"It has been a record-breaking transfer window in the Premier League with billions spent by England's top-flight clubs -- including huge fees for Liverpool's Florian Wirtz (£100 million) and Hugo Ekitike (£69 million) as well as the £66.3 million Manchester United paid for Benjamin Sesko. Liverpool's deadline day move for Newcastle United's Alexander Isak will be worth around €130 million, smashing the previous Premier League transfer record which was set by Chelsea when they paid Benfica an initial €106.3 million for Enzo Fernández."
"The Chelsea forward enjoyed a head start on his attacking rivals in the Premier League because he joined Enzo Maresca's side from Brighton & Hove Albion halfway through the FIFA Club World Cup and made an instant impact for the eventual winners. His three goals in three games in the United States, after a £55 million transfer from the Amex, quickly confirmed Pedro as Chelsea's first-choice striker, and he has continued to impress in the Premier League with two goals and two assists."
Premier League clubs posted record spending in the summer transfer window, with multiple high-fee attacking signings across top clubs. Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United and others paid huge sums for forwards, including Florian Wirtz (£100m), Hugo Ekitike (£69m) and Benjamin Sesko (£66.3m). Liverpool's deadline-day acquisition of Alexander Isak approaches €130m and breaks the Premier League transfer record previously set by Enzo Fernández. Several clubs strengthened attacking options but new signings have produced mixed early performances. Chelsea’s £55m signing from Brighton scored three goals in three Club World Cup games and has two Premier League goals and two assists.
