Premier League clubs near £1bn mark – Record transfer window now inevitable
The 2022 summer transfer window for the 20 Premier League clubs officially opened on Friday 10 June.
The window lasting 84 days / twelve weeks, until 11pm on Thursday 1 September when the window closes.
So far, thirty nine of these transfer window days have passed, with 45 (including today – Tuesday 19 July) remaining.
We are now at the point where 61 incoming signings by Premier League clubs have been confirmed (listed below), with some £980m committed already in initial transfer fees.
The 20 Premier League clubs are now set for an all but guaranteed record summer window.
Premier League clubs are now on track to beat their previous record of £1.43bn spent on signings back in summer 2017.
With less than 47% of this summer 2022 window gone, the Premier League clubs are already collectively around 69% of that all-time record set five summers ago.
With any number of big signings speculated as still set to happen, I can’t see how that record isn’t going to be broken, maybe even by the time the season kicks off in two and a half weeks time.
So which Premier League clubs have been busy so far…?
A breakdown below for each club with Tottenham Man City and Leeds leading the way, then Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Man Utd, then Newcastle United in eighth.
