Which Clubs Have Been Basking In The Summer Transfer Window So Far?
The Best Premier League Signings of the Summer Transfer Window
The 2025/26 Premier League season is underway, and as always, the summer transfer window remains open until the start of September. English clubs have already splashed the cash ahead of the new campaign beginning, proving the division to be the ultimate destination for players. But the question is: which clubs have enjoyed the best window so far?
Liverpool – Building For Further Success
Liverpool, crowned Premier League champions last season, have been the biggest spenders in the window up to press. After Arne Slot guided the Reds to the title last term, he’s wasted no time strengthening his squad, with the arrivals of big-money signings such as Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike, Jeremie Frimpong and Milos Kerkez. Their arrivals have been offset by the departures of Luis Diaz, Darwin Nunez, and Trent Alexander-Arnold, allowing Liverpool to balance the books effectively. As defending champions, it was important that they didn’t rest on their laurels, and they most certainly haven’t.
Chelsea – Big Money with More Focus
Chelsea have been known for scattergun spending in recent years, but this window felt more deliberate. Joao Pedro is the standout arrival so far, with teenage winger Jamie Gittens also arriving. Liam Delap was signed from Ipswich Town in a move seen as good value, while further investments in youth were made as Jorrel Hato joined from Ajax. The outlay has been huge, but Chelsea have managed to rake in the cash from winning the Club World Cup and by selling players that manager Enzo Maresca deemed no longer needed.
Manchester United – Attack Revamped
At Old Trafford, the focus was always to add firepower. Benjamin Sesko has arrived as the central striker the club believes will fire them to glory. Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha, who both starred in the Premier League for Brentford and Wolves last season, respectively, complete the new look frontline. As always, the proof will be in the pudding, especially at United, and there’s still a need to strengthen in other areas before the window closes.
Arsenal – Smart and Targeted
Unlike their rivals, Arsenal opted for precision rather than volume. Martin Zubimendi was brought in from Real Sociedad to provide control in midfield, while Viktor Gyokeres was signed after a prolific spell in Portugal. The Swedish forward’s arrival was so well-received that demand for his shirt crashed Arsenal’s online store. Other signings, such as Noni Madueke, Kepa Arrizabalaga, and Cristhian Mosquera, added much-needed depth. The Gunners’ strategy was clear: add quality to take the next step towards becoming Premier League champions.
More Deals to Come?
Even with so many deals already over the line, business is not finished. The latest football transfer betting suggests there are more deals to come before the window closes, with Alexander Isak joining Liverpool remaining a possibility. If the Reds manage to make that happen, then they will surely win the window. And there are always last-minute deals happening on transfer deadline day to add to the excitement.
Conclusion
Liverpool and Chelsea have dominated the window financially and are better off for it. But Manchester United and Arsenal are two teams that will be happy with their business so far, especially after taking a targeted approach. It will be interesting to see how the rest of the window plays out and if the players signed by Premier League clubs live up to expectations.
