The summer transfer window in the Premier League and across Europe's major leagues closed on August 30, and the winter window will not reopen until the new year in January.
This past summer did not see the levels of spending from the Premier League as it did during previous years but there were still some huge transfers across the board.
Chelsea spent the most money (€261 million) on transfers of any club in world football during the 2024 summer transfer window. They signed Tosin Adarabioyo (Fulham), Omari Kellyman (Aston Villa), Marc Guiu (Barcelona), Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall (Leicester), Renato Veiga (Basel), Filip Jorgensen (Villarreal), Caleb Wiley (Atlanta), Aaron Anselmino (Boca Juniors), Pedro Neto (Wolves) and Joao Felix (Atletico Madrid), Estevao (Palmeiras) and Mike Penders (Genk).
Man Utd also spent heavily. They signed Manuel Ugarte from PSG for €50m + €10m in add-ons, Joshua Zirkzee from Bologna for €42.5m, Lille's Leny Yoro for an initial €62m and Bayern Munich duo Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui for a combined €60m.
Arsenal made David Raya's loan from Brentford permanent and signed Riccardo Calafiori from Bologna for €45m and Mikel Merino from Real Sociedad for €32m.
Liverpool signed Federico Chiesa from Juventus for a fee of €12m and Giorgi Mamardashvili from Valencia for €30m, although the Georgian goalkeeper won't arrive until next year.
Elsewhere, we saw Brighton (€231.2m), Aston Villa (€176.2m) and Tottenham (€148m) also splash the cash.
Our transfer live blog brings you all the latest news surrounding Man Utd, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Man City, Tottenham and all England's top-flight clubs, in addition to the biggest teams on the continent.

Liverpool are desperately trying to convince Virgil van Dijk to sign a new contract an Anfield.
The Dutchman's contract expires in the summer of 2025 along with team-mates Mohamed Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold, and there have been no announcements on an extension as of yet.

The potential Alexander-Arnold replacements
Trent Alexander-Arnold remains a major target for Real Madrid, who could sign the player on a free transfer from Liverpool in the summer.

Arsenal want to sign a new striker as early as this January.
A striker was a priority in the summer transfer window but the Gunners lost out on Benjamin Sesko, while they decided not to pursue Ivan Toney, Viktor Gyokeres or Victor Osimhen.
They ended up having to rely on Kai Havertz for the centre-forward role again, and although he has started the season well, Arsenal will eventually sign a top number nine. (Give Me Sport)
