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.
1Romelu Lukaku – Manchester United – £75 Million
Very few players can replace Zlatan Ibrahimovic, and Romelu Lukaku has more than filled the shoes of Zlatan. With 87 goals in 166 Matches for Everton, Lukaku has been the subject of an intense transfer war between Manchester United and Chelsea, with the Red Devils coming on top. At a price tag of £75 Million, Lukaku has been the most expensive player in the Premier League this season.
A return of 11 goals and 2 assists in 10 matches, would remind everybody of Ronaldo or Messi, but, when the statistics belong to Romelu Lukaku, even £75 Million looks like a real bargain.
