We asked you to rate every Premier League club’s summer transfer window – and here are the results!
Arsenal
Arsenal’s spending reached £257m in an unprecedented summer for the club, ending with an eighth signing in defender Piero Hincapie and a host of outgoings on a busy Deadline Day, to earn praise from Sky Sports readers.
Hincapie, who completed a season-long loan deal with an option to buy for £45m on Deadline Day, joins Kepa Arrizabalaga, Martin Zubimendi, Christian Norgaard, Noni Madueke, Cristhian Mosquera, Viktor Gyokeres and Eberechi Eze in north London.
Nick Wright breaks down the 2025 summer transfer window and how Liverpool and Chelsea smashed previous records in this week’s edition of Between The Lines.
Aston Villa
Aston Villa completed the Deadline Day signings of Jadon Sancho, Harvey Elliott and Victor Lindelof to provide Unai Emery with some much-needed reinforcements, but it wasn’t enough to satisfy our readers!
Bournemouth
Bournemouth earned £202.5m by selling defenders Dean Huijsen, Illia Zabarnyi and Milos Kerkez plus forward Dango Ouattara. The Cherries brought in defensive reinforcements on Deadline Day in Veljko Milosavljevic and Alex Jimenez, taking their spending to £136.7m to earn a positive rating.
Brentford
Look away now! Brentford lost captain Christian Norgaard and forwards Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa, plus their head coach Thomas Frank, in a summer to forget.
Brighton
Brighton had a quiet window by their standards which is reflected in the verdict of the Sky Sports readers. Perhaps their best piece of business was holding onto Carlos Baleba, who Manchester United were interested in.
Burnley
The Premier League newcomers Burnley forked out almost £100m on 14 new signings to boost their survival hopes, spending a combined £43m on Chelsea duo Lesley Ugochukwu and Armando Broja. Will it pay off?
Chelsea
Todd Boehly delivered another bumper transfer window for Chelsea, spending £296.5m but recouping £314.4m, reinforcing their reputation of being one of the best at selling players.
Crystal Palace
This vote may continue to change in the coming hours, teetering between a poor or average window after Marc Guehi’s move to Liverpool fell through late on Deadline Day. There will be some Crystal Palace fans who are delighted that he stayed and others who felt the club should have cashed in.
Everton
David Moyes spent most of the summer desperate for signings and the additions of Jack Grealish and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall have already started paying off in the Premier League, with over 70 per cent of readers approving their business, the most overwhelming result of any club.
Fulham
Fulham left it late to sign striker Kevin in a club-record deal of £34.6m from Shakhtar Donetsk and force through a loan move for Bayern Munich forward Jonah Kusi-Asare, but it was still an underwhelming summer for Marco Silva’s side.
Leeds
Leeds spent over £100m on the likes of Jaka Bijol, Anton Stach, Lucas Perri, Noah Okafor and James Justin, but barely brought in a penny as they look to survive in the Premier League. It’s left Sky Sports readers largely undecided on whether their window was just average or poor.
Liverpool
Liverpool’s record-breaking £446m window has earned them the only “perfect” rating – and it would have been even better had Marc Guehi’s transfer gone through!
The champions completed the three biggest transfers of the summer – Alexander Isak for a record £125m, Florian Wirtz for £116.5m and Hugo Ekitike for £79m.
After Liverpool confirmeded the signing of Alexander Isak for £125m, Sky Sports News discussed how the Reds funded a record-breaking summer.
Man City
Man City’s rebuild continued this summer as club legends Kevin De Bruyne, Kyle Walker and Ederson all departed with £185m spent on the next generation in Rayan Ait Nouri, Tijjani Reijnders, James Trafford and Gianluigi Donnarumma. However, our readers aren’t too impressed.
Man Utd
Big-name signings in Bryan Mbeumo, Matheus Cunha and Benjamin Sesko helped take Man Utd’s spending to £232.4m while they were also able to offload Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho, Alejandro Garnacho, Rasmus Hojlund and Antony.
However, without midfield reinforcements, over 40 per cent of readers believe their window is just average, although 35 per cent think it has been positive.
Newcastle
Newcastle endured a testing summer, but finished by selling Alexander Isak for a British record fee after spending a club-record £69m on striker Nick Woltemade and then landing Yoane Wissa in the final 30 seconds of Deadline Day.
Added to the signings of Anthony Elanga, Malick Thiaw and Jacob Ramsey, Eddie Howe’s side have produced a positive result.
Nottingham Forest
Relationships were strained at Forest this summer before the club ramped up their transfer business in the final days of the window, signing six players in two weeks to seal the approval of Sky Sports readers.
Sunderland
Sunderland aren’t just the top performers of the promoted clubs in the transfer window, they’re one of the league’s best!
They’ve given themselves every chance of survival by shelling out £183.4m on FIFTEEN signings, with the pick of the bunch, Granit Xhaka, already performing well.
Tottenham
Tottenham’s transfer window verdict is split between average and very good after landing Xavi Simons, but only after they lost out to rivals Arsenal for Eberechi Eze.
With a Champions League campaign to come, have they done enough in the market?
West Ham
West Ham sold Mohammed Kudus to Tottenham for £55m and have attempted to replace him with Southampton’s Mateus Fernandes in what has otherwise been a quiet window – and one rated as average.
Wolves
Wolves are the fourth Premier League club to receive the lowest score after seeing their best players Matheus Cunha and Rayan Ait Nouri depart. However, it could have been worse, having managed to keep striker Jorgen Strand Larsen amid interest from Newcastle.

Bill Belichick’s UNC misses bowl eligibility after trick play by Duke
When Bill Belichick was introduced as UNC head coach 11 long months ago, he revealed, joked or lied that his first words as a child were "Beat Duke."His program fell short of that goal on Saturday, and the result is a disappointing season will officially end next weekend. The Tar Heels lost to Duke 32-25, pushing their record down to 4-7 and leaving them unable to reach bowl eligibility next week against NC State.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementIt wasn't just any loss to their biggest rivals either. At home, UNC had come back from down 24-10 to take a 25-24 lead early in the fourth quarter. That remained the score until the final three minutes, when the Blue Devils lined up for a go-ahead field goal that would have given the Tar Heels the ball back with more than two minutes left and a […]
Washington Spirit vs. Gotham FC, NWSL Championship: Trinity Rodman’s status hangs over title match
Two star-studded teams in the Washington Spirit and Gotham FC will meet in San Jose for the NWSL Championship, a competitive match likely in store as each side chases their second league title, but the big question looms -- will Trinity Rodman play?The pair took contrasting roads to the NWSL Championship, the No. 2 seed Spirit advancing as the favorites in their matchups while Gotham played spoiler as the No. 8 seed, eliminating the runaway NWSL Shield winners in the Kansas City Current and last year's champions Orlando Pride.

Bills RB Ty Johnson fined $10,777 for pelvic-thrust TD celebration in win over Bucs
The NFL has fined Buffalo Bills running back Ty Johnson $10,777 for "obscene gestures" as part of a crackdown on unsportsmanlike conduct. Johnson did a thrust-heavy celebration after scoring a go-ahead touchdown in the Bills' win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 11.With less than a minute left in the first half, Johnson broke away on third-and-5 to sprint 52 yards for the touchdown. To celebrate, Johnson grabbed his leg, seemingly pretending to have sustained an injury (à la the Kansas City Current's Lo'eau LaBonta), and fell before grinding his pelvis against the ground twice.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementBuffalo went on to win the game, 44-32, behind a six-touchdown night from quarterback Josh Allen.The fine comes a couple of weeks after Carolina Panthers running back Rico Dowdle was fined $14,491 for a similar celebration. Dowdle did "two pumps" (i.e., thrusted his pelvis twice) […]
Kyle Shanahan says Brandon Aiyuk’s guarantees were voided in July: ‘It takes a lot to get a contract voided’
The news that Brandon Aiyuk has likely played his last game for the San Francisco 49ers was a surprise on Friday, but the situation has apparently been simmering for months.Speaking to reporters on Saturday, Niners head coach Kyle Shanahan declined to say what specifically led to a falling out between team and player — there was a report of frustrations over Aiyuk failing to participate in team meetings and other activities — while claiming the contract battle was out of his hands:"I'm not going to get into the specifics of that. There were a number of things from July that, to me, is more of the business side, dealing with lawyers and stuff, and contracts. Stuff that is really not my area of expertise."Aiyuk has spent all season on the physically unable to perform list with a knee injury, which […]
