TRANSFER WINDOW RATED: Arsenal and Manchester City top of the class but Leicester set to struggle

Manchester City's £51m deal for Erling Haaland was one of the best buys of the summer - but not every team had a successful window

Premier League clubs spent well over £2billion during the transfer window, but it’s fair to say some enjoyed the summer more than others.

The likes of Manchester United and Chelsea contributed nearly half-a-billion of that total, while Nottingham Forest went for quantity by signing an incredible 21 players.

But not everyone enjoyed pre-season, with Leicester making only one major signing while frugal Bournemouth could also be set to struggle following the departure of boss Scott Parker. 

With that in mind, Sportsmail has rated every single Premier League team’s transfer business during an eventful window.

Arsenal supporters were surprisingly left fuming with their lack of deadline day deals, failing in a bid to land midfielder Douglas Luiz from Aston Villa. But five wins from five with Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko already clicking shows that the summer has been a very good one at the Emirates Stadium.

Window verdict: A-

Arsenal have quickly got up to speed with Gabriel Jesus in their attack following five wins
