The Premier League went big in the January transfer window and it was no surprise to see Newcastle United top the spending charts.The Magpies were taken over by a consortium led by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund in November and were always likely to invest heavily at the first opportunity.With the threat of relegation to the Championship looming large, Newcastle’s new owners splashed the cash to bring in five new players.Kieran Trippier (£12m), Chris Wood (£25m), Bruno Guimaraes (£33.3m plus £6.5m in add-ons), Dan Burn (£11m plus £2m in add-ons) and Matt Targett (loan deal) have bolstered Eddie Howe’s squad for the run-in.That gives Newcastle an initial spend of over £80m, with more payments to come, depending on how deals have been structured and performance-related add-ons.Newcastle’s new-found wealth has helped the Premier League record a bumper window with an overall gross spend of £295m.According to market analysis by Deloitte, the 2022 January transfer window is therefore the second highest January transfer window spend ever, behind only 2018, which saw a whopping £430m spent when Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Aymeric Laporte were the headline deals.HAVE YOUR SAY! Will Newcastle avoid relegation from the Premier League this season? Comment below. Interestingly, January 2022 is also over four times higher than the spend during January 2021 (£70m), showing the lessening impact of the coronavirus pandemic.
