Saul will likely be in Thomas Tuchel's midfield plans, meaning he'll be battling three other top-class players for a starting spot.
Jorginho, N'Golo Kante and Kovacic are currently battling for the two central midfield spots in Tuchel's 3-4-3, so Saul will only add to the competition.
The 26-year-old has experience playing in an attacking role on the wing in Spain, so he could also fit in at left-wing or even left-wing-back.
He's undoubtedly an exciting arrival in west London as Tuchel looks to add a Premier League title to his growing silverware collection.
