LONDON: The Premier League returns on Friday in front of full crowds for the first time since the coronavirus pandemic hit and with little sign of the financial turmoil of the past 18 months slowing the arms race for talent in the transfer market.

Despite the relaxation of coronavirus restrictions, the Premier League has told fans to expect spot-checks to prove they have been fully vaccinated or provide evidence of a negative test in the past 48 hours before entering stadiums. "It does feel like it is a return to some sort of normality. We will always be cautious and put safety first."The economic bounce from a return of fans through the gates and agreement for a £4.7 billion three-year domestic television rights deal from 2022 has already been evidenced in the sums spent by Premier League clubs on new players.

Manchester United have also spent over £100 million on Jadon Sancho and Raphael Varane as they aim to end an eight-year wait to win the title.
