After spending £2bn, Premier League clubs break the summer transfer spending record, with Chelsea the highest spenders in the top flight.

Over £2bn was spent by Premier League clubs over the course of the summer transfer window.

Premier League sides broke the record for summer transfer spending, which was previously £1.45bn in the 2017 window.

As per the Daily Mail, Chelsea were the highest spenders in the top flight under new owner Todd Boehly, with the arrival of eight players costing the Blues over £258m.

Antony's £85m move from Ajax to Manchester United was a major factor in the Red Devils spending over £214m in the summer transfer window.

West Ham United's and Tottenham Hotspur's transfer outlay was the third and fourth highest respectively in the top flight, while Nottingham Forest spent over £152m on 22 players.

Meanwhile, Leicester City were the Premier League's lowest spenders, signing two players for a reported £15.3m.
