Revealed: The numbers from a record-breaking summer transfer window as men's and women's recruitment reaches new heights

Teams across the world have been strengthening their squads with comings and goings over the summer window, with more than 12,000 deals being orchestrated in men's and women's football, a record high. There were around 11,000 international transfers in the men's game, while over 1,125 - a 31.8 per cent increase on last year - players were traded in the women's game.

WHAT HAPPENED?

It was also the second-highest spending window in history, with men's teams spending a whopping £5 billion (6.46bn) in total. Women's teams invested a collective £5 million ($6.8m), which is more than twice the sum spent in the same period last year.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Furthermore, Arsenal paid a large fee to bring Daphne van Domselaar in from Villa.

DID YOU KNOW?

After a summer of comings and goings, teams will find out over the coming months if they have made the correct decisions in the transfer market. Otherwise, they will have to wait until January before they can further strengthen their squads.
