Top football agents 'name the WORST Premier League transfer deals of the summer' - with three big-money buys at the top... and who rivals 'scattergun' Chelsea for the worst window overall?

The dust has settled on the transfer window which saw Premier League clubs smash the gross spending record by forking out £2.4billion over the summer on new faces.

Chelsea were the biggest spenders during the window with £428.8m going out of the club on Moises Caicedo, Romeo Lavia, Christopher Nkunku, Cole Palmer, Axel Disasi and Nicolas Jackson.

The Blues also recouped £220.1m with Kai Havertz departure to Arsenal for £65m and Mason Mount’s £60m transfer to Manchester United among the significant outgoings.

Arsenal’s £105m signing of Declan Rice and Man United’s £72m deal to secure striker Rasmus Hojlund from Atalanta were among the other headline grabbing deals.
