: Premier League clubs smashed their previous record spend in a single transfer window by splashing over £2 billion on new talent ahead of Friday's deadline.England's top-flight clubs were again able to flex their financial muscle over their European rivals.
But Ruben Neves' move from Wolves to Al-Hilal at 26 was a warning of what the future may hold, particularly for the flow of talent the Premier League has become accustomed to poaching from other European leagues. The Ecuador international penned an eight-year contract at Stamford Bridge, just one of a number of long-term deals dished out to potential stars by the club's American owners.
The vast majority of that investment has been on players yet to reach their peak years. The oldest of their 11 recruits this window is 25.Chelsea ended 12th in the Premier League last season - their lowest finish since 1994. James Milner, Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain were also allowed to leave for free after a disappointing season in which Liverpool failed to qualify for the Champions League for the first time in seven years.
