Summer Transfers 2018

A little bit of an addiction for me, grabbing all the info on where the Premier league cash was splashed during the summer break.
A bit weird this year with the Premier league transfer window shutting before the season started, but players still being allowed to move to Foreign and non Prem teams until Friday.

So here we go info based on the best sources I could find (no sensationalist newspaper figures), includes squad and youth players .
Several Undisclosed figures (mainly for youth players) which I've counted as free transfers.
Spending is down this year, although still over a Billion pounds changed hands.
