Premier League sets new transfer market record
There’s the Premier League and then there’s everyone else. The 20 Premier League sides spent more than €4 billion this summer in the transfer market, setting a new record. Manchester City broke the record for the most spent by a single club in one summer, with more than €500 million spent on new signings. That's almost as much as the 18 French Ligue 1 clubs combined (€605 million).
Rayan Cherki has been nominated for the Premier League Goal of the Month award for August. He scored a notable individual goal against Crystal Palace, beating several defenders with his close control before scoring past Dean Henderson.
Cherki is competing against Emerson of Ipswich Town, Nilson Angulo of Sunderland, Keane Lewis-Potter and Kevin Schade of Brentford, Newcastle duo Joe Willock and Anthony Elanga, and Chelsea’s Cole Palmer. The winner will be announced at 1pm on 11 September, according to Yahoo Sports.
Voting for the award is now open. No other details about Cherki's nomination or the other contenders were provided by the reports.
