The Premier League outspent the rest of Europe this summer with expenditure in excess of £610 million.Let's take a look at top 3 spenders of EPL.
Can Mourinho mould his bloated, attacking midfield-heavy squad into one that can challenge for the Premier League title once more?
Manchester City have been amongst the biggest spenders in the Premier League, but they were pipped to that particular title this time around. However, They crashed through the £100 million barrier, with Brazilian midfielder Fernandinho at £35 million, Ex Sevilla teammates Alvaro Negredo and Jesus Navas , Floreintina Stevan Jovetic and Martin Demichelis, a late signing off Atletico Madrid, will provide depth in defence.
New manager Manuel Pellegrini will be expected to take his new charges and go one better than Roberto Mancini managed last year when the league was won by rivals Manchester United.
They will have a huge task on their hands to manage that given the competition, but the likes of Roberto Soldado at £26 million and Erik Lamela at £27 million will give them a big opportunity to do so.
Of course, the world-record sale of Gareth Bale gave them the funds to do such business—but has it also robbed them of their most potent weapon?
Chelsea - £69 m
Chelsea have improved his squad to the tune of nearly £70 million.
Andre Schurrle was the big signing at just under £20 million for most of the summer, but the capture of Willian for a whopping £33 million from under the noses of Spurs and Liverpool ends up accounting for almost half of the Stamford Bridge club's total outlay.

Tottenham Hotspur - £107 m
Despite comfortably surpassing the £100 million mark, Spurs have actually barely spent anything at all.
Eight senior departures have been offset by seven signings, with an eclectic mix of attackers expected to really push Andre Villas-Boas' men toward the top four this season. They will have a huge task on their hands to manage that given the competition, but the likes of Roberto Soldado at £26 million and Erik Lamela at £27 million will give them a big opportunity to do so.
