Chelsea have blown an incredible £1.7BILLION on players since start of Premier League – as top flight’s biggest and smallest spenders are revealed
Check out which sides have spent the most - and least - on new players since the current format's inception in 1992-93
PREMIER LEAGUE clubs have spent big this summer in a desperate bid to get their hands on the league title in 2017-18.
Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has already splashed over £200million this transfer window - mostly on his defence - to get over his first-ever trophyless season.
Jose Mourinho's new signings at Manchester United this summer on the other hand have seen him become the first manager to spend over £1BILLION in his career.
But which clubs have spent the most money in the Premier League's history?
Thanks to research from MyVoucherCodes.co.uk we can share the biggest - and smallest - spenders since the start of the 1992-93 season.
Incredibly, Chelsea top the list of big spenders by splashing a massive £1.7bn on transfers - thanks in no small part to Roman Abramovich's cash input back in 2003.
The Blues have parted with £1,715,242,236 on transfers - including this summer's £40m move for Tiemoue Bakayoko and £65m swoop for Alvaro Morata.
Fernando Torres' £50m move from Liverpool to Chelsea and Andriy Shevchenko's £30m move also added to the whopping tally, to go with Didier Drogba's mega-money move.
