How Arsenal staggering £975m squad value compares with Chelsea, Spurs and Premier League rivals

It's been nearly a month since the Premier League transfer window slammed shut and the final free agent and overseas deals have been pushed over the line.

It was another busy summer of activity in the top flight as clubs worked to meet Profit and Sustainability Rules while recruiting stars in a bid to challenge Champions Manchester City this season.

Arsenal splurged on Mikel Merino and Riccardo Calafiori while Tottenham Hotspur poached rivals AFC Bournemouth for striker Dominic Solanke and there was a merry-go-round of activity over at Stamford Bridge after Enzo Maresca arrived at Chelsea.
