"The current Premier League spending sits at 325m, down from 421m in 2025 - but there's a good chance we might reach a similar final total with a busy deadline day expected. January 2026 has seen a somewhat middling window. Of the traditional big six, only Manchester City and Tottenham have been active, spending 84m and 48m respectively. Indeed, Antoine Semenyo's 63m switch from Bournemouth to City looks set to be comfortably the biggest deal done in the window."
"Liverpool, Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea have so far chosen to sit this one out, and that's been a prevailing theme for that quartet in January of late; Arsenal and Liverpool have not signed anyone at all in winter for three seasons now, while United's capture of Patrick Dorgu (27m in 2025) has been their only business over that same period. Chelsea signed Mathis Amougou (13.5m) last January, otherwise they have transitioned to relying solely on summer business, too."
Premier League January spending currently totals £325m, down from £421m in 2025, though a busy deadline day could push the final total higher. Manchester City and Tottenham have been the only active members of the traditional big six, spending £84m and £48m respectively. Antoine Semenyo's £63m move from Bournemouth to City is likely the biggest transfer of the window. City have spent heavily over the last 12 months, approaching £450m with recent additions. West Ham, Tottenham and others have made targeted signings, while Liverpool, Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea have largely abstained in January.
