A WHOPPING £400million was spent by Premier League clubs in a major January transfer window.
But it was Crystal Palace who were the surprise top spenders as they completed a club-record £48million deadline day move for Wolves striker Jorgen Strand Larsen — while also keeping hold of Jean-Philippe Mateta.
The FA Cup holders had already smashed their record in January after spending £35m on Tottenham winger Brennan Johnson.
And Palace also bolstered their front line with a loan move for Aston Villa’s Evan Guessand for a total spend of £83m.
But there was no sign of a new defender despite selling captain Marc Guehi to Man City for £20m.
Palace’s spending came just ahead of City’s, who also splashed £62.5m on Bournemouth forward Antoine Semenyo for a total of £82.5m

But among the other established ‘Big Six’ clubs, there was little sign of life.
Tottenham were the most active with a £35m deal for Atletico Madrid midfielder Conor Gallagher, as well as a £13m move for Santos left-back Souza.
Even so, Spurs’ business was blasted a “disgrace” by club captain Cristian Romero after they were left short on senior stars for Sunday’s 2-2 draw against City.
Elsewhere, Arsenal, Chelsea and Man United didn’t make a single senior signing between them.
And Liverpool also failed to bring anyone in now — although they did strike a £60m deal to sign Rennes centre-back Jeremy Jacquet for the summer.
In total, Prem clubs spent a massive £404m on new signings — up £9m from 2025’s winter spend which was driven by a mini Man City rebuild.
Indeed, it’s the third-highest total spent during a January window in the past decade.
In 2018, a huge £465m was dropped by teams in the top flight.
But it’s all just a drop in the water compared to the winter of 2023, when a mind-shattering £815m was spent — mainly by Chelsea on stars like £105m Enzo Fernandez.
