Big Signings So Far: Grealish, Sancho, Varane & White

*Man City

Manchester City, who finished 12 points clear at the top last season, have shown they mean business again by spending £100m on Aston Villa captain and midfielder Jack Grealish.

The fee surpasses the £89m Manchester United paid to re-sign midfielder Paul Pogba from Juventus in 2016.

In addition, City have indicated an interest in Tottenham striker Harry Kane as they aim to win the league for the fourth time in five seasons under Pep Guardiola.

With the summer transfer window deadline 23:00 BST on 31 August, clubs still have time to strengthen squads once the season has started.

*Man Utd

Manchester United have spent £107m on England winger Jadon Sancho and France 2018 World Cup winning defender Raphael Varane.

*Chelsea

Chelsea completed the signing of former Manchester United striker Romelu Lukaku from Inter Milan for a fee in the region of £97.5m, while Arsenal have signed Brighton’s England defender Ben White for £50m as the Gunners look to improve on last season’s eighth place.

*Liverpool

Liverpool, who have Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez back in contention after long-term injuries, have added defender Ibrahima Konate from RB Leipzig for £35m.

*Aston Villa

Elsewhere, Villa have spent a combined £83m on England striker Danny Ings, Argentine midfielder Emiliano Buendia from Norwich and winger Leon Bailey from Bayer Leverkusen.

*Leicester

FA Cup winners Leicester, who beat Manchester City in the Community Shield last Saturday, have added midfielder Boubakary Soumare from Lille for a reported £17m.

*Tottenham

Tottenham have signed Argentina defender Cristian Romero from Atalanta for £42.5m.

*Aguero, Giroud, Aguero & Wijnaldum

Notable outgoings include Manchester City’s Sergio Aguero to Barcelona, Chelsea’s Olivier Giroud to AC Milan and Liverpool’s Georginio Wijnaldum to Paris St-Germain.
