Transfer deadline day: Premier League spending reaches £1.165bn

By Daily Sports on September 1, 2016

 Premier League clubs spent more than £155m on transfer deadline day as the summer window outlay reached a record £1.165bn.
Teams had already spent a combined £1.005bn as of 08:30 BST on Wednesday, shattering last year’s record £870m.
Thirteen top-flight teams broke their own transfer records.
The 20 clubs in the Premier League have benefited from a record £5.1bn television deal which came into effect this season.
“As has been the case for a number of years now, the increases in broadcast revenue, with the 2016-17 season being the first of the new broadcast deal cycle, is the principal driver of this spending power,” said Dan Jones, a partner at financial analyst Deloitte.
While this year’s figure of £1.165bn easily broke the record set 12 months ago, it dwarfed the £215m spent during the first window in the 2003-04 campaign.
Such financial strength owes much to the record £5.136bn domestic TV deal, which was more than £2bn larger than the previous contract from 2013 to 2016.
Ex-England winger Trevor Sinclair said: “There’s so much money in it for a reason – supply and demand.
“People demand to see the Premier League. If anyone is going to get the financial gain, surely it has to be the players – they are the ones who make it happen.” (BBC)
