The 2026 Premier League summer transfer window closed at 11pm BST on September 1, and clubs spent the final hours doing what they do best: lighting enormous piles of money on fire in the name of squad improvement.
Chelsea’s acquisition of Morgan Rogers from Aston Villa for £117m set a new British transfer record. Manchester City followed closely behind, snapping up Elliot Anderson from Nottingham Forest for £116m.
The deals that defined deadline day
Iliman Ndiaye’s transfer from Everton to Manchester City for approximately £65m added yet another attacking option to Pep Guardiola’s squad. Ibrahim Mbaye made the switch from PSG to Aston Villa for around £47m.
Liverpool secured Bradley Barcola from PSG. The fee for the French forward has been reported anywhere between £107m and £123m depending on the source.
