Premier League clubs have broke their all-time summer transfer record with spending reaching £3.49bn.
A total of £506.5m was spent on deadline day itself, up from £391m last year.
The total amount spent during the window considerably dwarfs the £1.13bn spent by clubs just five years ago and underlines the power top English clubs have to attract talent, according to figures provided to BBC Sport by Paul Macdonald, founder of FootballTransfers.com.
Three of the 10 most expensive signings in the history of football have happened this summer – with all of them being Premier League signings. In fact, this summer window featured four of the top flight's five most expensive ever deals.
So maybe it is not surprising then that of the 20 most expensive transfers completed, only six were not to clubs in the English top flight.
Indeed, newly-promoted Ipswich have spent more on new signings than the likes of Barcelona, AC Milan, Juventus and reigning European champions PSG.
Premier League clubs as a whole were willing to dip deep into their pockets this summer, as 11 of the 20 clubs broke their transfer records, six of them on more than one occasion.
Coventry, promoted to the Premier League alongside Ipswich and Hull, have done so four times over.
Have Arsenal's challengers done enough?published at 15:44 BST 2 September

Arsenal have started the new Premier League season with two wins as the transfer window closes, looking in ominous shape to retain the crown they won for the first time in 22 years last season.
Have their main rivals done enough to prevent Mikel Arteta's side winning a second successive title?
And what are the other big issues as the Premier League's transfer business was concluded until January?
Tottenham Hotspur have had a spectacular transfer window as they spent more than £300m - but results so far have been less than spectacular with two league defeats away to Brentford and at home to Newcastle United.
Roberto De Zerbi has been given huge backing, right up until the close of the window when he got his wish to bring in Mykhailo Mudryk, who played under him at Shakhtar Donetsk.
Mudryk resolved a doping case with the Football Association in July, but has not played a competitive match since November 2024.
De Zerbi must mould his host of new faces, 10 with the arrival of Tosin Adarabioyo from Chelsea, into a coherent unit, but this looks like a squad that possesses promise - with De Zerbi's biggest task getting Spurs to ditch the losing mentality that has seen them finish 17th in the last two seasons.
How did Mudryk fare at Chelsea?published at 14:26 BST 2 September

Mykhailo Mudryk joined Chelsea from Shakhtar Donetsk in 2023 for an initial £61m, having attracted interest from clubs across Europe including Arsenal.
After impressing in the Champions League with Shakhtar in the first half of 2022-23, Mudryk needed time to adapt to a new country and league.
He had to wait until October 2023 for his first Chelsea goal, and he ended his first full campaign at Stamford Bridge with seven goals and four assists.
By the start of 2024-25, Graham Potter - who signed Mudryk - had been succeeded first by Frank Lampard, then Mauricio Pochettino and finally Enzo Maresca.
Mudryk struggled for Premier League starts in the first months of Maresca's tenure, but he was making an impact in the Conference League when he underwent an out-of-competition test on international duty with Ukraine in October 2024.
Mudryk was provisionally suspended after returning an "adverse finding" for banned substance meldonium.
He was subsequently given the maximum four-year ban by the FA, but he appealed against the decision to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas).
He became free to return to competition "with immediate effect" on 31 July 2026, after the FA said anti-doping disciplinary proceedings had been resolved and Mudryk had accepted breaking anti-doping rules, also agreeing to a suspension equal to the time already served.
Mudryk, who has always maintained he had "never knowingly or intentionally" taken a banned substance, said he was "grateful" to be able to return to playing after "the most difficult period" of his career.
He will now restart his career at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, 11 miles north east of where it appeared to be falling apart.

'It's a very good fit' - Adarabioyo on Spurs movepublished at 23:29 BST 1 September

Tosin Adarabioyo believes joining Tottenham is a "very good fit" for him after completing a permanent move from London rivals Chelsea.
The 28-year-old defender featured 29 times for the Blues last season and brings a wealth of Premier League experience to Roberto de Zerbi's side.
"I'm in an important part of my career and speaking to the head coach and knowing the type of football he wants to play, I think it's a very good fit," the Manchester City academy graduate said. "He wants the team to play with courage and that's something that I always look to do.
"I want to achieve the absolute best, to push this team and this club as much as possible to where we deserve to be.
"That's something that has to be done every single day, especially on the training pitch, and I will be bringing that mentality to the club."
His new boss De Zerbi added: "Tosin is a strong, athletic defender who plays with confidence and understands the demands of playing at the highest level.
"I've also been impressed with his mentality and desire to be part of what we are building. He knows the responsibility that comes with representing this club.
"We're very happy to have Tosin with us and I know our supporters will quickly see the qualities he can bring to the team."

Mykhailo Mudryk says "it's a great feeling" to join Tottenham on loan and he is "so excited to be reunited" with head coach Roberto de Zerbi.
The 25-year-old Ukraine forward signs from Chelsea on a season-long loan with the option to buy for £75m.
Mudryk has previously worked with De Zerbi during his time at Shakhtar Donetsk.
"I can't wait to start training and playing for the club, and I'm so excited to be reunited with Roberto De Zerbi," Mudryk said. "I'm a player who brings speed and creativity, and I want to help in both the offensive and defensive areas.
"I want to make the fans excited.
"I can see it's a strong squad here with good players, and I'm looking forward to sharing a pitch and special moments with them."
De Zerbi added: "Having worked with Misha earlier in his career, I know exactly what he can bring to our team.
"He has the quality to change a game with his speed and ability in one-vs-one situations, and is an exciting, attacking talent.
"I will demand a lot from Misha and it is our job to help him find the best version of himself. If we do that then he can become a very important player for us. I am very happy he chose to come here, and I cannot wait to work with him again."
"This transfer chain between Cody Gakpo, Iliman Ndiaye and Mykhailo Mudryk is interesting to me," Smith said on BBC Radio 5 Live's Monday Night Club. "They are all forwards who have played Premier League football, but that's literally the only thing they have in common.
"They might like the same soap operas - I have no idea - but other than that, it is really hard to see a pattern.
"Tottenham drew them up as their three contenders for the left wing spot, but they are all completely different profiles of players.
"These clubs spend so much money on analysts, data, information and expert scouts. If I was an owner, I would be asking: 'Have we not spent quite a lot of money on these smartest people in the room to spot bargains?'
"Fans have a different reaction to a player coming in for a bargain fee and doing well compared with a club spending a seventh of their entire revenue on a left winger.
"Nobody seems to be thinking any more, apart from the usual clubs."

Tottenham defender Kota Takai has joined Belgian top-flight side Sint-Truidense VV on a season-long loan deal.
The 21-year-old is yet to make a senior appearance for the club, despite signing from J1 League club Kawasaki Frontale in July 2025.
Takai spent the second half of 2025-26 on loan at Borussia Monchengladbach, making eight appearances for the Bundesliga side before returning to north London.

Spurs to sign Mudryk and Adarabioyopublished at 21:54 BST 31 August
21:54 BST 31 August
Chelsea have accepted offers from Tottenham for winger Mykhailo Mudryk and defender Tosin Adarabioyo, as well as a bid from Italian club Como for goalkeeper Robert Sanchez.
The trio are now expected to leave Stamford Bridge, subject to agreeing personal terms, with Spurs keen to secure Mudryk, 25, and reunite him with his former manager Roberto de Zerbi.
The Ukraine international has not played a competitive match since November 2024 but returned last month after serving a suspension for taking the banned substance meldonium.
Mudryk previously played under De Zerbi at Ukrainian side Shakhtar Donetsk before moving to Chelsea for an initial £61m.
Spurs will also sign Chelsea defender Tosin Adarabioyo on a permanent deal to replace Kevin Danso, who is set to join Sunderland on an initial loan deal.
Man City agree Ndiaye dealpublished at 20:33 BST 31 August
20:33 BST 31 August
Manchester City have agreed a deal worth up to £65m to sign Iliman Ndiaye from Everton.
The clubs reached an agreement on a deal worth a guaranteed £60m plus a further £5m in add-ons for the Senegal winger.
The news comes after Tottenham agreed deals with Everton on Friday night for Ndiaye to join the London club, with Richarlison moving the other way in a separate transfer.
However, sources are indicating Richarlison failed to agree personal terms with former club Everton, who are understood to have made a £35m offer for the Brazil forward.
As a result, Tottenham have been unable to proceed with the Ndiaye transfer.
In an emotional statement on Instagram on Monday, Richarlison said: "After everything I've been through in the last few years, I've decided that never again will anyone decide my future for me.
"If they reach an agreement between Spurs and Everton, I will return to my beloved club.
"My intention was to go back to the place where I was very happy, yes, but the negotiations happened only in the way certain people wanted, and it will no longer be like that.
"Despite all this turmoil, I am under contract at Spurs and will remain at the club's disposal."
