Everton have signed nine players at a net cost of £97m (based on initial fees), their highest net outlay in a summer transfer window and more than they had spent over the previous seven seasons combined (£71m).
The figure of £97m far surpasses any season in the club's Premier League history, with the potential for further arrivals in the January window.
BBC Sport explores Everton's record spending in the summer window and how the new arrivals have helped them make an impressive start to the season.
