Champions Leicester City have broken their transfer record twice today after breaking it earlier this summer when they signed Ahmed Musa for £16m.

The club today broke that record again as they signed Islam Slimani from Leicester City for £29.8m as they to add some even more firepower upfront to chase down both Manchester clubs in defence for their title.

Arsene Wenger has been pressured by fans to spend money on players this summer although he has spent £52m in two days the club have yet to break their record as Mesut Ozil still tops the list at £42m.

Manchester City spent £37m on Leroy Sane and paid over £47.5m for John Stones but that wasn't enough to break their transfer record this summer.

Middlesbrough have done well this window but the high profile signing of Alvaro Negredo on a loan deal means that they haven't spent that much money to go break any transfer records.

Hull City have moved very late in the transfer market not helped by the managerial situation at the club as Mike Phelan holds the reigns at the KC stadium.

Will Keane from Manchester United signed for the club yesterday as he was joined by Ryan Mason from Tottenham but the undisclosed deals fail to break Hull's record.

Its been a crazy summer in the Premier League as clubs abroad rub their hands when English teams from the top flight come sniffing round their players with the biggest prices being quoted.

Its seen at least an extra £10m added on to a players price tag as seen with the long running pursuit of Shkodran Mustafi by Arsenal.

Valencia originally wanted £25m for the German centre half but after weeks of negotiations Arsenal had to pay £35m for the player.

Chelsea have struggled to get players in with a £35m bid being rejected for  AC Milan's Alessio Romagnoli and a £40m bid being turned down for Naploi's Kalidou Koulibaly.

The Blues turned their attention to David Luiz signing him for £32m after selling him to Paris Saint-Germain for £50m two years ago as the defender returns with some 'unfinished business' to attend to.
