The story of the Premier League is all about money. Here's what every team did with their riches.
The Premier League is back, and money is the story. The league's clubs are on track to break the total summer transfer spend record, just one year after cracking the £1 billion mark for the first time. This summer transfer window has already been wild, with some clubs making record signings. Manchester City has captured the two most expensive defenders in history, while the transfer of Romelu Lukaku was a record fee for a move between two English teams.
In our Premier League season preview, we recap the transfers of every team and make predictions about where they might finish this season. A new season brings optimism for everyone -- even fans of teams that are favorites to get relegated. And the EPL's big TV contracts mean that everyone has money, and every fan has opinions about more players their teams should go sign before the window closes.
This Premier League preview also features stories on how the £8 billion TV contract has affected the competition, how to spend Paul Pogba's massive wages and profiles of new players like Alvaro Morata, Mohamed Salah and Benjamin Mendy.
The new EPL season gets underway on Friday, August 11, when Arsenal takes on Leicester City, leading into a full weekend schedule. Here is everything you need to know about the new Premier League campaign before the season gets started.
