The summer transfer window for Premier League clubs officially closed last Friday, with all 20 clubs completing their business for the season.

Spending billions

Across all 20 teams, the combined spending for the league was £2.36 billion, exceeding the previous record of £1.92 billion by almost £440 million.

Execute the business plan

With all the money spent in the window, some teams have used their funds perfectly, bringing in players for a specific purpose and not just flaunting money.

Five teams

Here are five teams that have done the best business heading into the 2023-2024 Premier League season.

Arsenal

Arsenal looks to have added the perfect mix of signings to make their squad even more competitive for another title charge this season.

Instant impact

The Gunners have brought Declan Rice, Kai Havertz, Jurrien Timber, and David Raya into the ranks, and some of them haven't taken long to get started, with Rice scoring the crucial goal against Manchester United at the weekend.

Bournemouth

Bournemouth did exceptionally to stay up in the Premier League last season and have made some shrewd additions in this window to further develop as an elite-level side.

Young talent

The additions of Bristol City's young star Adam Scott, USA international Tyler Adams, and winger Justin Kluivert give Bournemouth an elite central midfield pairing and an outlet that can score over ten goals this season.

Brighton

The kings of the transfer market have been at it again this summer, cashing in on the £115 million sale of Moises Caicedo and bringing in an influx of other superstars.

Ansu Fati

The additions of experienced duo James Milner and Mahmoud Dahoud brings maturity to the side, but the signing of Ansu Fati from Barcelona is nothing short of sensational, putting Brighton on a global stature.

Tottenham Hotspur

New boss Ange Postecoglou has been unbelievable since he walked through the door in North London, taking Spurs to second in the league, with the new signings being at the forefront of the new revolution.

Spurs new number 10

James Maddison and Micky Van de Ven have headlined their new signings, with Maddison scoring two and assisting two in four Premier League games. Harry Kane who?

West Ham United

The start of the transfer window worried West Ham fans, with The Hammers being the last team to buy a player in the Premier League after selling star man Declan Rice.

New midfield

West Ham have replaced Declan Rice with three quality midfielders, bringing James Ward Prowse, Mohammed Kudus, and Edson Alvarez. Ward Prowse and Alvarez have been nothing short of superb so far, leading West Ham to joint second.

Inflated prices

For all these teams, it's been money well spent in a market where inflated prices have been prevalent due to the Saudi Arabia takeover.

Taking teams to another level

Will these new signings continue to take their clubs to new heights, or will the other Premier League clubs prove their business was more successful as the season goes on?
