The three promoted teams all splashed some of their Premier League cash to try to improve their chances of staying up.

Ipswich and Southampton have both spent more than £100m, while Leicester paid out more than £75m.

Ipswich spent £109m on 10 players - seven of whom are from Premier League clubs including Chelsea's Omari Hutchinson, who joined for £20m after a successful loan.

Southampton's signings, which included the deadline-day arrival of Ramsdale, were from a wider variety of divisions.

Leicester, meanwhile, recruited exclusively from top divisions - with four of their seven signings from the Premier League and one from each of the Italian, Portuguese and Belgian leagues.
