Tottenham Hotspur are leading the way with big spending as the biggest deals of the window continue to take shape across European football.

The 2026 summer transfer window is in full swing, and the money is already flowing across Europe. Premier League clubs are dominating the biggest deals, with Tottenham Hotspur leading the way under new manager Roberto De Zerbi as they look to force their way back into the upper echelons of the English game.

Tottenham Lead the Spending

Spurs have been the market’s most active club, splashing out over €260 million to reshape their squad. Their haul includes Sandro Tonali, Mateus Fernandes — reported to be among the summer’s biggest single deals — Jan Paul van Hecke, Andrew Robertson, Marcos Senesi and goalkeeper Martin Dúbravka. It is an aggressive statement of intent from De Zerbi’s rebuild.

Deals Across the Big Clubs

Elsewhere, the market has been busy. Chelsea have added Marco Palestra, Geovany Quenda, Emmanuel Emegha, Dastan Satpaev and Denner while cashing in on Marc Cucurella, who joined Real Madrid, and selling Tyrique George to Everton. Arsenal moved for a new goalkeeper in Illan Meslier, a free agent following the expiry of his Leeds United contract, and Liverpool unveiled French defender Jérémy Jacquet from Rennes as part of a defensive rebuild.
