Man City lead January transfer spending as Premier League clubs smash last year’s total in the hunt for signings | Football news
Premier League clubs have already doubled their spending compared to last January – and there is still a week to go before the end of the transfer window.
Spending was £116m across the league a year ago – a drop of more than £600m from 2023 – as clubs became wary of breaking profitability and sustainability (PSR) rules.
A year on, however, the total spent in the current window is up to more than £234m, with the most important period coming as teams up and down the Premier League search for mid-season reinforcements ahead of Deadline Day on February 3.
