Best (and worst) buyers and sellers of the transfer window revealed
· Sky-Transfer
Premier League spending totalled £3.4bn in a record-breaking summer transfer window - but how well did your club actually buy and sell?
Their best sale was that of Savio, whose £85m move to Spurs came in £44.7m above his adjusted value, while James Trafford's £40m move to Leeds was £11.2m above value.
Brentford effectively broke even on their departures, finishing just £0.03m above the collective adjusted value of the players they sold.
Chelsea rank third, with their departure score just £0.5m below value overall.
Their best sale was that of Liam Delap, who joined Nottingham Forest for £17.8m more than his adjusted value at £50m, while the £125m sale of Enzo Fernandez to Manchester City on Deadline Day also came in at £9.9m above value.
On the flipside, our analysis suggests Chelsea sold defenders Trevoh Chalobah and Marc Cucurella for £15.2m and £17.2m less than their respective adjusted values, ensuring that the club's departure efficiency score was not as high as it might have been.
Our data for sales is grim reading for Liverpool, who rank as the worst sellers of the summer, with their fees received coming in at £95.9m below the collective value of the departing players.
This is largely because of losing Ibrahima Konate, a player with an adjusted transfer value of £51.8m, on a free transfer, along with Andrew Robertson, who had an adjusted value of £8.1m.
But the fees received for Mohamed Salah and Curtis Jones also fell well below their values, according to our analysis.
Spurs rank as second-worst sellers, having generated £62.0m less in fees than the collective value of the players sold, with Cristian Romero, Luka Vuskovic and Djed Spence let go for £23.5m, £19.0m and £16.0m below market value respectively.
And what about overall?
When combining signing efficiency and departure efficiency, Chelsea come out as the most efficient club of the summer in terms of finding and generating value in their purchases and sales.
Their window ended in frustration as a deal to sign Lamine Camara collapsed on Deadline Day, but their overall efficiency score of £37.7m puts them ahead of Aston Villa on £27.1m and Crystal Palace on £23.1m.
At the other end of the scale, Liverpool rank as the least efficient side of the transfer window, with an efficiency score of -£136.6m putting them below Spurs on -£81.3m and Newcastle on -£70.8m.
