Summer Window Transfer Spending List: Arsenal tops the charts with £150 million!

The 2021 summer window in Europe’s mainstream leagues has now closed. This transfer window has seen Lionel Messi Cristiano Ronaldo both change sides and Mbappe continue to miss out on Real Madrid.

However, neither Paris, with their heavy signings, nor Manchester United, with their strong acquisitions, are the clubs that have spent the most money this summer. Topping the list of summer window spending is Arsenal, who have dropped almost £150 million.

In stark contrast, Arsenal are at the bottom of the table after three straight losses to start the season in the Premier League.
