FootballTransfers LIVE - All the latest news from Man Utd, Chelsea, Arsenal and around Europe!
The summer transfer window in the Premier League and across Europe's major leagues closed on August 30, and the winter window will not reopen until the new year in January.
This past summer did not see the levels of spending from the Premier League as it did during previous years but there were still some huge transfers across the board.
Chelsea spent the most money (€261 million) on transfers of any club in world football during the 2024 summer transfer window. They signed Tosin Adarabioyo (Fulham), Omari Kellyman (Aston Villa), Marc Guiu (Barcelona), Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall (Leicester), Renato Veiga (Basel), Filip Jorgensen (Villarreal), Caleb Wiley (Atlanta), Aaron Anselmino (Boca Juniors), Pedro Neto (Wolves) and Joao Felix (Atletico Madrid), Estevao (Palmeiras) and Mike Penders (Genk).
Man Utd also spent heavily. They signed Manuel Ugarte from PSG for €50m + €10m in add-ons, Joshua Zirkzee from Bologna for €42.5m, Lille's Leny Yoro for an initial €62m and Bayern Munich duo Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui for a combined €60m.
Arsenal made David Raya's loan from Brentford permanent and signed Riccardo Calafiori from Bologna for €45m and Mikel Merino from Real Sociedad for €32m.
Liverpool signed Federico Chiesa from Juventus for a fee of €12m and Giorgi Mamardashvili from Valencia for €30m, although the Georgian goalkeeper won't arrive until next year.
Elsewhere, we saw Brighton (€231.2m), Aston Villa (€176.2m) and Tottenham (€148m) also splash the cash.
Our transfer live blog brings you all the latest news surrounding Man Utd, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Man City, Tottenham and all England's top-flight clubs, in addition to the biggest teams on the continent.

It's up to the clubs now
Did Man Utd dodge a bullet by not signing Viktor Gyokeres?
Rio Ferdinand believes that Man Utd will be fine despite not signing Viktor Gyokeres.
“Listen, one thing there’s no dispute on, this guy has dominated Portuguese football for two years,” Ferdinand admitted in his latest YouTube video.
“Led defenders all over the place and smashed them all over the gaff, you can’t argue.
“He was massively linked to Man Utd because of the Amorim connection, and I was one who was saying, and I don’t want it to be distorted, the reason why I was saying no for United, was because I didn’t think he was the right profile for United, in terms of experience at the top level.
“You look at the two signings Man Utd have made [Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo] - Premier League experience, they understand the league. Whatever level you think they are, they are not going to have that adaptation to the Premier League and to the culture.
“Where he [Gyokeres] will have to have that - we don’t know if he can play in the Premier League, he hasn’t done it, he played for Coventry.”

Arsenal see Lookman as Eze alternative
Arsenal view Ademola Lookman as a cheaper alternative to Eberechi Eze.
The Gunners want to sign Eze in this window but informed Crystal Palace they wouldn't be paying for Eze's release clause, which has now expired.
Palace are undoubedly in the driving seat in negotiations now so Arsenal are looking at other players and could move for Lookman, who recently handed in a transfer request at Atalanta. (Football London)

Newcastle back in for Guehi
Newcastle will approach Crystal Palace for Marc Guehi again.
The central defender has been linked with both Newcastle and Liverpool this summer but so far neither club has been willing to match Palace's £50 million asking price.
Interestingly, Liverpool have have to play Waturu Endo and Andy Robertson at centre-back during pre-season so they may come in for another bid for Guehi also. (Sky Sports)
