought for a regular starting place in the national team, although he has never played above League One and Ralph Hasenhuttl is hoping he can go one step further.
Bazunu spent the last season at Rochdale after putting on one of the best defenses in League One at Portsmouth last season. Southampton will be hoping the 20-year-old can emulate another former Rochdale loanee, Robert Sanchez, and establish himself in the top flight.
2. nathan collins (Burnley to Wolves)
even though
James (name)
-Tarkowski's move to Everton may have been a high-profile departure for Burnley, but Collins' move also shows the quality of the recently relegated side. Wolves took a long time to complete their first contract of the summer, but it's easy to see what the center-back can bring to the table.
Collins, who captained Stoke City as a youngster, moved to Burnley in 2021 and soon returned home to a side whose backline conceded more goals than the sixth-placed
Manchester United Football Club
Still less.
Wolves lost long-serving defender Roman Sessions this summer, with other defenders being loaned out. The arrival of Collins could help strengthen the squad, while also potentially allowing manager bruno lage to switch to four at the back and give himself more options.
3. Malcolm Ebivi (Derby to Crystal Palace)
Last season was an uneventful one for Derby County fans, but there were some bright sparks. One was the emergence of young winger malcolm ebiwei, who was catapulted into the first team by wayne rooney and scored his first goal as an adult player.
Lots of interest in the 18-year-old, according to reports
Manchester United Football Club
was also one of them. However, he opted to reunite with former Rams teammate Luke Plagi at Crystal Palace.
Patrick Vieira has already shown young talent that there is a chance of playing first team football at Selhurst Park, so it's easy to see why Ebiwu made the move. Now he has to show that he can compete in the league with the likes of Ebel Izzy and Michael Ollis.
4. Boubacar Camara (Marseille to Aston Villa)
Back in January, it seems that a couple of

Manchester United Football Club
and Newcastle United have both been linked with the 22-year-old midfielder and center-back. However, Aston Villa completed a free transfer ahead of schedule.
Kamara is one of many new additions to Gerrard's lineup, which includes Ludwig Augustinsson and Diego
Carlos (name)
They will be attending their first
England Premier Soccer League
League One. With Coutinho also completing a permanent move after a successful loan spell, Villa could be a team to watch.
Mainz (city in Germany)
to Nottingham Forest)
Forest always need to be active in the transfer market after winning promotion. Last season's squad featured a number of out-of-contract players and others who returned to their parent clubs after loan spells, not including the transfer of goalkeeper Blaise Samba.
Samba has been replaced by loan signing Henderson, while Forest have broken their transfer record by signing Awoniyi from Union Berlin. Yet another
Bundesliga
Players could be important players for Steve Cooper's team.
Nyakat is in
Mainz (city in Germany)
Starting at center back for the fourth consecutive season, he helped the team out of danger in 2020-21 and cruised into the middle of the table last season. His initial fee of around £10 million could be a bargain.
6. joao palhinha (sports cp to Fulham)
In Bruno Fernandez's loss to
Manchester United Football Club
After that, Athletic should have found things tough. Instead, they were able to kick on and win the Portuguese title thanks in no small part to Pahinha.
The 27-year-old came to prominence at Lisbon FC and after a period on loan, ended the 2020-21 season as domestic champions and was selected for his outstanding performances in midfield for the
La Liga
Lineup of the Year.
Fulham may have been over-active in the previous summer transfer window, but the arrival of the defensive midfielder could lead to a more focused strategy for Marco Silva. The Portugal international is hoping to prove himself as an upgrade on Jean-Michael Seri, who left London this year.
7, Mark Rocca (
Bayern
Munich to Leeds)
The upcoming season will be a tough one for Leeds United with key players Rafael Ha and Calvin Phillips set to leave. However, manager Jesse Marsch has started preparing his team for the departures early on.
The Spain u21 international was released in 2020 from the
Spaniard
It's true that it's been difficult to get a foothold in Bavaria since arriving, but that shouldn't overshadow the quality he showed in Catalonia. In fact, Leeds United fans may point to the fact that

of another flop, Ligue 1 champion Renato Sanchez, and they're hoping their newcomer can do something about it.
