Premier League clubs spent heavily to sign some of the best players in Europe, with Liverpool and Manchester United forking over the biggest transfer fees of the window so far, each time scooping up talent from the Bundesliga.

Former captains Kevin de Bruyne and Kyle Walker have been sold while Jack Grealish has been loaned out to Everton. Incomings include Tijjani Reijnders, Rayan Ait-Nouri and Rayan Cherki who will hope to propel City back to the top of the table.
