The Premier League has seen six of its clubs break their transfer records this summer in a blockbuster window of spending. Manchester United, West Ham and Swansea City all hit new highs with big-money deals this week, while Bournemouth, Crystal Palace, Leicester City and Watford have all splashed the cash, too.

The new Premier League television deal - worth £5.136billion - has allowed clubs to step up a tier in their spending with transfer fees higher than ever before.

West Ham are one club to have broken their own record, signing Andre Ayew for £20.5m.
