The 20 clubs in England's Premier League combined to spend $1.4 billion (£897.9 million) on new players during the summer transfer window that closed on Tuesday, according to Sporting Intelligence.

Manchester City led the way with $236.0 million in expenditures including $157.7 million combined for attacker Kevin De Bruyne and forward Raheem Sterling.
