For the past 30 years, the English top flight has steadily grown into the world's biggest and richest football league, leaving Spain's La Liga, Italy's Serie A, France's Ligue 1, and Germany's Bundesliga trailing far behind.
Their financial power has allowed lower-ranked clubs in the English top flight to pay hefty fees and wages for top global talent, something most clubs across Europe would struggle to match.
Broadcast revenue from around the world has also given teams the financial freedom to invest wisely, making the Premier League tougher and more competitive than other European leagues.
Who are top 6 Premier League spenders?
In the current window, English teams have splashed staggering amounts on players, with Liverpool leading the charge and seemingly poised to make even more additions. Clubs have reportedly spent KSh 310 billion this window, per Transfermarkt.
Liverpool
The reigning champions have spent the most so far. Transfermarkt put their total spending so far at £252.2 million (KSh 43 billion). Some of their major arrivals include Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitike.
