Chelsea Leads Premier League in Agent Fee Expenditure

Chelsea's spending on agent fees reached a record £75 million in the 2023-24 season, topping the Premier League.

Chelsea spent £75 million on agent fees, the highest in the Premier League for the 2023-24 season, significantly outpacing rivals.
The total spend by Premier League clubs on agent fees was £409.59 million, with Chelsea accounting for nearly a fifth of this amount.
Chelsea's investment in agent fees exceeded the total agent fees of all Championship clubs combined.
Despite their high spending, Chelsea has struggled in league performance, finishing 12th last season and currently standing ninth.
This financial strategy follows the club's acquisition by Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital, who have invested over $1 billion in transfer fees since 2022.
