#3 Liverpool - 64
Liverpool have been one of the most successful teams along with Manchester City in the Premier League in the last few years, managing some shrewd signings. They lifted the Champions League in 2019 and ended their 30-year league drought by lifting the title in 2020.
The Reds have made a total of 64 signings in the last decade. They have been excellent in the transfer market in the last few years. The likes of Mohammed Salah, Virgil Van Dijk, Alisson Becker and Sadio Mane have propelled them to the Champions League and Premier League titles in consecutive seasons.
While Liverpool made some questionable signings at the start of the decade, the arrival of Jurgen Klopp in 2015 changed the fortunes of the club. Liverpool have made some shrewd signings since then. The German has integrated these players brilliantly into his team, implementing a style of football that has been quite successful.
Liverpool had a disappointing 2020-21 season due to injuries but still finished third in the Premier League. With key players now back in training, the Reds will once again hope to challenge for the Premier League title this season.
#2 Manchester City - 74
Arguably the most successful Premier League team in the last decade, Manchester City have been phenomenal since Sheikh Mansour took over the club in 2008. City won their first league title in 44 years in 2012 and since then have won four more, along with one FA Cup and six league cups.
On the transfer front City, have spent heavily since Sheikh Mansour's takeover. They have spent a whopping £1.36 billion in the last decade, signing 74 signings and spending £895.89 million in the transfer market. Their spending has certainly reaped rewards, considering their success in the last ten years.
They have had some excellent signings like Sergio Aguero, Kevin De Bruyne, Riyad Mahrez and Raheem Sterling, who have been a crucial part of their -title-winning teams in recent years. The arrival of Pep Guardiola in 2016 has seen Manchester City become one of the best teams in Europe, winning three of the last four Premier League titles.
The only title that has eluded Manchester City is the UEFA Champions League. They reached their final in the competition last season but were beaten by Chelsea.
With reports stating that Harry Kane and Jack Grealish are being targeted by the club, City will hope that these two players would help them conquer Europe next season.
#1 Chelsea - 77
The Premier League team with the most signings in the last decade are Champions League winners Chelsea.
The Blues have had 77 signings in the last decade, albeit half of them would have joined their loan army immediately on arrival. Although Chelsea have spent £1.31 billion on new signings, they have had a net spend of just £484.84 million, earning a decent income from player sales.
However, the Blues' spending has not been wasteful, as they have been one of the most successful Premier League clubs alongside Manchester City in the last decade. The Blues have won two Premier League titles, two Champions Leagues, two Europa Leagues, two FA Cups and one League Cup. They recently won their second Champions League title, beating Manchester City in the final.
Chelsea have had signings like Eden Hazard, Diego Costa, N'Golo Kante and Cesc Fabregas, who were excellent for the Blues. They also spent a lot of money on the likes of Alvaro Morata, Tiemoue Bakayoko and Kepa Arrizabalaga, who failed to live up to expectations at Stamford Bridge, though.
After winning the Champions League last season, Chelsea will look to further bolster their squad this summer. They are in the market for a striker and are ready to spend heavily on the likes of Harry Kane, Erling Haaland and Romelu Lukaku. If they acquire one of their transfer targets, Chelsea could be in contention for the Premier League title next season.
