It is a testament to the quality of the division, though, that even Forest are far from guaranteed survival either. The Deadline Day arrivals of Layvin Kurzawa, Willian, Carlos Vinicius and Dan James mean their squad is now in better shape for what lies ahead. At Wolves, another influx of Portuguese talent in the shape of Matheus Nunes from Sporting Lisbon and Goncalo Guedes from Valencia. In Tyler Adams, Brenden Aaronson and Rasmus Kristensen, he brought in three players who have worked with him before. Nottingham Forest's extraordinary summer has left them with an almost entirely new squad. West Ham's spending reached £179m in total and others went for it too. At Chelsea, in particular, the list of deals that failed to materialise is a long one, with Jules Kounde, like Raphinha, opting for Barcelona, Anthony Gordon remaining at Everton and Ajax rejecting their late efforts to sign Edson Alvarez. Fulham's bright start to the season ensured that slow progress was not too costly. Their hunt for a new midfielder, from De Jong to Adrien Rabiot to Casemiro, all fine players but all of whom offer very different qualities, summed up the ever-changing parameters of their recruitment and the same was true in attack. From Haaland and Nunez to Jesus and Richarlison, many of those attacking additions are already thrilling supporters, but there were other areas for the Big Six to strengthen and strengthen they did. Liverpool brought in a superstar striker of their own in the £85m Darwin Nunez and Haaland's arrival at City proved an opportunity for Arsenal, whose £45m deal for Gabriel Jesus, deemed surplus to requirements at the Etihad, looks increasingly like a bargain. Premier League clubs spent a record-breaking total of over £2.1bn in a thrilling summer transfer window; Man Utd, Chelsea, Tottenham and Arsenal were among the biggest spenders, but they weren’t the only ones to splash the cash on new signings
