Premier League

Premier League clubs splashed a record-shattering £2.88bn on new signings during the summer window – soaring past the previous record of £2.46bn set in 2023.

Clubs also set a record for the amount of money recouped from player sales at £1.63bn. All that buying and selling registered a net spend of £1.25bn.

Clubs splurged £57.2m on Deadline Day alone, sending the overall spend hurtling towards the £3bn threshold for the first time in history – with outstanding deal sheets potentially tipping the total over that figure.

Throughout the window, clubs typically spent steadily, during and after the first mini-transfer window before the Club World Cup.

In terms of net spend, Arsenal splashed a table-topping £257m, followed by Newcastle (£169.3m), Spurs (£154.2m) and Manchester United (£152.5m). Fulham were the only club not to spend any money on new recruits for disclosed fees.

At the other end of the scale, Bournemouth emerged from the window £66m in the black after offloading a raft of star players, including Illia Zabarnyi, Dean Huijsen, Dango Ouattara and Milos Kerkez.

Florian Wirtz was the most expensive signing in the window, with Liverpool shelling out a £116.5m on the Germany international, while Hugo Ekitike (£79m, Eintracht Frankfurt to Liverpool), Benjamin Sesko (£73.7m, RB Leipzig to Man Utd), and Bryan Mbeumo (£71m, Brentford to Man Utd) also made big-money moves.

Along with Nottingham Forest, promoted clubs Burnley, Sunderland and Leeds were among the busiest recruiters – all signing 10 or more players.

Forest also shipped a table-topping 26 players out on permanent deals, followed by Palace (24), Brighton (23) and Chelsea (22).

Championship

Championship clubs also set a record with £201.2m spent and £411m recouped, resulting in a £209.8 net profit.

Ambitious, promoted clubs Wrexham and Birmingham, and Swansea led the way for net spend, while Southampton, Leicester and Ipswich – who all suffered relegation from the Premier League last term – registered the highest net profits.

Four clubs were inactive during the window: Portsmouth, Charlton, Blackburn and Oxford.

Sindre Walle Egeli (£17.5m, Ipswich from FC Nordsjaelland), Finn Azaz (£15m, Southampton from Middlesbrough) and Kasey McAteer (£15m, Ipswich from Leicester) were among the most expensive incomings.

Meanwhile, the sales of Mateus Fernandes (£42m, Southampton to West Ham), Tyler Dibling (£42m, Southampton to Everton), Omari Hutchinson (£37.5, Ipswich to Nottingham Forest) and Liam Delap (£30m, Ipswich to Chelsea) significantly boosted the selling clubs‘ coffers.
