Liverpool and Everton's summer transfer window net spend compared to their Premier League rivals

Liverpool and Everton have endured challenging periods in the summer transfer window - but will be relieveed to be focusing on football now the trading period has come to a close.

Following on from the overwhelmingly successful reign of Jurgen Klopp was never going to be easy but Arne Slot was keen to add to the squad he inherited from his predecessor. However, he also routinely stressed the calibre of player he found at Anfield would be hard to improve on as the summer transfer window wore on. Speaking midway through last month, the former Feyenoord head coach defended the lack of transfer activity when he revealed a move for Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi had failed.

However, a patient approach finally paid off in the final week of the window when the Reds completed moves for Italy winger Federico Chiesa and Valencia goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili. The latter has immediately returned to his former club and will remain with the La Liga outfit for the remainder of the season - but Chiesa is expected to challenge for a regular place in an forward lineup already boasting a wealth of attacking talent.

For Everton, financial restrictions provided a frustrating challenge as they tried to add to Sean Dyche’s squad and help the club build on what felt like a more positive end to last season. Money has been spent on the likes of Jake O’Brien, Iliman Ndiaye and Tim Iroegbunum - but that has been offset by the sales of Amadou Onana, Ben Godfrey and Lewis Dobbin. Three loan additions and a free transfer signing of experienced goalkeeper Asmir Begovic have padded out the Toffees squad.

But after a challenging summer, how much have Everton and Liverpool actually spent this summer and how does it compare to their top flight rivals? We take a look at the figures with the help of TransferMarkt.
