| How did the spending break down? In a similar pattern to last year, the majority of the money was spent on players from outside England (62%). In 2012 a quarter of the money went to other Premier Leagues, this dropped to 21% this year. Only 17% of the January transfer window spend this year trickled down to the Football League. The chart above shows how the spending breaks down. | How did the spending break down? In a similar pattern to last year, the majority of the money was spent on players from outside England (62%).

| Once again Queens Park Rangers were the biggest net spenders with Liverpool following close behind. Harry Redknapp broke QPR's transfer record by signing Christopher Samba for £12.5m - the highest outright spend for a player in the 2013 January transfer window. Wilfried Zaha from Crystal Palace to Manchester United was in fact the most expensive transfer in January, coming in at £15m, although only £10m of this was paid up front. The two richest clubs in the league, Chelsea and Manchester City, are at the opposite end of the table. The chart above shows the net gains or losses by club. | |
