6. Tottenham - No player purchased in summer transfer

North London giants Tottenham Hotspur have set a Premier League record by becoming the first team to go throughout the 2018 summer transfer window without a single player.

Tottenham failed to make any incoming transfer into the first team thus becoming the first side to record the feat since the summer transfer windows started in 2003.

The closest player they came to signing was Aston Villa midfielder Jack Grealish but their strong interest in the player was rebuffed by the English Championship outfit.

Aston Villa rejected a £25m bid from Tottenham for the player with the club adamant that he’s not for sale.

7. Least Points - Derby County (11 points)

The most ignominious record of the lot. Derby were relegated with 11 points in 2007-08 in an exemplary case of a Championship team achieving promotion via the play-offs before their time. Billy Davies's squad was a hopelessly inadequate combination of Football League journeymen and has-been such as Alan Stubbs, Robert Earnshaw and Robbie Savage. Their only victory was a 1-0 home win over Newcastle in a September fixture. Paul Jewell arrived after Davies's dismissal in November in a bid to delay the inevitable. Derby were relegated with six games still to play.
