Arsenal
Player: Nicolas Pepe (from Lille)
Fee: £72m
Previous record: Pierre Emerick Aubameyang, £55m, January 2018

Aston Villa
Player: Wesley (from Club Brugge)
Fee: £22m
Previous record: Darren Bent, £18m, January 2011

Brighton & Hove Albion
Player(s): Neil Maupay (from Brentford) and Adam Webster (from Bristol City)
Fee: £20m
Previous record: Alireza Jahanbakhsh, £17m, July 2018
The lower tabled side who just about consolidated their place in the Premier League last Summer, broke their club record twice.

Leicester City
Player: Youri Tielemans (from Monaco)
Fee: £40.5m
Previous record: Islam Slimani, £30m, August 2016
Leicester after having an impressive season last term broke transfer records in successive two weeks. They acquired Ayoze Perez from Newcastle over a £30m fee but later made a deal permanent for their last year's loanee showstopper, Tielemens from Monaco for just £40.5m.

Manchester City
Player: Rodri (from Atletico Madrid)
Fee: £63m
Previous record: Riyad Mahrez, £60m, July 2018
The defending champions since last Summer were eager to land a supporting hand to Fernandinho in the middle of the pitch and this term finally got their preferred man.

Newcastle United
Player: Joelinton (from Hoffenheim)
Fee: £40m
Previous record: Miguel Almiron, £20m, January 2019
Newcastle had to wait to break their transfer record exactly 14 years before they signed Miguel Almiron in January. But they did not have to wait too long for it to be broken again, with the Magpies shelling out £40m on Joelinton, who will lead the attack of Steve Bruce's side.

Sheffield United
Player: Oli McBurnie (from Swansea City)
Fee: £17.5m
Previous record: Lys Mousset, £10m, July 2019
Another promoted team too did not hesitate to shell out money to grab their potential targets. Sheffield broke their bank four times this Summer. The first signing was of Luke Freeman who joined for £4m followed by Callum Robinson signing for £8m. Lys Mousset's arrival from Bournemouth then took the record to £10m, but Oli McBurnie finishes the window as Sheffield United's most expensive player.

Tottenham Hotspur
Player: Tanguy Ndombele (from Lyon)
Fee: £55m
Previous record: Davinson Sanchez, £42m, August 2017

Player: Ismaila Sarr (from Rennes)
Fee: £30m
Previous record: Andre Gray, £18.5m, August 2017
