Premier League clubs smashed their spending record for a single transfer window for the second straight season as Manchester City's signing of Enzo Fernandez took the total outlay close to £3.5 billion ($4.7 billion).
A frantic final two days of the window, which closed at 2200 GMT on Tuesday, pushed spending in the summer window significantly beyond last season's record of £3.14 billion.
More than half of the clubs in the English top flight broke their transfer records, with multiple deals topping £100 million.
Chelsea midfielder Fernandez, 25, signed for Enzo Maresca's City late Tuesday for £125 million, matching the British record fee Liverpool paid 12 months ago for forward Alexander Isak.
Argentina's Fernandez will be part of a new-look City midfield alongside England's Elliot Anderson, who arrived from Nottingham Forest shortly after the World Cup for £116 million.
