Noah Okafor’s arrival at Leeds United from AC Milan pushed Premier League spending in this window to a record $24.17m.
The Premier League’s transfer spending spree has reached record levels with more than a week of trading to go as promoted Leeds United signed AC Milan forward Noah Okafor for a reported 18 million pounds ($24.17m).
Okafor’s arrival at Elland Road on Thursday, following Bournemouth’s signing of Amine Adli from Bayer Leverkusen, pushed the total spend beyond the 2.36 billion pounds ($3.7bn) splashed out in the 2023 summer window, according to FootballTransfers.com.
Several other big-money deals between now and the closing of the window, including the likely sale of Eberechi Eze from Crystal Palace to Arsenal, mean spending by the world’s most lucrative football league could even hit 3 billion pounds ($4.03bn).
While the list of big spenders is topped by the likes of champions Liverpool ($387.8m), Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal, even clubs with smaller resources have been splashing the cash.
