Premier League 2018/19: Which top six club won the transfer window?

Liverpool (1st)

Shaqiri is just one of several names Klopp has brought to Liverpool

RATING: 9.5/10

Liverpool, by far, "win" the transfer window.

They made the highest profile and most astute signings, and surely are now best placed to rival City for the league.

Klopp also now has a team with the prolific Salah, Firmino and Mane in attack, and van Dijk in defence, to win the club's first league title since 1990.

Karius was an evident weak link last season, however, Alisson can surely make up for this.

So can Liverpool win the league? It remains to be seen, of course. But they are primed in a way to achieve this, arguably in the best means in PL history. They came close in the 1990s under Roy Evans, and flirted with it somewhat under Houllier and Benitez. And of course, a "slip" up cost them in 13/14. But this season it looks like Klopp is amassing a top squad, and it could be a decent year for them overall. His signings necessitate not just a PL challenge, but a trophy of some sort, whether the League Cup, FA Cup, or even Champions League.

Winning the transfer window though is one thing. But winning an actual trophy - and not just hypothetical/imaginary constructs - is something else. Liverpool are well-placed to do so, but teams have bought well before and not succeeded. Let's see how well they can do now, given their transfer window success.
