Gareth Bale becomes the world's most expensive player with his €100 ($147m) move from Tottenham Hotspur to Real Madrid, surpassing the $140m Madrd paid Manchester United for Cristiano Ronaldo. Bale's move triggered the sale of Mesut Ozil for €50m from Real Madrid to Arsenal.

Edinson Cavani's move from Napoli to PSG is the second biggest transfer at a reported $90m. The top transfers involving EPL clubs (buying) were Manchester City's purchase of Fernandinho from Shakhtar Donetsk for $55m and Chelsea's purchase of Willian from Anzhi Makhachkala for the same fee. Manchester City can be backed at odds of $3.10 to win the 2014 EPL, as can Chelsea at the same price.

Top spending team were naturally Real Madrid, having spent almost $250m, with Tottenham Hotspur second spending £110m ($190m).

Newly promoted Monaco having spent $181m on Falcao, Rodriguez and Moutinho. Monaco are currently second favourites to win Ligue 1 at odds of $4.10, with PSG short priced favourites at odds of $1.39.

Manchester United lost out on Ander Herrera from Athletic Bilbao and also had a late bid for Sami Khedira rejected by Real Madrid, but they just about managed to get the signing of Marouane Fellaini through for a cool $50m.

The free transfer of Kaka from Real Madrid to AC Milan shows how fickle football can be. In 2009 AC Milan sold Kaka for a then world record €68.5m, in just 4 years, he moves back to Milan aged just 31 for free! What price Bale back at White Hart Lane on a free transfer by 2018?

The most surprising signing of the summer has to be the signing of One Direction's Louis Tomlinson by English Championship side Doncaster Rovers. Yes that's correct!
