We’ve taken a look at January spending in the Premier League in recent years – and it doesn’t bode well for Manchester United fans.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The January window is perhaps the most important month of the Premier League season.<\/p>\n

A chance to reinforce the squad midway through the campaign, some incredibly important signings have been made during it over the years.<\/p>\n

But which clubs tend to spend big in January, and which are more likely to hold onto their cash until the summer?<\/p>\n

To find out, we at SportsCasting<\/strong><\/em> have gone back over the last ten January windows for all 20 Premier League teams.<\/p>\n

We have then calculated the average spend for each team in January, with some interesting results.<\/p>\n

Key Data Points:<\/h4>\n
    \n
  • Chelsea have the highest average January spend since 2016 (\u00a342m).<\/li>\n
  • Manchester United have the lowest average January spend of any ‘big six’ club (\u00a315m).<\/li>\n
  • Manchester City also spend big in January, averaging \u00a334m per season.<\/li>\n
  • Aston Villa and Newcastle spend more in January than Liverpool, Arsenal, Tottenham and Man United.<\/li>\n
  • Brentford, Sunderland and Fulham spend next to nothing in January.<\/li>\n
  • January 2023 saw a record-breaking \u00a3702m total spend.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Premier League January Spending Over The Past Decade<\/h2>\n

    While not as big as the summer window in terms of spending, January still holds an important place in the Premier League season.<\/p>\n

    Over the last decade, each January has seen an average spend of \u00a3278m across the league, equating to \u00a314m per club.<\/p>\n

    Earlier this year, every club’s January transfers<\/strong><\/a> combined for a total spend of \u00a3422m.<\/p>\n

    January 2023 saw the biggest overall spend, at a whopping \u00a3702m.<\/p>\n

    Unsurprisingly, the Covid-19-affected season in 2020-21 meant that year’s January window saw the lowest spend (\u00a3101m) in the last ten years.<\/p>\n

    Below, we can see the average January spend since 2016 for each of the 20 current Premier League clubs.<\/p>\n
