Transfer news: Premier League clubs spending down by £800m heading into final week of window

Southampton have made the most signings with 13, while Liverpool are yet to bring in a single player in this window – but predictably Chelsea have been the biggest spenders.

Chelsea spent £248m and £393m in the summers of 2022 and 2023 respectively and have continued to splash the cash in 2024 with an outlay of £204m so far.

Pedro Neto (£54m), Joao Felix (£45m) and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall (£30m) have been the London club’s three most expensive signings.

The Blues are now looking to offload Raheem Sterling, Romelu Lukaku, Trevoh Chalobah, and Cesare Casadei to help balance the books.

“Expect a ***** ***** in the closing days of the window given Chelsea’s gigantic squad,” MacDonald said.

“It will be interesting to see what kind of fees they can demand for players it’s clear that Enzo Maresca doesn’t see as part of his plans.”

Aston Villa have spent the second-highest amount (£149m), with the bulk of that on Amadou Onana (£50m) from Everton and Ian Maatsen from Chelsea (£35m).

Brighton are third on the list with £144m and that is before the anticipated arrivals of Matt O’Riley from Celtic and Ferdi Kadioglu from Fenerbahce, who are expected to cost a combined £60m.

Manchester ******* have spent £140m on signings including Matthijs de Ligt (£38.6m) and Noussair Mazraoui (£12.9m) from Bayern Munich, along with Leny Yoro (£52m) from Lille and Joshua Zirkzee from Bologna (£36.5m).

Tottenham are the Premier League’s biggest spenders on an individual player after signing Dominic Solanke from Bournemouth for £65m as part of a £126m summer outlay.
