There isn't a trophy for "winning the transfer window," which is perhaps just as well for those clubs trying to catch Manchester City as the Premier League champions have already set a new standard for getting business done this summer.
While many of their rivals continue to struggle to negotiate ins and outs -- Manchester United have made only one signing so far and raised just £10 million through player departures -- City have been able to sign the hottest property in world football (Erling Haaland) and an established England international midfielder (Kalvin Phillips) and still end up £26m in profit from their transfer dealings to date.
