Premier League clubs ranked by net spend | 2026-27 transfer windows

The 2026 Premier League summer transfer window is open, and clubs are doing what they do best: spending money.

Premier League clubs have already spent over £1billion so far this summer, with weeks still to go before the windows shuts. Tottenham Hotspur have been the highest spenders so far, splashing just under £230m in an attempt to put their relegation battles behind them.

The north London club have spent £92.5m on Sandro Tonali, £85m on Mateus Fernandes and £52m on Jan Paul van Hecke, alongside a handful of free transfers. They’ve weakened Premier League opponents with some of those signings, too.

But the biggest deal of the summer so far belongs to Manchester City. They paid £116m to Nottingham Forest for Elliot Anderson, who has starred for England at the World Cup.

Elsewhere, Brighton and Hove Albion have also hit over £100m in spending, but that does include what was basically a centre-back swap with Tottenham. After selling Van Hecke for £52m, Brighton bought Luka Vuskovic from Spurs for £50m.

At the other end of the spectrum, Chelsea have joined Nottingham Forest and Newcastle United in receiving over £100m for players. The Blues have sold Marc Cucurella and Andrey Santos for fees of £50m+ each, with the latter joining Manchester United.
