Chelsea top Premier League payments to agents over 2023/24 season
Chelsea paid a whopping £75.1m to agent and intermediaries between February 2023 and February 2024, more than any other Premier League side.
Figures released by the Football Association revealed the Premier League spent a combined £409.5m on agents across the 12-month period in question, with Chelsea making up nearly a quarter of that figure alone.
Chelsea wrapped up the signings of Moises Caicedo, Romeo Lavia, Christopher Nkunku, Cole Palmer, Axel Disasi, Nicolas Jackson, Robert Sanchez, Lesley Ugochukwu, Deivid Washington, Angelo, Djordje Petrovic and Diego Moreira during the summer transfer window, taking the club's transfer spending to over £1bn since Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital took charge in 2022, before the Blues declined to add to that spending in January.
Behind's Chelsea's £75.1m spend on agents, Manchester City sit second in the standings with £60.6m, with those two clubs well clear of third-placed Manchester United at £34m.
Liverpool (£31.5m), Arsenal (£24.7m) and Aston Villa (£21.1m) all parted with big sums for agents, as did Tottenham (£19.7m) and Newcastle United (£18.8m).
Last season's relegated trio, Leeds United (£13.2m), Leicester City (£8.1m) and Southampton (£7.5m), unsurprisingly lead the payments from team's in the Championship, where the total spend reached £61.3m.
Derby County lead League One with £434,465, while in League Two, high-flying Wrexham parted with £347,027 to agents and intermediaries, at least twice as much as any other club in the division aside from Forest Green Rovers.
