Premier League summer transfer window spending odds
Under £2bn – 4/7
Over £2bn – 11/8
SportsLens Head of News Lee Astley said: “Arsenal’s have been this summer’s big spenders and have got their business done early doors by signing Declan Rice, Kai Havertz and Jurrian Timber, so now it’s up to their rivals to respond. Manchester City and Chelsea have been focused on shifting deadwood but we still expect them to be busy in the market in the lead up to the new season kicking off.
“Whether the Premier League hits the £2bn mark remains to be seen but the odds suggest it is more likely than ever to happen this summer. As the commercial and broadcasting value of the league has increased, so too has the value of its teams. Spending has been on a rapid upward trajectory over the past decade, more than doubling since 2013.”
