The Premier League looks set to get very close to an all-time record for the biggest-spending summer transfer window.
With three weeks left until transfer deadline day, Premier League bosses have already spent £1.22billion, and with more deals to come, it is closing in on the record of £1.43bn that was splashed out on new players in 2017.
A global recession might be looming, but there is no evidence the top division’s top clubs reining in their spending. Marc Cucurella last week became the fourth £60m-plus signing of the summer when he joined Chelsea from Brighton.
