The 2026 Premier League<\/a> summer transfer window is open, and clubs are doing what they do best: spending money.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Premier League clubs have already spent over \u00a31billion so far this summer, with weeks still to go before the windows shuts. Tottenham Hotspur<\/a> have been the highest spenders so far, splashing just under \u00a3230m in an attempt to put their relegation battles behind them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The north London club have spent \u00a392.5m on Sandro Tonali, \u00a385m on Mateus Fernandes and \u00a352m on Jan Paul van Hecke, alongside a handful of free transfers. They’ve weakened Premier League opponents with some of those signings, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the biggest deal of the summer so far belongs to Manchester City<\/a>. They paid \u00a3116m to Nottingham Forest<\/a> for Elliot Anderson, who has starred for England at the World Cup<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elsewhere, Brighton and Hove Albion have also hit over \u00a3100m in spending, but that does include what was basically a centre-back swap with Tottenham. After selling Van Hecke for \u00a352m, Brighton bought Luka Vuskovic from Spurs for \u00a350m. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the other end of the spectrum, Chelsea<\/a> have joined Nottingham Forest and Newcastle United<\/a> in receiving over \u00a3100m for players. The Blues have sold Marc Cucurella and Andrey Santos for fees of \u00a350m+ each, with the latter joining Manchester United<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But how does the net spend situation look this summer?<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
