    remier League: Transfer spend hits £360m in first two months Premier League transfer spending this summer has risen by £60m from the same point last year. The increase, to £360m from £300m in July 2013, means this transfer window is likely to surpass the record levels of expenditure set last year, according to Deloitte's Sports Business Group. "This summer transfer window has so far seen a higher level of spending than in any previous summer window," said Deloitte's consultant Alex Thorpe. "It may well be a new record summer." The transfer window, which officially begins at midnight on the final day of the season, has now been open for two months. It closes on 1 September. This year's outlay so far also dwarfs the figures from other previous years. In 2012, spending stood at £190m at this point, while in 2012, it was £150m. Last year Premier League clubs went on to spend £630m over the summer transfer window as a whole, the highest-ever total. That figure includes the transfer deadline day signings of Marouane Fellaini to Manchester United for £27.5m and Mesut Ozil to Arsenal from Real Madrid for £42.4m.

Chelsea are the biggest spenders, having splashed a total of £82m on the signings of Cesc Fabregas, Diego Costa and Filipe Luis. New boys Burnley have been the busiest Premier League side, making seven signings so far, but the majority of those have been free transfers. Premier League clubs have been bolstered by the record television deal with BT and BSkyB between 2013-14 and 2015-16, worth a total of £3.018bn. "One of the main drivers of Premier League spending continues to be the increased resources clubs now have as a result of improved broadcast deals," said Thorpe. "Last season the average Premier League club received around £25m more in central broadcast distributions than they did in 2012/13, which helped fuel the record transfer window last summer." The top clubs are set to receive even more money when BT's £897m deal to broadcast Champions League games takes effect from 2015.
