Dave Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Liverpool were the biggest spenders on agents in the Premier League last year with £26.8m paid on fees. Football Association data was released on Tuesday showing expenditure from 1 February 2017 to 31 January 2018 with top-flight clubs paying £211m to agents - an increase of £37m (21 per cent). Liverpool have been active in the transfer market over the last year with the acquisition of forward Mohamed Salah from Roma and centre-half Virgil van Dijk from Southampton. Chelsea paid a total of £25.1m, while Premier League leaders Manchester City spent £23.4m. Manchester United were fourth (£18m) and Watford fifth (£13.4m). Everton are sixth in the list (£12m), followed by Arsenal (£10.56m), Leicester (£9.91m), West Ham (£8.39m) and Bournemouth (£7.73m). Huddersfield were the lowest spenders in the top flight having paid just £2.47m to agents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Gonzo Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 I think with Salah, Keita (because I think we've had to pay some of that already), and VvD that's not too surprising. 3 really big transfers there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted April 4, 2018 Subscriber Share Posted April 4, 2018 I'm actually surprised those numbers aren't higher. They'll get there though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Success is priceless Yeah I'm not really too bothered. We got an incredible attacker in Salah, VvD is pretty much exactly what I was hoping for (and I wanted him in the summer... so that's cool that we got someone I wanted and he's not turned out poo). And I don't watch a lot (or any, really) of the Bundesliga... but I've seen clips of Keita (admittedly, they can make anyone look good) and he looks like a pretty fantastic player for our midfield. And his through balls look great. And his statistics have been excellent. All expensive - but I don't particularly care if Keita pans out and we keep them all for a few seasons because they'll have improved us massively.

Honey Honey Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Once you are on tv all the time you don't need an agent anymore, a solicitor could do the agents job for about 0.01% of the cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
