Chelsea have spent £151.5million in January on deals including Mykhailo Mudryk and have spent more than clubs in Serie A, Bundesliga, Ligue 1 and LaLiga combined
Chelsea have not been shy when it comes to splashing the cash during the January transfer window.
The Blues were taken over by Todd Boehly over the summer and have wasted little time in spending big sums of money in order to bolster their first team squad for the years to come.
As well as making numerous signings over the summer, Graham Potter has already seen his squad strengthened with the additions of Benoit Badiashile, Andrey Santos, David Datro Fofana, Joao Felix and Mykhailo Mudryk, who of course joined for £85million from Shakhtar Donetsk.
Chelsea have also closed a deal to sign Noni Modueke from PSV Eindhoven for £30million.
The Premier League side have already spent £181.52million since the January transfer window opened.
As well as being significantly more than any other club in the English top flight, that figure dwarfs the total spend of some of Europe's biggest leagues.
The Bundesliga, Serie A, Ligue 1 and LaLiga all struggle to keep up with the Premier League in terms of spending, but even combined they haven't been able to keep up with the big-spending west London club.
Germany, Italy, France and Spain's top flights have spent £60.4million between them, emphasising just how much of a powerhouse the Premier League is in the transfer market - it wouldn't even get you a full Mudryk!

Graham Potter did confirm that he doesn't expect 'too many more' signings before the end of the month, something that will be good news for their rivals.
He said: "I’ve no complaints about the squad.
"I’ve said before that the January window is very complex. You might want A, B, and C but maybe they are not available in terms of positional need.
"But at the same time, you’re always looking to strengthen the team. We’ve done that and it’s exciting the players we have.
"When players are back [from injury] there is a good and exciting squad of players.”
While there's still a week-and-a-half left of the January transfer window, it will take some effort for a club to outspend Chelsea before the market shuts.
However as far as Europe's top leagues are concerned, it's clear just how different the financial landscape is in England, compared to the rest of the continent.
