\"Premier<\/p>\n

Premier League teams splashed out \u00a31.1 billion ($1.5bn) on new signings throughout the summer transfer window \u2013 a reduction in spending for the second year in a row.<\/p>\n

According to an analysis from Deloitte, this year saw clubs in the English top-flight register their lowest summer spend since 2015.<\/p>\n

It marks an 11 per cent drop from last year\u2019s gross expenditure on transfers, which was 9% lower than the previous year, meaning spending has declined for consecutive years for the first time since 2008 to 2010.<\/p>\n

The Premier League clubs spent a total of \u00a3150m on the final day of the window.<\/p>\n

Nikola Vlasic\u2019s move to West Ham for \u00a326 million ($35m) was the biggest of the day, but Cristiano Ronaldo completing a return to Manchester United for \u00a320m ($28m) and Tottenham snapping up Emerson Royal from Barcelona added to the total.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Daniel James joined Leeds from United for around \u00a325m, Arsenal brought in Takehiro Tomiyasu from Bologna for \u00a316m (\u20ac19m\/$22m) and Brighton landed Spain international Marc Cucurella from Getafe before the window closed.<\/p>\n

Manchester City made the biggest splash with a single transfer when they brought in Jack Grealish from Aston Villa for a fee of \u00a3100m ($139m), which set a new British record.<\/p>\n

Chelsea came close to matching that figure when they spent \u00a398m ($136m) to bring Romelu Lukaku<\/a> back from Inter.<\/p>\n

United made more expensive moves than Ronaldo, finally acquiring \u00a373m ($101m) Jadon Sancho from Borussia Dortmund and Raphael Varane from Real Madrid for \u00a340m ($55m).<\/p>\n

Arsenal were big spenders, too, bringing in the likes of Ben White, Martin Odegaard and Aaron Ramsdale for a total spend of \u00a3150m.<\/p>\n

There was an increase in players joining clubs on free transfers this year.<\/p>\n

A total of 22% of the signings by Premier League sides did not involve a transfer fee, which is up from the 20% of last summer.<\/p>\n

As many as 16 clubs signed at least one player for free throughout the window.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
