The 2024 summer transfer window for top leagues in Europe has officially closed last night, August 30, and the Premier League teams have collectively spent over £1.96 billion on player acquisitions.
According to data from Football Transfers, the said amount is more than double the spending of Italy’s Serie A teams in the 2024 summer transfer window.
Some of the most notable deals were announced in the early hours following the deadline day on August 30. One of the eye-catching moves was Chelsea’s winger Raheem Sterling joining Arsenal on a season-long loan, while Chelsea confirmed the signing of Manchester United’s Jadon Sancho on a similar arrangement.
Both transfers required deal sheets to be signed, extending the deadline by two hours and leaving fans waiting late into the night for confirmation.
Another last-minute transfer saw England striker Ivan Toney completing a £40 million move from Brentford to the Saudi Pro League side Al-Ahli.
Before allowing Sancho to leave, Manchester United made the highest fee signing of the day, acquiring Paris St-Germain and Uruguay midfielder Manuel Ugarte for an initial £42.1 million, with the potential to rise to £50.5 million after add-ons.
This filled the gap left by Scotland international Scott McTominay, who moved to Serie A side Napoli for £25.7 million on transfer deadline day.
Additionally, forward Eddie Nketiah joined Crystal Palace from Arsenal in a deal worth around £30 million minutes before the window closed.
In the early hours of deadline day, Arsenal also sold goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale to Southampton for £25 million.
