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, sixty of these transfer window days have passed, with 24 (including today – Tuesday 9 August) remaining.
We are now at the point where 86 incoming signings by Premier League clubs have been confirmed (see below), with some £1.33bn 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.
The estimates of spending by Premier League clubs is probably a little conservative in the figures I have used from the various sources and we still have three and a half weeks left of this summer 2022 window, yet the Premier League clubs are already collectively only around £100m short 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 weeks time. With ‘only’ around another £400m of incoming signings needed to beat the record.
So which Premier League clubs have been the busiest so far…?
A breakdown below for each club with now Chelsea and Man Utd leading the way, Arsenal and Tottenham are next, both desperate to be competing once again.
West Ham, Man City, Leeds, Forest and Liverpool and are next.
Newcastle United now pushed down to tenth when it comes to biggest summer spenders.
Leicester City remaining the only one of the Premier League clubs not to have signed a single player.
These are all of the Premier League signings announced so far (as per the official Premier League site and BBC Sport):
