And so the summer transfer window of 2022 has officially slammed shut. It’s been one for the history books, that’s for sure, with Premier League clubs spending a record breaking £1.9 billion on prime footballing talent.
Unusually, we’ve seen several high-profile switches between rival Premier League clubs too. Which just demonstrates the ever widening financial gap between England’s top-flight and much of the rest of Europe.
The departures of Gabriel Jesus and Raheem Sterling headline those domestic deals, with Arsenal and Chelsea the beneficiaries of Manchester City’s willingness to part ways with their stars.
However, we’ve seen big money spent within the UK from the likes of Nottingham Forest and Spurs also. In terms of deals from abroad, well, they’ve been as rife as ever, with superstars like Erling Haaland, Darwin Nunez, Anthony and Casemiro all coming in for enormous fees.
