This window has already delivered breakthroughs across Europe, with player fees on the rise. From massive blockbusters to deals nobody saw coming, here are some of the biggest shock transfers that have gone down so far:
Morgan Rogers (Aston Villa ➔ Chelsea) — £117m: Chelsea stunned the market by triggering a monster record-breaking deal for the English attacker.
Elliot Anderson (Nottingham Forest ➔ Manchester City) — £116m: Man City beat out competition to pull off a massive mega-money midfield revamp.
Sandro Tonali (Newcastle ➔ Tottenham) — £92.5m: In one of the most unexpected Premier League transfers, Spurs raided Newcastle to secure the Italian star.
Bruno Guimarães (Newcastle ➔ Arsenal) — £75m: Mikel Arteta’s side bolstered their title-chasing midfield with a marquee deal for Newcastle’s talisman.
Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa ➔ Al Hilal) — £50m: The England international completed a surprising late move to Saudi Arabia, opening the door for Villa’s late squad restructuring.
