A wild summer of spending

The Premier League is throwing money like never before, with Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, United, and others locked in bidding wars worth millions. Who are the priciest signings of the summer? Here’s the Top 10, according to Transfermarkt figures—and not all of them play in England.

10. Mohammed Kudus – $73.4M – Tottenham

The Ghanaian attacker became Tottenham’s major offensive addition, snatched away from West Ham after a brilliant season. His versatility and flair make him a perfect fit for the club’s new attacking setup.

9. Jamie Bynoe-Gittens – $73.9M – Chelsea

Chelsea once again doubled down on youth by signing the English winger from Borussia Dortmund. At just 20, Gittens brings pace, dribbling, and the potential to dominate the left wing for years to come.

8. Viktor Gyökeres – $75.7M – Arsenal

The Swedish striker exploded at Sporting CP and now arrives at Arsenal with one mission: score goals. Arteta’s side is desperate to end their Premier League drought, and Gyökeres could be the final piece up front.

7. Mateo Retegui – $78.5M – Al Qadsiah

Al Qadsiah made headlines with this mega move. Retegui, after standing out in Italy, becomes a key face in the club’s ambitious Saudi project—ready to challenge the nation's top teams.

6. Luis Díaz – $80.5M – Bayern Munich

The Colombian winger left Liverpool after three seasons and now wears the shirt of the German giants. Bayern made a big bet on his creativity and see him as a guaranteed starter in Vincent Kompany’s new project.

5. Martín Zubimendi – $80.5M – Arsenal

A crucial signing for the Gunners, this time in midfield. Zubimendi brings balance, accuracy, and leadership to the center of the pitch. Arteta had been tracking him for months and finally got his man.

4. Matheus Cunha – $85.3M – Manchester United

United spared no expense to boost their attack, and after a strong year at Wolves, Cunha was the chosen one. His ability to play as a second striker or attacking midfielder gives Ten Hag tactical flexibility.

3. Bryan Mbeumo – $86.3M – Manchester United

Another big splash by United. Mbeumo left Brentford to step onto the Old Trafford stage, offering pace, goals, and high work rate. His Premier League performances made him a top target.

2. Hugo Ekitike – $109.25M – Liverpool

At just 22, Ekitike became Liverpool’s most expensive signing in recent memory. The French striker arrives from PSG with a heavy task: replace Salah’s goals and lead a new attacking era at Anfield.

1. Florian Wirtz – $143.75M – Liverpool

The blockbuster transfer of the summer. Wirtz, the crown jewel of German football, joins Liverpool as the creative heart of the team. At only 22, the club went all in on his talent—and paid the price.

The market’s not over yet

With several clubs still hunting reinforcements, this Top 10 could shift in the coming days. One thing’s clear though: the Premier League once again flexed its financial power—even if not all the big-money moves came from England.
