Several blockbuster deals reshaped the European football landscape, with Premier League clubs once again dominating the market. Here\u2019s a look at the top five most expensive signings of the window.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Alexander Isak \u2013 Liverpool (\u20ac144m)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Liverpool shattered their transfer record to sign Alexander Isak from Newcastle United for \u20ac144 million. The Swedish forward signed a six-year deal and will don the iconic No. 9 shirt at Anfield.

Hugo Ekitike \u2013 Liverpool (\u20ac95m)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Liverpool\u2019s spending spree didn\u2019t stop there.

The 23-year-old penned a six-year deal, further strengthening the Reds\u2019 striking options and signaling a long-term rebuild at Anfield.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Nick Woltemade \u2013 Newcastle United (\u20ac85m)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Newcastle United broke their club-record transfer fee to bring in German forward Nick Woltemade from VfB Stuttgart.

Benjamin Sesko \u2013 Manchester United (\u20ac76.5m)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Manchester United secured the services of Slovenian striker Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig for \u20ac76.5 million.
