A Sky-High Deadline: Premier League Clubs Break Records in Deadline Day Frenzy

The 2025 summer transfer window slammed shut in sensational fashion, as Premier League clubs torched spending records in a glorious Deadline Day frenzy. Liverpool made the biggest splash, smashing the British transfer record—spending a staggering £125 million to secure Alexander Isak from Newcastle.

Newcastle immediately reinvested that windfall, signing Brentford’s striker Yoane Wissa for £55 million as a replacement. Meanwhile, Marc Guéhi’s anticipated move to Liverpool collapsed in the final hours, underscoring the unpredictable drama of transfer deadline negotiations.

Elsewhere, Manchester United offloaded Rasmus Højlund to Napoli and sent Antony on loan to Real Betis, while bolstering their roster by signing Antwerp goalkeeper Senne Lammens for about £18 million.Tottenham added some firepower with a loan signing of PSG’s Randal Kolo Muani—though without an option to make that deal permanent.

Overall, the Premier League pushed its spending past a staggering £3 billion this window—a record-breaking haul. Whether chasing signings or fielding bids, clubs left everything on the table, setting the stage for what promises to be a thrilling season ahead.
