Which club had the best summer transfer window so far?
Chelsea FC have reportedly spent a whopping £230 million this summer.
Pep Guardiola is building a defensive wall to bolster Manchester City’s back-line.
Is October 5 the Deadline Day for every league?

No transfer can take place between Premier League clubs. This buffer window will run until 5 pm on October 16, 2020.
