Summer Transfers 2024

Time for my annual pet project, where the Premier league cash was splashed this summer.
Still a few transfer windows open around the world for transfers out, and many players still needing to find a home as free agents.

Spending down slightly, but still over £2 billion changing hands.
As usual Chelsea were the big spenders, Brighton made a big profit last year but blew all that and more this season.
Ipswich taking a big chance bringing in 16 players for £127m. Southampton signing nearly 3 teams worth of players?
Amazingly 6 teams made a profit and Liverpool and Man City spent very little by their standards.
3 of the 4 biggest fees were paid by foreign teams.

The Chart:
