Graham Potter explains why £1.9billion summer transfer spend isn't entirely obscene

Graham Potter knows the £1.9billion shelled out by Premier League clubs during this summer's transfer window is an indecent amount of money.

That the fact England's top 20 clubs have broken the previous record spend for a year in one window is 'insane'. Few can argue that such an outlay during a cost-of-living crisis is not a good look for football. Especially when it's there in black and white that the Premier League alone spent more than Spain, Italy and Germany's top-division clubs combined.

But while the Brighton boss gets all of the above, he is also canny enough to point out that the money football generates can hopefully help Britain during a time of need.
