Chelsea top Premier League for spend on agents' fees with £75m
The data, which covered the 12 months to February 1st, 2024, showed the total spend on agents by Premier League clubs was £409.59 million.
It represented a sizeable increase from £318.2 million spent in the 2022/23 campaign.
Chelsea headed the list after paying £75,140,524 during deals for players including Moises Caicedo, Christopher Nkunku, Romeo Lavia, Nicolas Jackson and Cole Palmer.

Manchester City were the biggest spenders in the previous list and have now dropped down to second place with a £60.63 million outlay on agents' fees.
Manchester United spent £34.05 million on agents, while Liverpool paid £31.50 million and Arsenal's outlay reached £24.76 million
Luton, promoted to the Premier League via the play-offs last year, paid the least at £2.02 million.
