Man City sign Fernandez, Ndiaye as Premier League clubs spend record £3.46bn
Premier League clubs shattered their transfer record of £3.1 billion spent in one window as Manchester City splashed out £125 million to Chelsea for Enzo Fernandez and signed Iliman Ndiaye from Everton.
Manchester City set a new Premier League transfer record by spending £3.46 billion during the 2023 summer window, with the club signing Argentine Enzo Fernandez from Chelsea for £125 million. The Argentine, who previously played under City's director of football Hugo Viana at Chelsea, will bolster a midfield costing over £325 million alongside England international Elliot Anderson and Moroccan teenager Ayyoub Bouaddi.
City also signed Senegal forward Iliman Ndiaye from Everton for £65 million, bringing the total summer spending for the club to £450 million. However, Chelsea's plans to sign Monaco's Lamine Camara as a replacement for Fernandez fell through, while Everton's £40 million bid for Brighton striker Folarin Balogun failed to materialize.
Arsenal secured a quiet deadline day by signing England winger Gabriel Jesus from Atletico Madrid, while Liverpool signed France forward Bradley Barcola from Paris Saint-Germain for £123 million. Liverpool also secured Belgian goalkeeper Lucca Brughmans, who will be loaned back to Genk for the remainder of the season. Liverpool and Aston Villa completed their summer business, with Villa signing Taylor Harwood-Bellis for £29 million.
Tottenham secured Chelsea's Mykhailo Mudryk on loan and added Tosin Adarabioyo for £10 million. Newcastle signed Belgium forward Matias Fernandez-Pardo from Lille in a £51 million deal.
