Premier League clubs were slow to splash their cash in the early months of the transfer window but business has picked up ahead of the start to the new season Friday.
Matthijs de Ligt (Manchester United)
Dutch international De Ligt has been reunited with Erik ten Hag, who helped the center-back rise to fame at Ajax as a teenager. After big money moves to Juve and then Bayern Munich, De Ligt's career has stalled as he fell out of favor for both club and country over the past year. His arrival is just part of a defensive overhaul as United have also recruited French teenager Leny Yoro and De Ligt's Bayern team-mate Noussair Mazraoui. But Yoro is set to miss the first three months of the season, giving De Ligt the chance to nail down his place in the team with a bright start at Old Trafford.
Pedro Neto (Chelsea)
Neto is so far the standout signing from another chaotic window at Stamford Bridge. The Portugal winger has joined from Wolverhampton Wanderers for a fee of £54m. Yet he faces stiff competition just to get into the side with Raheem Sterling, Mykhailo Mudryk and Noni Madueke among the other wingers available to Enzo Maresca. Neto has shone in flashes since joining Wolves in 2019 but has also been blighted by injury problems that put other suitors off.
Riccardo Calafiori (Arsenal)
The Gunners beat off stiff competition from Serie A giants Juventus to land the Italian defender following his impressive 2023/24 season for Bologna. Calafiori was also a shining light in Italy's otherwise pitiful defence of the European Championship in June. However, it is unclear where the 22-year old will fit into Mikel Arteta's team. His arrival, for a reported £42m ($53m), certainly boosts Arteta's wealth of defensive options as Arsenal aim to end a 21-year wait to win the title.
Niclas Fuellkrug (West Ham)
The signing of German international Fuellkrug has been the highlight of a busy summer for West Ham United. After spending his peak years rising through the ranks of German football at Hannover and Werder Bremen, Fuellkrug scored 16 goals in his sole season at Borussia Dortmund to help them reach last season's Champions League final.
Dominic Solanke (Tottenham)
Spurs are hoping Solanke can fire them back into the Champions League and maybe even end a 16-year trophy drought. Fresh from his best ever scoring season, netting 19 times in the Premier League for Bournemouth, the 26-year old would become Tottenham's record signing if the add-ons are met in a deal that can rise to £65m.
