Premier League transfer window winners and losers: Arsenal stability, City backing Maresca and Spurs' risky splurge
The English Premier League is set to surpass $4bn in spending for a second consecutive summer.
Premier League transfer window winners and losers: Arsenal stability, City backing Maresca and Spurs risky splurge originally appeared on The Sporting News. The 2026 transfer window has been chaotic, with nine of the 20 Premier League clubs changing managers since the end of last season. This includes Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Tottenham, and Crystal Palace.
For the winners, Arsenal have maintained stability, signing Bruno Guimaraes and Ezri Konsa, while Manchester City have made a record-equalling £125m move for Chelsea's Enzo Fernandez. Chelsea, in turn, sold Iliman Ndiaye to City. Manchester City's new manager Enzo Maresca has a deep and experienced squad, making a concerted push for major honours more likely.
The losers include Tottenham, who have spent heavily on Mateus Fernandes and Sandro Tonali but have yet to see any real impact. Crystal Palace, under new manager Pierre Sage, made a mistake by signing Daniel Munoz, their key forward Ismaila Sarr and Jean-Philippe Mateta are unhappy, and the club is facing significant departures and additions.
