Premier League clubs have splashed out more than ever before in a transfer window as spending this summer surpassed £3bn.
A total of £2.73bn had been spent by 31 August, but big-money deadline day deals - headlined by Alexander Isak's move from Newcastle to Liverpool for a British record £125m - pushed the total to £3.087bn.
The spending was significantly more than last summer, when the outlay by top-flight teams was £1.96bn.
The league's record had been the £2.36bn spend in the summer 2023 window.
The total this year is more than was spent by Bundesliga, La Liga, Ligue 1 and Serie A clubs combined.
