Angel Di Maria (right) joined Manchester United from Real Madrid last summer for a British record fee of £59.7 million.

In last year’s summer transfer window, almost every club in the English Premier League broke their transfer record boosted by cash from TV rights.

England left-back Luke Shaw became the most expensive teenage footballer in history after joining Manchester United from Southampton on a four-year deal worth £30 million.

This figure surpasses the £25.6m fee United paid Everton for Wayne Rooney in 2004.

Hull City paid a club record fee of £8m for defender Jake Livermore from Tottenham and Chile international Alexis Sanchez signed for Arsenal from Barcelona for a fee in the region of £35m.

Liverpool sold Luis Suarez to Barcelona on a five-year contract for a fee of about £75m, the Uruguayan becoming the third most expensive player in football history.

Leicester City signed Brighton striker Leonardo Ulloa, the 27-year-old Argentine, for £8m and West Brom landed Nigeria international Brown Ideye from Dynamo Kiev, also for a club record fee of £8m.

Romelu Lukaku secured a permanent move to Everton after a loan period. The Toffees shattered their club transfer record when they forked out £28 million to sign the Belgium striker from Chelsea.

Argentine winger Angel di Maria was confirmed as a Manchester United player for a £59.7m – a British record transfer move from Real Madrid.
