Ranking each Premier League club’s summer transfer window

And there we have it, after three long months the Premier League’s summer transfer window has shut.
Clubs have had since early June to register players for the 2022/23 campaign and some have been a lot busier than the others. The start of the Premier League season didn’t affect business either, with clubs still putting an equal focus to the transfer market right until 11pm on Thursday.
With teams using the opening matches to find out what else their squads need, there was a whole host of late business in the final few hours of the market. And with that, we’ve ranked every single Premier League club by the quality of their transfer window.
20. Leicester
It took them until August 12th but Leicester finally made a signing! Sure it was a goalkeeper from the Championship, likely to be backup to Danny Ward, but it’s a signing! To be serious, Leicester haven’t had a good transfer window, standing still for the most part while also allowing Kasper Schmeichel to move to Nice and Wesley Fofana to join Chelsea. While their squad is very good, they were already showing signs of stagnation last season so definitely needed to do more than Wout Faes on the final day. If only something came of those Marcelo rumours.
Players In:
- Alex Smithies from Cardiff (free)
- Wout Faes from Reims (£15m)
Players Out:
- Tyrese Shade to Swindon (free)
- Vontae Daley-Campbell to Cardiff (free)
- Eldin Jakupovic (released)
- Jacob Wakeling to Swindon Town (free)
- Khanya Leshabela to Crewe (loan)
- Ben Nelson to Rochdale (loan)
- Kasper Schmeichel to Nice (£1m)
- Hamza Choudhury to Watford (loan)
- Jakub Stolarczyk to Fleetwood (loan)
- Welsey Fofana to Chelsea (£75m)
- Callum Wright to Blackpool (undisclosed)
- Callum Hulme (released)
19. Bournemouth
The Cherries are still in the market after sacking Scott Parker following a poor start to the season (and falling out with the board). Promoted to the Premier League in the summer, Bournemouth did have a slow start to the window but things picked up, with five new arrivals including £10m on Marcus Tavernier and £12.6m on Marco Senesi. Compared to the other newly-promoted sides this isn’t much at all, but maybe they feel they had a Premier League-ready squad last season. Time will tell, especially when a new manager comes in.
Players In:
- Joe Rothwell from Blackburn (free)
- Ryan Fredricks from West Ham (free)
- Marcus Tavernier from Middlesbrough (£10m)
- Neto from Barcelona (free)
- Marco Senesi from Feyenoord (£12.6m)

- Zeno Ibsen Rossi to Cambridge United (undisclosed)
- Nathan Moriah-Welsh to Newport County (loan)
- Christian Saydee to Shrewsbury (loan)
18. Wolves
In 2021/22 Wolves appeared better than they were because Jose Sa had a miracle season where he prevented 8.7 goals, by far the most in the league (Alisson was next with 2.1 goals prevented). Sa won’t do that again and Wolves have just added Nathan Collins to their defence, while allowing Conor Coady, Willy Boly, Marcal and Romain Saiss to leave. But they have added some big names further forward, including the club-record signing of Matheus Nunes from Sporting CP for £38m, £3m more than they paid for Fabio Silva in 2020. Their latest arrival up top is perhaps the biggest of them all, with 6 ft 7in Sasa Kalajdzic joining from Stuttgart, while a cheeky loan deal for Boubacar Traore was also wrapped up in the closing hours.
Players In:
- Nathan Collins from Burnley (£20.5m)
- Goncalo Guedes from Valencia (£27.5m)
- Matheus Nunes from Sporting CP (£38m)
- Sasa Kalajdzic from Stuttgart (£15.4m)
- Boubacar Traore from Metz (loan)

- Luke Cundle to Swansea (loan)
- Willy Boly to Nottingham Forest (£4.7m)
- Christian Marques to Forest Green (loan)
- Leander Dendoncker to Aston Villa (£13m)
17. Everton
Frank Lampard’s side survived relegation by the skin of their teeth and yet they took a while to add to their squad. For some time James Tarkowski was the only arrival but he has since been joined by six more players including a return for Idrissa Gana Gueye and £33.8m man Amadou Onana. Given the £50m departure of Richarlison though, it will be interesting to see how Dwight McNeil and Neal Maupay help to replace the Brazilian.
Players In:
- James Tarkowski from Burnley (free)
- Ruben Vinagre from Sporting (loan)
- Dwight McNeil from Burnley (£20m)
- Conor Coady from Wolves (loan)
- Amadou Onana from Lille (£33.8m)

- Dele Alli to Besiktas (loan)
- Jean-Philippe Gbamin to Trabzonspor (loan)
- Niels Nkounkou to Cardiff (loan)
- Andre Gomes to Lille (loan)
16. Fulham
The last time Fulham were promoted to the Premier League, they signed an entire team’s worth of players. That was the wrong approach and couldn’t save them, so they’re understandably being cautious. Their signings have strengthened the team and on deadline day they added depth in attack in the form of Carlos Vinicius from Benfica. He can’t do any worse than he did at Tottenham, surely?
Players In:
- Joao Palhinha from Sporting CP (£17m)
- Kristian Sekularac from Juventus (undisclosed)
- Andreas Pereira from Man Utd (£10m)
- Kevin Mbabu from Wolfsburg (£6.4m)

- Rodrigo Muniz to Middlesbrough (loan)
- Joe Bryan to Nice (loan)
- Sylvester Jasper to Bristol Rovers (loan)
- Paulo Gazzaniga to Girona (loan)
15. Brentford
Brentford are great. Of course, part of what makes them great is their savvy recruitment of players, and they have broken their transfer record twice this summer. They also lost Christian Eriksen, and took some time to replace him but compatriot Mikkel Damsgaard was eventually brought in, a highly-rated midfielder. Not that they’re showing any signs of missing Eriksen anyway.
Players In:
- Aaron Hickey from Bologna (£18.6m)
- Keane Lewis-Potter from Hull (£16m)
- Thomas Strakosha from Lazio (free)
- Ben Mee from Burnley (free)

- Joel Valencia to De Graafschap (loan)
- Halil Dervisoglu to Burnley (loan)
- Mads Sorensen to Nice (loan)
14. Brighton
Brighton may have lost their midfield engine and star defender but they’ve added little bits of quality to their squad including Pervis Estupinan to replace Marc Cucurella. And, most importantly, they’ve retained the services of manager Graham Potter for yet another season.
Players In:
- Julian Enciso from Libertad (£9.5m)
- Simon Adringra from Nordsjaelland (£6.9m)
- Benicio Baker-Boaitey from Porto (undisclosed)

- Kacper Kozlowski to Vitesse (loan)
- Neal Maupay to Everton (£15m)
- Florin Andone (released)
13. Crystal Palace
Palace have lost Conor Gallagher, with the midfielder going back to Chelsea but Malcolm Ebiowei has “got an enormous amount of ability,” according to former manager Wayne Rooney, who added: “he is not afraid to take players on, to get tackled, to make mistakes. So he has got a really bright future.” Sounds like a good signing, right? Palace are building a nice squad under Patrick Vieira and the biggest deal could be keeping Wilfried Zaha for another season.
Players In:
- Malcolm Ebiowei from Derby (undisclosed)
- Sam Johnstone from West Brom (free)
- Cheick Doucoure from Lens (£18m)
- Chris Richards from Bayern Munich (£8.5m)

- Luke Plange to Molenbeek (loan)
- Jake O’Brien to Molenbeek (loan)
- Rob Street to Shrewsbury (loan)
12. Leeds
Leeds have lost two of their best players in Kalvin Phillip and Raphinha, but they used that money well. The likes of Tyler Adams, Brenden Aaronson and Luis Sinisterra all arrived at Elland Road for fees of £20m+, and even though there were a few more names that didn’t join, Jesse Marsch is building something in Yorkshire…
Players In:
- Brenden Aaronson from Red Bull Salzburg (£24.7m)
- Marc Roca from Bayern Munich (£10m)
- Rasmus Kristensen from Red Bull Salzburg (£10m)
- Darko Gyabi from Man City (£5m)

11. Southampton
Saints have made some good improvements across the pitch, looking to build a more solid squad than the one that fought relegation last season. They were just missing a goalscorer to replace Danny Ings finally, and not put all the pressure on new signing Sekou Mara.
Players In:
- Gavin Bazunu from Man City (£12m)
- Armel Bella-Kotchap from Bochum (£8.6m)
- Mateusz Lis from Altay SK (free)
- Alex Iwumene from Sutton (undisclosed)

- Jan Bednarek to Aston Villa (loan)
10. Aston Villa
Steven Gerrard’s men moved fast and secured most of their transfer targets while Erik ten Hag was still figuring out where the toilets were at Carrington! Villa have signed smartly, securing important loanees and adding defensive quality. Expect a push for Europe, even with Diego Carlos being ruled out after undergoing surgery on a ruptured Achilles tendon and their iffy start.
Players In:
- Diego Carlos from Sevilla (£26m)
- Philippe Coutinho from Barcelona (£17.2m)
- Robin Olsen from Roma (£3m)
- Boubacar Kamara from Marseille (free)

- Tim Iroegbunam to QPR (loan)
9. Newcastle
The source of Newcastle’s newfound wealth is never something that can be ignored, it hangs over their every transfer like a cloud. For what it’s worth Newcastle have signed very well so far, adding proven quality to a squad in need of just that.
Players In:
- Sven Botman from Lille (£31.9m)
- Matt Targett from Aston Villa (£15m)
- Nick Pope from Burnley (£10m)
- Alex Murphy from Galway (undisclosed)

8. Manchester United
The Red Devils were low down on this list for some time but they have shot up with recent signings, even if they haven’t filled all the gaps in their squad. Tyrell Malacia, Christian Eriksen and Lisandro Martinez alone were not good enough, but Man Utd have finally signed the DM they needed in five-time European champion Casemiro, while Antony adds to the attack. This is more like it from the Red Devils, even if they still need a right-back and a striker.
Players In:
- Tyrell Malacia from Feyenoord (£12.9m)
- Christian Eriksen from Brentford (free)
- Lisandro Martinez from Ajax (£48.5m)
- Casemiro from Real Madrid (£51m)

- Tahith Chong to Birmingham (undisclosed)
7. Chelsea
Chelsea have been working hard to overhaul their squad this season and have focused heavily on the defence, bringing in Kalidou Koulibaly, Marc Cucurella and most recently Wesley Fofana. In attack, the marquee signing of Raheem Sterling is massive but they did let their star arrival from last season leave on loan, and sold Timo Werner.
Players In:
- Eddie Beach from Southampton (free)
- Raheem Sterling from Manchester City (£50m)
- Kalidou Koulibaly from Napoli (£33.8m)
- Omari Hutchinson from Arsenal (undisclosed)

- Bryan Fiabema to Forest Green (loan)
6. West Ham
Key to West Ham’s successes last season was their ability to defend, and to that end they’ve added four solid defensive players and a midfielder to keep them a hard-to-breach unit. Gianluca Scamacca is the big striker signing they’ve been after, while Lucas Paqueta will provide for the Italian, handing West Ham a pretty frightening squad.
Players In:
- Gianluca Scamacca from Sassuolo (£35m)
- Nayef Aguerd from Rennes (£29.8m)
- Alphonse Areola from PSG (£7.8m)
- Flynn Downes from Swansea (£12m)

- Armstrong Oko-Flek to Swansea (loan)
- Emmanuel Longelo to Birmingham (loan)
5. Arsenal
Arsenal had their requirements at the start of the window and they have worked very quickly the fill those roles. Fabio Vieira first came in to help with the creativity behind a No.9, that was recently added in Gabriel Jesus. His former team-mate Oleksandr Zinchenko has also joined to make it a second straight summer of spending over £100m.
The return of William Saliba from loan has left Arsenal look somewhat well-stocked in defence and Gabriel Jesus has been in electric form up-top. Could Arsenal be for real? They just might be.
Players In:
- Fabio Vieira from Porto (£30m)
- Matt Turner from New England Revolution (£4.7m)
- Marquinhos from Sao Paulo (£3m)
- Gabriel Jesus from Man City (£45m)

4. Nottingham Forest
Forest came up via the play-offs but have made the most significant transfer dealings of any promoted side and it’s not even close. You need to get your fingers and your toes out to count the number of new faces at Forest, which finished at 22! The Reds have remarkably broken their transfer record on three separate occasions this summer alone, the latest with £35m for Morgan Gibbs-White, after spending £20m on Emmanuel Dennis and £17 on Taiwo Awoniyi. Forest mean business.
Players In:
- Taiwo Awoniyi from Union Berlin (£17m)
- Ryan Hammond from Millwall (undisclosed)
- Dean Henderson from Man Utd (loan)
- Giulian Biancone from Troyes (£5m)

3. Liverpool
Losing someone as skilful and wonderful as Sadio Mane is never good and it remains to be seen how well Liverpool can challenge on all-fronts again without squad depth gods like Takumi Minamino and Divock Origi, but (arguably) the second-best team in the world just added a monster young striker to their already devastating attacks. The potential from Liverpool’s lethal full-backs crossing to the mighty Darwin Nunez is a prospect that should terrify every other team in the Premier League.
Players In:

2. Tottenham
Antonio Conte’s pleas for signings have been heard. They’ve strengthened in four key areas with genuine quality and energy, and made Cristian Romero’s loan move permanent. There’s not much more to say except that they’ve done supremely. Whisper it quietly, but Spurs may have a squad capable of sustaining a title challenge.

1. Manchester City
In 2021/22 Manchester City, arguably best team in the world, were lacking just one thing: a consistent goalscorer. Someone who could pull them out of a jam with his genius. Well, they only went and got literally one of the four best strikers in the world. And he’s only 22. And his dad used to play for City. Erling Haaland for just £51.5m is a staggeringly good bit of business and leaves City comfortably top of the transfer window power rankings before we even consider Kalvin Phillips, Manuel Akanji and Sergio Gomez.
