Premier League clubs have signed 135 players this summer, already more than in the 2019 or 2020 summer windows and closing on last August's 148
Premier League clubs have shattered their record for summer transfer window spending, according to analysis from sports finance experts Deloitte. Gross spending by the 20 Premier League teams stood at 1.5 billion pounds ($1.7 billion) on Thursday, surpassing the 2017 record of 1.43 billion pounds spent by English clubs in the close-season window. It is also more than the 1.44 billion pounds spent in the whole of last season. With a week to go until the window shuts on September 1, the all-time record for an entire Premier League season, 1.86 billion pounds from 2017-18, could be beaten in the current summer window alone.
"The record levels of spending that we've seen in this summer transfer window so far provides a sign that the business models of Premier League clubs are rebounding post-Covid," Chris Wood, assistant director in Deloitte's Sports Business Group said.
