13 Premier League clubs have now broken their transfer records during this window

SPENDING BY PREMIER LEAGUE clubs has broken through the €1.17 billion barrier in this window for the first time on what has been a busy deadline day.

Thirteen top-flight clubs have now broken their own transfer records this summer with Jeff Hendrick’s move to Burnley the latest big-money deal to be done today.

Chelsea agreed terms with Paris Saint Germain to re-sign Brazil defender David Luiz , while Manchester City allowed four players to leave on season-long loan deals as the transfer deadline approached across Europe.

Luiz was sold by Chelsea to French side PSG for a world record fee for a defender when he joined the French club for €58 million in 2014.

But the 29-year-old centre-back was in danger of losing his place to compatriot Marquinhos this season and, with new Chelsea manager Antonio Conte desperate for defensive reinforcements, the Premier League club have agreed to bring him back to Stamford Bridge for a reported €37 million.

Chelsea had already landed Fiorentina’s former Bolton left-back Marcos Alonso for a reported €27 million earlier in the day.

The Blues also allowed Juan Cuadrado to rejoin Italian champions Juventus on a three-year loan for an annual fee of five million euros, with the option for the deal to be made permanent for €25 million.

The 28-year-old winger spent last season on loan with the Turin side.

At Eastlands, a host of players were saying their goodbyes as City boss Pep Guardiola wielded the axe.

England goalkeeper Joe Hart completed his move to Italian side Torino, French midfielder Samir Nasri joined Europa League champions Sevilla, Wilfried Bony pitched up at City’s Premier League rivals Stoke City and French centre-back Eliaquim Mangala signed for Valencia.

Hart and Nasri are former City stalwarts, while Ivory Coast striker Bony arrived from Swansea City last year at a cost of €30 million.

Mangala, 25, endured a miserable two-year spell with City following his €37 million move from Porto and many of his 64 appearances were marred by costly errors.

Sunderland signed 22-year-old Gabon midfielder Didier Ndong from French side Lorient for a confirmed club-record fee of €16 million.

Tottenham signed France Under-21 winger Georges-Kevin Nkoudou from Marseille on a five-year contract for around €12.9 million and let Clinton Njie move in the opposite direction on a season-long loan.

Burnley broke their transfer record to sign Derby midfielder Jeff Hendrick for a reported €12 million.

Mario Balotelli, Moussa Sissoko and Jack Wilshere were among the other players reportedly set for pastures new.

Balotelli, Liverpool’s wayward Italian striker, was on the verge of joining French club Nice on a season-long loan, having spent last season on loan at former club AC Milan.

Newcastle United midfielder Sissoko, 27, was given permission to leave France’s Clairefontaine training base in order to complete a transfer, with Tottenham and Everton in the hunt.

Arsenal midfielder Wilshere was pictured arriving at Bournemouth, who have agreed to pay a €2.3 million loan fee as well as his £80,000-per-week wages, after the injury-plagued 24-year-old slipped down the pecking order at the Emirates Stadium.

Champions Leicester City were closing in on a deal for Sporting Lisbon striker Islam Slimani, who was allowed to leave Algeria’s training camp in Algiers to undergo a medical.

Middlesbrough signed Adama Traore from Aston Villa, Serge Gnabry swapped Arsenal for Werder Bremen and Liverpool confirmed the sale of Luis Alberto to Lazio.
