Another adrenaline-fuelled deadline day has passed in Europe’s elite division, marking the conclusion of an extraordinary summer transfer window.
Premier League clubs were most extravagant in their splurges, racking up a bill of £3.19 billion ($4.06 billion)—more than La Liga, Serie A, Ligue 1 and the Bundesliga combined. Only three clubs in the English top flight spent less than £50 million as the old division record for highest spend in a single window was blown to smithereens.
