Premier League clubs shattered the single-window spending record on deadline day, driving total transfer fees past £3.1 billion ($4.2 billion).

Manchester City led the late spree by securing Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez for a British record-equalling £125 million fee to reunite him with manager Enzo Maresca.

City also strengthened their attack by signing Everton forward Iliman Ndiaye for £65 million, while Chelsea’s attempt to replace Fernandez collapsed when Monaco pulled out of a deal for Lamine Camara.
