Premier League clubs have broken their all-time summer transfer record after spending reached £3.46bn.
English top flight clubs had already pushed well beyond the £3bn barrier when Iliman Ndiaye's move from Everton to Manchester City on deadline day for an initial £60m took the amount spent past the previous mark of £3.14bn from 12 months ago.
Enzo Fernandez's move from Chelsea to Manchester City for a joint-British transfer record fee of £125m was then confirmed shortly after the transfer window closed.
A total of £475m was spent on deadline day itself, up from £391m last year.
The total amount spent during the window considerably dwarfs the £1.13bn spent by clubs just five years ago and underlines the power top English clubs have to attract talent, according to figures provided to BBC Sport by Paul Macdonald, founder of FootballTransfers.com.
