Chelsea is the big spender, but Manchester United, Newcastle are real winners

The English Premier League resumes this weekend after last week’s FA Cup action, with former champion Chelsea closing the transfer window with a bang.

The London club spent a staggering £323 million in the past month to bring in eight players, but Manchester United and Newcastle are the real winners after booking their spots in the League Cup final later this month.

Chelsea spent more money in January than the entire Premier League did during the same period last year. It also ‘created history’ as this was the first time one club had spent more money than the other four major leagues – Germany, Italy, Spain and France – combined.
