The two moves took spending for England's top flight to about &pound;1.17 billion ($1.54 billion, 1.38 billion euros) &mdash; smashing the record of &pound;870 million for a single transfer window set last year.
Enriched by a new &pound;5.14 billion domestic TV rights deal, 13 of the 20 EPL clubs broke their transfer records in a spree that put Europe's other top divisions in the shade.
