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.
3Benjamin Mendy – Manchester City – £52 Million
Unavailable for the first two league matches due to a Thigh Muscle Strain, followed by a run of 5 games with 2 yellow cards and 2 assists in 389 minutes of football. This is the summary of Benjamin Mendy, the costliest defender in the history of Football.
But, unfortunately, the £52 Million player from the league winning Monaco, has suffered yet another injury, only the injury is a terrible Cruciate Ligament one, effectively making the costliest defender ever, unavailable for the best part of the season and only a miracle can see him back early.
A star for the future, but Mendy has to go down as one of the worst transfers of this summer’s transfer window.
