Man Utd, Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea: Every PL club's net spend since 2018/19

The 2022 summer transfer window was a record-setting one for Premier League clubs.

Per BBC Sport, the 20 top-flight sides splashed out a combined £1.9 billion on transfers, smashing the previous high of £1.4bn set in 2017.

The Premier League’s spending dwarfed that of Europe’s other top leagues, outstripping the Bundesliga, Serie A and La Liga combined.

Chelsea were the club with the highest outlay during the transfer window, racking up purchases totalling more than £253 million.

Manchester United were the only other Premier League club to break the £200m mark, with their deadline day signing of Antony from Ajax accounting for £85.5m of that figure.

Chelsea may have spent significantly, but they also saw the most departures during the window – with 20 players exiting Stamford Bridge either on permanent or loan deals.

A single transfer window, though, isn’t truly a fair sample size to judge how a team has fared in the market.

With that in mind, we’ve taken to the ever-reliable Transfermarkt to look at every Premier League club’s net spend over the past five seasons.

For those not familiar with the term, net spend is the figure spent when taking into account both expenditure and income from transfer deals.

A total of 27 teams have competed in the English top-flight since 2018/19. All but five of them have a positive net spend in that period.
