Premier League spent 3 billion: who became the winners of the transfer window.
According to The Sun: Everything has come to an end. At least for a little while.
This transfer window has been the most extensive in the history of the Premier League. The consequences of this show will be felt for several months.
Premier League clubs spent nearly £3 billion on transfers this summerNow that the situation has calmed down a bit, who has become the 'winner' and 'loser'? Which fans are currently in a mood of joy, and which are in depression?
Sun Sport analyzes the spending of both large and small clubs.
Arsenal
The team welcomed eight new players without significant losses, and there was also a successful deal with Eberechi Eze, who moved from Tottenham.
Mikel Arteta has obtained the desired squad to finally return to the top and win the Premier League for the first time since the 'Invincibles' 21 years ago.
But with that comes a great burden, as the Spaniard must meet expectations.

Aston Villa
The management of Villa Park claims that the late signings of Jadon Sancho and Harvey Elliott have been 'good business', although the situation appears to be otherwise.
Keeping Emiliano Martinez is a positive moment if his thoughts remain in the right direction. But the sale of Jacob Ramsey indicates financial difficulties for the club.

Bournemouth
The promise of Andoni Iraola that the summer departures of players like Dean Hussein, Milos Kerkes, Illya Zabarnyi, and Dang Ouattara would not be detrimental is confirmed by a successful start to the season.
The future of the team depends on keeping players free of injuries, and new signings must enhance the threat from Antoine Semenyo and Evanilson.
However, the question remains how long they can maintain this form.

Brentford
For Keith Andrews, it has been a tough challenge as he could not stop the exit of Bryan Mbeumo, Christian Norgaard, and Yoane Wissa from the club.
Brentford is another 'moneyball' team, but formulas must be precise within a limited budget.
It is essential to avoid mistakes, as new signings such as Caoimhin Kelleher, Ouattara, and Jordan Henderson look quite promising.

Brighton
Summer has once again brought changes, including the loss of Joao Pedro, who moved to Chelsea. A net profit of £64 million could have been even higher had the club not declined Manchester United's offer for Carlos Baleba.
>The Seagulls have made good money in the transfer market in recent seasons—largely thanks to Chelsea—but some 'Amex' fans are worried about departures before crucial games.Sun Sport Rating: 4
Burnley
Scott Parker could leave the team with which he returned to the Premier League.
The squad is left with only five players who played in the last match of the previous season.
Parker prefers experienced Premier League players, but it is difficult to understand where to find the necessary goals.

Chelsea
Many doubted Chelsea's new financial model under Behdad Eghbali and Todd Boehly, but now no one can deny its success.
Only Liverpool spent more than the £263 million Chelsea, which signed potential generational talent Estevao Willian along with Joao Pedro, Liam Delap, Jamie Jatten and Alejandro Garnacho.

Crystal Palace
Losses of the best player are always tough, but Oliver Glasner worked hard to keep Marc Guehi, Adam Wharton, and Jean-Philippe Mateta when Eze left the team.
Glasner remained dissatisfied with the team's lack of activity before their first European campaign, and injuries could rob them of some key players.
Sun Sport Rating: 4
Everton
New stadium, new ambitions. After a few early matches, Jack Grealish appeared in blue and gave hope.
David Moyes might not have been fully convinced by Grealish, but he has now become his loyal supporter, although the squad looks pretty thin after summer losses.
The big question is whether Moyes will have enough strength to reach the top eight.

Fulham
The last two deals for wide players and the changed opinion about Harry Wilson indicate instability in the management at Craven Cottage.
Fulham spent less than £35 million, most of which went on winger from Donetsk Kevin, although Marco Silva did not lose any key players.
However, it looks like a missed opportunity.

Leeds
Under new American owners, ambitions have not faded, and Daniel Farke is being aided after promotion.
Farke hopes that Dominic Calvert-Lewin will bring goals after a free transfer from Everton, and Sean Longstaff will provide reliability in midfield.
Survival will also depend on home form.

Liverpool
Many Liverpool fans celebrated the record signing of Alexander Isak. Though the champions could not conclude a deal with Marc Guehi at the last moment, they have still significantly improved.
This is now Arne Slot's team, not an extension of Jurgen Klopp's era, although the boss at Anfield hopes to see more of what is expected from Florian Wirtz.
By adding Isak, Wirtz, and Hugo Ekitike—it signals serious intent.

Manchester City
Pep Guardiola spent most of the summer budget before the Club World Cup, but the purchase of TWO goalkeepers indicates uncertainty.
The new signings are not yet impressive, and Guardiola has lost five players who featured in the Champions League final in 2023, including Kevin De Bruyne.
While a lot of money has been spent, City urgently needs Rodri to find form, and Gianluigi Donnarumma to adapt faster.

Manchester United
Ruben Amorim has secured desired players and got rid of most of the surplus, leaving only Tyrell Malacia.
However, United is still nowhere near ideal.
Benjamin Sesko, Matheus Cunha, and Bryan Mbeumo need to provide more goals, but Amorim's tactical setup makes them vulnerable without the ball.
The signing of Belgian goalkeeper Senne Lamens at the last moment also emphasizes existing issues.

Newcastle
The shadow of Isak has almost disappeared, and £130 million should not be underestimated, but the fans of Tu were disappointed in recent weeks.
Eddie Howe needs Yoane Wissa and German striker Nick Woltemarde to score more frequently so that they don't miss Isak.
Speaking of management issues, Newcastle looks like a club without a clear direction.

Nottingham Forest
The public conflict between Nuno Espirito Santo and owner Evangelos Marinakis probably has only one winner—it’s the Greek, not the Portuguese.
Forest's main victory has been retaining Morgan Gibbs-White, but losing Antony Elanga has been significant.
Fans at the City Ground hope for a lot from Douglas Luiz, in a club that looks like a 'tight wire'.

Sunderland
The Black Cats illustrate the importance of parachute payments that encourage entering teams to spend significantly.
Sunderland spent more than Manchester City, Tottenham, and Everton, among others.
If it works, Regis Le Bris will deserve recognition.
Sun Sport Rating: 8
Tottenham
The winning winter window could have ended in failure after unsuccessful attempts to sign Gibbs-White and Eze, but everything turned out to be more positive.
Mohammed Kudus has already made an impression, and significant excitement has been generated by Xavi Simons.
Hopefully, Randell Kolo Muani will remind PSG and Juventus of their mistake.
But Thomas Frank thinks it would be better to get rid of a few more players, including Yves Bissouma.

West Ham
The losses of Kudus for Tottenham were a blow for the 'Hammers', but Graham Potter also managed to retain Lucas Paqueta and find some good deals at the end of the window.
Senegalese El Hadji Malik Diouf could become their best signing in a long time, while Brazilian Igor Julian could strengthen the weak defense.
Potter understands that he is under pressure.

Wolverhampton
Victor Pereira, fond of beer, probably needed a drink after several Manchester players left the club.
It appears that Wolverhampton has become weaker than last season. Today, £100 million does not buy much in the market.
This could be a difficult season.
