The transfer window has only just begun, with nearly a month still remaining, but clubs have already spent millions on deals.

In that context, the Premier League has clearly set the pace. England’s top flight accounts for the four biggest transfers completed so far.

The top 10 list also features three more moves involving English football, along with one transfer from Saudi football, one from Spanish football and one from Italian football.
