Premier League spend so far by club and how Sunderland compare after £100m splurge

Sunderland supporters got a first look at one of their latest club record signing after former Strasbourg midfielder Habib Diarra produced a promising display in Saturday’s pre-season friendly win against National League North neighbours South Shields.

The signing of the four-times capped Senegal international proved to be just one of a number of impressive additions made by the Black Cats as they continue their preparations for their return to the Premier League. Within weeks of the Championship play-off final win against Sheffield United, the Black Cats completed the club record addition of loan signing Enzo Le Fee before setting a new high with the signing of Diarra.

Since then, Atletico Madrid left-back Reinildo Mandava has joined on a free transfer and midfielder Noah Sadiki and winger Chemsdine Talbi have joined from Union SG and Club Brugge respectively. The spending continued before the weekend when Brighton and Hove Albion winger Simon Adingra moved to Wearside in the reported £20 million deal six months after the Black Cats initially signalled their interest in the Ivory Coast star.

The latter of those deals is believed to have taken Sunderland’s spending above the £100 million mark and, as it stands, they are one of the biggest spenders in the Premier League during the summer transfer window - but how does their spending compare to their rivals across the top flight of the English game?
