The deadline for the Premier League’s 2024 summer transfer window is approaching, but clubs continue to spend big.

July 1st marked the start of a new PSR (Profit and Sustainability Rules) period, which meant teams across the country began to spend money a little more freely.

June saw many clubs attempt to sell players before the PSR deadline on June 30, leading to some strange deals between rivals to ensure no one suffered a points deduction.

But after these concerns were allayed, the top clubs strengthened their squads and are now trying to conclude a few final contracts at the start of the season.

A lot of money has been spent across the league and here are the biggest deals so far…

5. Joao Felix – Atletico Madrid to Chelsea: £43.7 million

Joao Felix returned to Chelsea this summer on a permanent contract after spending half a season on loan in 2023.

His expensive commitment went hand in hand with the departure of Conor Gallagher, who moved in the other direction to Atletico Madrid.

Felix scored four goals in 20 appearances for the Blues during his previous spell and then scored on his second debut against Wolves.

The Portuguese international joins a very active forward squad but will look to secure a place in the starting eleven.

4. Amadou Onana – Everton to Aston Villa: £50 million

Aston Villa broke their transfer record by signing Onana from Everton.

The Belgian midfielder returned from Euro 2024 and completed his £50 million move to Villa Park shortly afterwards.

Villa was able to prevail against interest from Arsenal and Bayern Munich and complete the deal.

Onana replaced Douglas Luiz in Unai Emery’s midfield and scored on his debut on the opening weekend against West Ham.

3. Pedro Neto – Wolves to Chelsea: £51.4 million

6

Chelsea announced the signing of Neto during pre-season and continued to sign new players.

Neto joined the Blues from Wolves for £51.4 million to strengthen Enzo Maresca’s already fully-staffed squad.

The winger is said to have burst into tears as he left Wolves’ training ground and said goodbye to his teammates.

It was an emotional decision for him, but now his full focus is on settling into his new home at Stamford Bridge this season.

2. Leny Yoro – Lille to Manchester United: £52 million

The arrival of 18-year-old Yoro at Old Trafford is one of the biggest deals of the summer so far.

He followed Joshua Zirkzee through the door in his £52 million move to Manchester United.

The French centre-back was used in pre-season and was expected to play an important role in Ten Hag’s team’s defence.

However, he has suffered an injury that will keep him out of action for the first few months of the season, delaying his competitive debut for the time being.

1. Dominic Solanke – Bournemouth to Tottenham: £65 million

6

Tottenham broke their transfer record this summer with the signing of Bournemouth striker Solanke.

Ange Postecoglou got his man for the proud sum of 55 million pounds up front, with additional services increasing the transfer fee to 65 million pounds.

Solanke has signed a six-year contract at the club after being rewarded with a move away following a brilliant last season.

He scored 19 goals in the Premier League, which was his best season in the top flight, and now he will be looking to repeat that form at Spurs.
