Each season, we see the money spent on transfers during the summer transfer window swell beyond our wildest imagination and this season has not been any different. With the transfers of Neymar and Dembele, dominating the transfer news, some players have moved to various Premier League clubs for exorbitant prices.
Big Teams like Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, etc., have seen their record transfer fee being broken along with various other bumper transfers which topped the £30 Million mark.
Let us see the top five expensive players in the Premier League this season and check whether they justify their price tag.
4Alexandre Lacazette – Arsenal – £46.5 Million
Arsenal’s costliest ever player, signed from Lyon with 37 goals in the recently concluded season, is how everybody knows Alexandre Lacazette. Lacazette has already entered Arsenal’s folklore by becoming the first person since 1988 to score in his first three home matches.
But, apart from the above goals in home games, he has failed to score in any other game. With a tally of 4 goals in 557 minutes, Lacazette has yet to prove his mammoth transfer fee. A match-winning performance against any of the Premier League’s elite teams would make Lacazette the dream striker every Arsenal fan wanted.
