LIVERPOOL may have splashed the most cash by dropping more than £250million on summer signings.
But it is Arsenal who have the highest net spend of the transfer window so far.

And the situation at Old Trafford is rather bleak indeed.
Clubs now have less than four weeks to get their business done and dusted for the new season.
The transfer window closes for Premier League sides at 7pm on Monday September 1.
However, Liverpool wasted no time in getting the bulk of their business done, splashing out £252.2m.
The flagship arrival was the £116m record signing of Florian Wirtz.
But Hugo Ekitike, Milos Kerkez and Jeremie Frimpong all moved to Anfield in big-money moves.
However, the sales of Luis Diaz, Jarell Quansah, Caoimhin Kelleher, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Nat Phillips mean Liverpool’s net spend is £137.7m.
But it is Arsenal who boast the highest net spend.

Martin Zubimendi, Noni Madueke and now Viktor Gyokeres have all joined the Gunners this summer, with the total spend standing at £192.6m.
However, they have only made £6.9m in sales by getting rid of Nuno Tavares and Marquinhos, making their net spend a whopping £185.7m according to Transfermarkt figures.
Chelsea’s transfer policy has continued with more than £240m spent on eight new signings – including Joao Pedro, Jamie Gittens, Jorrel Hato and Liam Delap.
Manchester City (£153.4m), United (£131.5m) and Tottenham (£127.9m) are the next three biggest spenders so far.
And the Red Devils’ figure could rise if and when they land a new striker – with alternatives to Benjamin Sesko lined up.
Incredibly, though, United have not raised a single pound in player sales yet this summer.
But Ruben Amorim’s side added around £20m in sell-on clauses after transfers for their former stars Anthony Elanga, Alvaro Carreras and Maxi Oyedele.
Crystal Palace and Fulham are the only other clubs yet to receive a transfer fee this summer – spending just £2m and £400,000 respectively.
Aston Villa have spent £6m and received £6m to balance the books.
While the promoted teams are doing all they can to avoid going back down to the Championship.
Sunderland have spent £121.6m and made £36.5m – most of that by selling Jobe Bellingham.
Leeds are down £67m after dropping £73.5m on seven new players while Burnley’s ten signings have partly been funded by selling James Trafford back to City for £31m.
Six clubs have made a profit so far in this window – Brighton, Wolves, Nottingham Forest, West Ham, Brentford and Bournemouth.
The Cherries are in the black by the clearest margin, making a net gain of £70.2m thanks largely to the sales of Dean Huijsen to Real Madrid for £50m and Kerkez’s £40m switch to Liverpool.
