Liverpool completed a historic summer window by landing Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak on Deadline Day. His record-breaking arrival meant the Reds’ spending exceeded £400 million off the back of their title triumph.

They were well clear of last season’s runners-up Arsenal, who oversaw an aggressive summer in a bid to usurp Arne Slot’s men this season. Eberechi Eze joined Viktor Gyökeres, Martín Zubimendi and Noni Madueke at the Emirates, while Piero Hincapié was signed on the final day of the window.

Chelsea were busy again and spent a little more than £282 million on a range of fresh faces, while Newcastle United reinvested the Isak money with two pricey strikers. Manchester United and Nottingham Forest’s outlays also exceeded £200 million, with the latter busy bringing Botafogo’s entire squad to the City Ground.

Sunderland were the biggest spenders of the newly promoted sides, and their splurge continued up until the last moment. However, Burnley and Leeds United also committed around £100 million each on new additions.

At the other end of the spectrum, Crystal Palace and Fulham burst into life late on in the window, but neither club spent more than £50 million.


When Does the Premier League Summer Transfer Window Close?

The 2025 summer transfer window closed on Monday, Sept. 1 at 7 p.m. BST (2 p.m. ET) for all clubs. The window closed at a later date this summer due to the FIFA Club World Cup. As well, at the aforementioned time, the window will shut in Europe’s top five leagues: La Liga, Bundesliga, Serie A, Ligue 1 and the Premier League.

The window closed 17 days after the season began, with Liverpool beating Bournemouth 4–2 at Anfield on opening night.
