Premier League clubs have smashed the transfer spending record after splashing £3.4bn on new signings.

The previous record of £3.2bn, set last summer, was surpassed following another extraordinary window across the top flight.

Clubs also recouped £2.2bn from player sales, contributing to a combined net spend of £1.2bn.

Premier League spending has now exceeded £2bn in each of the last five summer windows, with expenditure accelerating dramatically since 2022/23.

This summer's record outlay is almost three times the amount clubs spent a decade ago, when the 2016/17 total stood at £1.2bn.

The record has been broken despite Premier League clubs also generating another huge sum through sales, underlining the remarkable volume of money moving through the division.

Manchester City spent a league-high £440.3m during the window, followed by Chelsea ( £342.4m), Spurs (£322m) and Newcastle (£275.2m).

In terms of net spend, Liverpool topped the table with £219.4m, followed by Ipswich (£170.7m), Spurs (£164m) and Arsenal (£136.6m).

At the other end of the scale, Aston Villa finished the window £62.8m in profit after generating £314.6m from player sales.

Enzo Fernandez became the most expensive Premier League signing of the summer after Manchester City agreed a deal worth up to £125m with Chelsea .

Fernandez's £125m fee matches Alexander Isak 's move from Newcastle to Liverpool last summer as the all-time Premier League transfer record.
