Premier League spending in transfer window to reach £600million with Paul Pogba deal

PAUL POGBA’S impending move to Manchester United will see Premier League spending in the transfer window crash through the £600million mark.

Pogba is expected to seal his world record £112m move to Old Trafford in a deal that has stunned supporters around the world.

The Juventus star will be the most expensive import to the English game – but it is not just United who are going cash crazy this summer.

With money to burn thanks to the start of the new multi-billion television deal, top flight clubs are finding it easy to splash out on new signings.

There is still a month to go before the transfer window slams shut and the signs are that spending will break the £1billion barrier for the first time ever.

At the moment it is Liverpool who lead the way in the spending charts, having forked out £63.2m as Jurgen Klopp rebuilds his squad at Anfield.

Sadio Mane is their biggest signing at £34m, while the capture of Georginio Wijnaldum from Newcastle last week cost a further £25m.

Chelsea are second in the investment stakes so far, using £62m of Roman Abramovich's money to capture N'Golo Kante from Leicester and Michy Batshuayi from Marseille.

Chelsea boss Antonio Conte has already admitted that transfer fees are now crazy, but he is still planning to open the chequebook again before August is out.

Then come United, who have invested £60m on Eric Bailly and Henrikh Mkhitaryan, with Zlatan Ibrahimovich also joining on a free transfer.

They will leap clear at the top once Pogba's move is finalised with the club finally agreeing the agent's fee of Mino Raiolo - the last stumbling block in the deal.

A sign of the modern era can be seen at clubs like Bournemouth who have already paid £28.15m on new players since the end of last season.

And the spending is only going to increase over the coming few weeks as managers finalise their squads before the window closes at 11pm on August 31.

Manchester City are ready to cough up a whopping £50m on Everton defender John Stones and a further £40m is about to go on Leroy Sane.

Everton themselves are still to get busy in the transfer market but the suggestions are they will invest at least £50m strengthening Ronald Koeman's squad.

Hull and Sunderland have yet to spend anything on new players, but that situation is expected to change with new managers at the helm.
