Chelsea earn title of biggest spenders
Chelsea showed they weren't messing around early in the transfer window by paying £88.5m for Ukraine star prospect Mykhailo Mudryk.
The Blues are struggling in the Premier League and owner Todd Boehly has put down £323m to facilitate deals for the likes of Mudryk, Benoit Badiashile, Enzo Fernandez, and other star names.
The spending elsewhere was evenly spread, though some clubs like Brentford and Everton didn't make senior additions and others went down the loan route, with many deals having options or obligations for permanent transfers.
