The 2024 Premier League summer transfer window is in full flow, and clubs have been splashing the cash ready for the new season.

July 1 marked the start of a new PSR [profit and sustainability rules] period, which meant that teams up and down the land started to spend a bit more freely.

June saw many clubs scrambling to sell players before the PSR deadline of June 30, leading to some strange deals between rivals to ensure no one got a points deduction.

But now those worries are over for another year, top-flight clubs are strengthening their squads ahead of the upcoming campaign.

A lot of money has been spent throughout the league and here are the biggest deals so far...

Julen Lopetegui's top target since becoming West Ham's manager was Kilman.

The Spaniard worked with the Englishman at Wolves and was a big fan of the centre-back.

Kilman has great technique and adds some much-needed youth and pace to the ageing West Ham defence.

The Hammers have splashed out a lot of money, but it should prove to be worth it.

Aston Villa broke their transfer record to sign Onana from Everton.

The Belgian midfielder returned from Euro 2024 and completed his £50million move to Villa Park soon after.

Villa fought off interest from Arsenal and Bayern Munich to get the deal done.

Onana will replace Douglas Luiz in Unai Emery's midfield as they compete in the Premier League and Europe this campaign.

Chelsea announced the signing of Neto during pre-season as they continued to bring in new players.

Neto has joined the Blues from Wolves for £51.4million to bolster Enzo Maresca's already jam-packed squad.

The winger was said to be in tears as he left Wolves' training ground and said goodbye to his teammates.

It was an emotional decision for him, but all focus will now be on finding a place in the starting line-up at Stamford Bridge this season.

His £52million switch to Manchester United saw him follow Joshua Zirkzee through the door.

The French centre-back featured in pre-season and was expected to play a big part in defence for Ten Hag's side.

However, he has suffered an injury that will keep him out for the first months of the season, delaying his competitive debut for now.

Tottenham broke their transfer record this summer by signing Bournemouth striker Solanke.

Ange Postecoglou got his man for a whopping price of £55million up front, with the fee rising to £65million with add-ons.

Solanke has signed a six-year deal at the club, having been rewarded with a move following a brilliant last campaign.

He netted 19 goals in the Premier League, which was his best-ever season in the top flight, and now he'll be looking to replicate that form for Spurs.
