Newcastle United spent £10.8million on agent fees during the 2022/23 season according to new data released by the FA. But they are way down the Premier League's table for agent fees and spent nowhere near the amount of big guns such as Man City, Chelsea and Liverpool. The data is more evidence of Newcastle not spending lavish amounts despite having wealthy backers.
Newcastle were actually 11th in the table with Man City sitting at the top have splashed out £51.6m. Chelsea - who finished the season in the bottom half of the Premier League table - are next with £43.2m. And Liverpool came in with £33.7m. Leeds spent more on agents fees this season than almost any other Premier League club outside the traditional so-called ‘big six’. Overall in the 2022/23 season, Premier League clubs spent a record-breaking £2.8 billion on transfers.
Chelsea’s new owners flexed their muscles significantly as the Blues spent more than £500 million alone across both transfer windows. And according to new data released by the FA, clubs in the top flight shelled out a total of £318.2 million on agents/intermediaries fees during this season.
