just about to post that, how that even warrants a mention in the article
Champions Manchester City had the lowest net spend of any Premier League club in the transfer window - actually turning in a £115.8m profit.
They spent £21.4m on Brazil winger Savinho, but selling players such as forward Julian Alvarez and defenders Joao Cancelo and Taylor Harwood-Bellis made it a profitable window.
In fact, none of last season's top three featured prominently when it came to net spend.
Arsenal spent £93.9m - including £38.4m on Italy defender Riccardo Calafiori and £27.4m apiece for Spanish duo David Raya and Mikel Merino - but sold £76.8m worth of players.
Liverpool bought midfielder Federico Chiesa and goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili but selling players such as Fabio Carvalho, Sepp van den Berg and Bobby Clark meant they made a £14.4m profit.
City, of course, have won four successive Premier League titles. They face 115 charges – which they deny – of alleged breaches of the league's financial rules.
