Alexander Isak's historic £125 million transfer from Newcastle United to Liverpool has capped an extraordinary summer of spending in the English Premier League.

This transaction, alongside other significant deals like Newcastle's acquisition of Brentford's Yoane Wissa for £55 million, pushed the league's cumulative summer spend past the £3 billion mark, a first in history.

Despite the league's stringent Profit and Sustainability Rules, spending continues to soar, fueled by international TV revenue, solidifying the Premier League's financial supremacy over other European leagues.
