The top spenders were, as expected, the traditional 'top six' clubs. Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, and Tottenham spent a combined £1.537 billion on new players, roughly half of the league's total spend.

Some clubs did better than others, so here's how we believe their transfer windows should be graded.

Arsenal

Arsenal had a massive £257 million net spend, making them one of the biggest spenders in the league. The club signed several key players, including Christian Norgaard, Martin Zubimendi, and Kepa Arrizabalaga, who will strengthen their squad options.

The club's most glaring problem was the number nine position, but they managed to sign Viktor Gyokeres from Chelsea, despite some controversy. Eberechi Eze's transfer was also a positive move, as he brings experience and ability to the table.

The only downside was the club's inability to sell players, with Leandro Trossard and Gabriel Martinelli remaining at the club.

Grade: A

Chelsea

Chelsea had a remarkable summer, selling players and turning a £17.9 million profit. They spent approximately £282 million on new players, including Liam Delap and Joao Pedro, who made an instant impact.

Chelsea also signed Jamie Gitens and Alejandro Garnacho to provide competition and depth on the left-wing, and Estevao, a young talented player from Brazil, who has impressed with his close control and dribbling ability.

However, the club's failure to sell Raheem Sterling, who is earning £300,000 per-week and has no prospect of playing, is a concern.

Grade: B

Liverpool

Liverpool had a dramatic summer, breaking the British transfer record twice to sign Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak. The Isak saga was the story of the summer, with the Swede eventually joining the club on deadline day.

Putting aside the drama, Liverpool have signed a genuine superstar in Isak, who has proven himself in the Premier League. They also signed Hugo Ekitike and Jeremie Frimpong, who have both impressed.

Trent Alexander-Arnold's departure was a concern, but the incoming signings have seemingly helped rebuild bridges with the club's ownership and sporting directors.
