Premier League and PSR transfer deals: Clubs spend £185.5m by deadline to comply

Must read

Villa and Everton have done business with each other, Lewis Dobbin moving to Villa Park and Tim Iroegbunam joining the Toffees, each for reported fees of about £9m.

Villa have also sold Omari Kellyman to Chelsea for £19m two years after signing him from Derby for £600,000. The midfielder made six appearances for Villa.

Meanwhile, Chelsea defender Ian Maatsen, who spent the second half of last season on loan at Borussia Dortmund, has moved to Villa for £35m.

Douglas Luiz’s players-plus-cash transfer from Villa to Juventus went through on Sunday for £42.35m.

English winger Samuel Iling-Junior, 20, and Argentine midfielder Enzo Barrenechea, 23, moved in the opposite direction for about £18.5m.

Leicester – who are already facing one charge for an alleged PSR breach – were put under a transfer embargo by the English Football League (EFL) in March but that ended once they became a Premier League club, following the top flight’s annual general meeting (AGM) this month.

Chelsea have agreed a £30m deal for Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, with the midfielder representing Leicester’s best sellable asset, given he came through the club’s academy and will generate pure profit.

The Blues sold 20-year-old forward Omari Hutchinson to newly promoted Ipswich Town for £20m.

Newcastle were busy too, selling winger Yankuba Minteh to Brighton for £30m and midfielder Elliot Anderson to Nottingham Forest for a reported £35m, while signing defender Lewis Hall from Chelsea for £28m.
