From Bruno Guimarães at Arsenal to Morgan Rogers at Chelsea, here is every Premier League club’s marquee signing so far this summer.

The Premier League transfer window has once again underlined the financial strength of England’s top flight, with clubs wasting little time putting serious money behind their ambitions. 

From title contenders strengthening their squads to newly promoted sides spending heavily to establish themselves in the division, Premier League clubs have not been afraid to invest in new talent.

The biggest moves have also involved some of the league’s biggest clubs. Chelsea have continued their aggressive approach to the transfer market with the £117 million ($156.5m) signing of Morgan Rogers from Aston Villa, while Manchester City have spent £116m ($155.2m) to bring Elliot Anderson in from Nottingham Forest.

Tottenham have also made a major statement under Roberto De Zerbi, signing Sandro Tonali from Newcastle United for £100m ($133.8m) and Mateus Fernandes from West Ham United for £85m ($113.7m). Arsenal, meanwhile, have strengthened their midfield with the £75m ($101m) arrival of Bruno Guimarães from Newcastle.

The spending has not been limited to the traditional “Big Six”, either and there could still be more major deals before the window closes.

Here is a look at the biggest arrival at each Premier League club so far, based on the transfer fee.
