Premier League Transfer Frenzy: The 10 Biggest Moves So Far
It's been a busy and eventful summer transfer window for Premier League clubs. With just days to go before the season kicks off, we've taken a closer look at some of the most spectacular and high-profile moves ahead of the new campaign.
Top 10 Premier League Transfers (so far)
1. Florian Wirtz (€125 million, age 22) – from Bayer Leverkusen to Liverpool
2. Hugo Ekitike (€95 million, age 23) – from Eintracht Frankfurt to Liverpool
3. Bryan Mbeumo (€75 million, age 25) – from Brentford to Man United
4. Matheus Cunha (€72 million, age 26) – from Wolverhampton to Man United
5. Martin Zubimendi (€65 million, age 26) – from Real Sociedad to Arsenal
6. Viktor Gyökeres (€65 million, age 27) – from Sporting CP to Arsenal
7. Mohammed Kudus (€64 million, age 25) – from West Ham to Tottenham
8. Joao Pedro (€60 million, age 23) – from Brighton to Chelsea
9. Noni Madueke (€55 million, age 23) – from Chelsea to Arsenal
10. Anthony Elanga (€55 million, age 23) – from Nottingham Forest to Newcastle
Liverpool Leading the Charge
The reigning champions Liverpool have been among the most active clubs this summer, pulling off the two biggest deals so far. Creative German midfielder Florian Wirtz arrived for a record fee from Bayer Leverkusen, while talented forward Hugo Ekitike was brought in from Eintracht Frankfurt.
Rumors continue to swirl that the club is also preparing a record-breaking offer to lure Alexander Isak from Newcastle before the window closes.
However, Liverpool fans will have to bid farewell to some familiar faces. Key title-winning players such as Luis Diaz (sold to Bayern Munich) and Darwin Nunez (sold to Al Hilal) have left Anfield, and their absence could be felt this season.
Arsenal's "Make or Break" Season
In North London, there's a growing sense that it's now or never for Mikel Arteta and his Arsenal side after finishing second for three consecutive seasons. The signings of Viktor Gyökeres, Martin Zubimendi, and Noni Madueke provide both depth and quality in their pursuit of a first Premier League title since 2004.
Gyökeres, arriving after two sensational seasons in Portugal, faces high expectations. The question remains whether he can adapt quickly to the Premier League’s intensity. If Arteta can get him firing early, it could be a very exciting season for the Gunners.
A Spending Powerhouse
Once again, the Premier League has proven to be the world’s most dominant financial force. Only two transfers not involving Premier League clubs on either end would have made this Top 10 list:
- Mateo Retegui, from Atalanta to Al-Qadsiah for €65 million
- Victor Osimhen, from Napoli to Galatasaray for €75 million
