Fulham's quest for an instant return to the Premier League has certainly been costly.
The Cottagers are currently top of the Championship and 14 points clear of third place and it looks a matter of when, not if, they will earn promotion. But last summer saw them shell out a rumoured £12million for winger Harry Wilson from Liverpool - the most expensive transfer outside the top flight.
That deal and other transfers in the summer and January saw Fulham spend more than £10m on agent fees alone. Unsurprisingly, this is the highest figure of all 24 current second tier sides. The figures, which run from February 2, 2021 until January 31, 2022, show spending on agent fees rose from last year in the Championship, from £40.8m in 2020-21 up to to £44.4m.
