Every Premier League transfer record broken this summer

Brentford – Dango Outtarra (£42m)

Brentford banked big fees for Bryan Mbeumo (£72m) and Yoane Wissa (£55m) this summer, with the Bees reinvesting a significant chunk in Dango Ouattara. The versatile attacker arrived from Bournemouth for an initial £37m, rising to £42m with add-ons.

Outtarra struggled for consistency on the south coast but is a real threat when in the mood. He marked his Brentford debut with a goal in an encouraging start.

“We liked his Premier League experience, even at his young age,” Brentford boss Keith Andrews said on the deal. “He just hasn’t found the rhythm yet because of a lack of consistent game time.”

Burnley – Lesley Ugochukwu (£25m)

The gap between the Championship and Premier League is a concern at present, but the newly-promoted teams are ready to give it a good go on the survival front.

Each have invested heavily, with Burnley breaking their transfer record to sign Lesley Ugochukwu from Chelsea. The Frenchman showed glimpses of promise on loan at Southampton last season and is a player of real potential.

Fulham – Kevin (£34.6m)

Fulham fans were made to wait until the very last day for their club to sign an outfielder, but when the Cottagers did, they went big. Brazilian winger Kevin arrived on Monday for a club record fee from Shakhtar Donetsk to boost Marco Silva’s attack, which will hopefully go some way to easing the manager’s fury over their lack of business this summer.

“I am happy to be in the biggest league in the world, at a huge club, too,” said Kevin.

“I’m very flattered for everything that’s happening in my life, and I hope to score a lot of goals this season and do great work here in Fulham.”

Liverpool – Alexander Isak (£125m)

Liverpool not only broke their own transfer record twice, but broke the British transfer record on two occasions. Florian Wirtz arrived from Bayer Leverkusen for a fee that could reach £116m with add-ons, eclipsing the previous record that took Moises Caicedo to Chelsea in 2023 (£115m).

Liverpool then went and broke the British record again, signing Alexander Isak from Newcastle United on deadline day. A £125m fee has brought the Swedish striker to Anfield in an ominous statement from the Premier League champions, which could rise to £130m with add-ons.

Newcastle United – Nick Woltemade (£69m)

Newcastle endured a frustrating start to the summer, missing out on targets such as Liam Delap, Joao Pedro, Benjamin Sesko and Hugo Ekitike as they searched desperately for a new striker. With Callum Wilson released and the aforementioned Isak pushing for an exit, landing a top-class centre-forward was imperative.

The Magpies spent £69m to sign Stuttgart’s Nick Woltemade, with the German giant the breakout star of the 2024/25 campaign. He scored 17 goals in all competitions, led Stuttgart to German Cup success, and won the Golden Boot at the U21 European Championship in the summer.

Sunderland – Habib Diarra (£30.5m)

Sunderland have overseen arguably the most ambitious recruitment drive of any promoted team, ever.

The Black Cats have bought big, including the £30.5m capture of Habib Diarra from Strasbourg. The midfielder has made an instant impression in a new-look midfield alongside Granit Xhaka, as Sunderland have started their Premier League return positively.
