A look at how much Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham and their Premier League rivals overspent in the summer transfer window.

Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham all spent significantly during the summer transfer window, but who got the bets value for money?

Arsenal splashed out more than £200million in a bid to close the gap between themselves and Manchester City, while Chelsea made a late trolley dash to outspend their London rivals again as they look to put a disappointing season of last behind them. Tottenham have also spent considerably, but their books have been balanced by the sale of Harry Kane.

In any case, we have taken a look at how much each Premier League team has overspent according to transfer fees paid and the current estimated value of each player, with all figures coming from Transfermarkt. Loan fees are not counted here. Take a look below to see where the London clubs rank.
