DECLAN RICE and Moises Caicedo form a mega-money midfield in the Premier League's most expensive XI from this summer's transfer window.

England's top-flight clubs spent a whopping £2.44billion on new players - with Chelsea once again splashing the most.

Todd Boehly stumped up a staggering £434million to bring in 12 new first-team stars.

A quarter of that went on Caicedo alone, with the Blues paying Brighton a new British transfer record fee of £115m including add-ons for the Ecuadorian midfielder.

That sees him walk into the midfielder, where he partners Arsenal's new £105m man Declan Rice.

Mason Mount (£60m) and Dominik Szoboszlai (£60m) join forces just in front - despite signing for rivals Manchester United and Liverpool this summer.

In attack, Rasmus Hojlund leads the line after signing for the Red Devils in a £72m transfer.

He is supported by Kai Havertz (£65m) and Christopher Nkunku (£56m) in an all-star attack.

At the other end of the field, new United goalkeeper Andre Onana's £47.2m move to Old Trafford sees him take the gloves.

The Cameroonian is shielded by a back three of Jurrien Timber of Arsenal (£39m), Manchester City's £77m man Josko Gvardiol and new Tottenham defender Micky van de Ven, who cost up to £43m.

It means the likes of Tino Livramento (£35m) and Axel Disasi (£38m) provide back-up on the bench.

And Jeremy Doku (£55.5m), Sandro Tonali (£55m), Romeo Lavia (£58m), Matheus Nunes (£53m) and Moussa Diaby (£52m) all miss out, too.

Brennan Johnson (£50m), Cole Palmer (£42.5m), James Maddison (£45m) and Alexis Mac Allister (£40m) were among the other big-money movers before the transfer window slammed shut.

Overseas, Jude Bellingham's £115m switch from Borussia Dortmund to Real Madrid was the biggest deal, closely followed by Harry Kane leaving Tottenham to sign for Bayern Munich in a £104m move.

Neymar was the top Saudi move as Al-Hilal stumped up £78m for the Brazilian from PSG - although the world record could be shattered if Liverpool relent and sell Mo Salah.

Randal Kolo Muani joined PSG for £77.2m while Lucas Hernandez (£45m) and Manuel Ugarte (£51.5m) also headed to the Parc des Princes as Kim Min-jae headed to Bayern Munich for £43.5m.

Lastly, Malcom (£51m), Otavio (£51m), Ruben Neves (£47m) and Alexandar Mitrovic (£45m) all went to the Saudi Pro League.
