Chelsea top Premier League spending as 2024/25 agent fees revealed | OneFootball

Chelsea have spent more on agent fees than any other Premier League club over the last year, topping that particular table of rankings once more.

The Blues paid just over £60m to agents for the 12 months from 2 February 2024 to 3 February 2025, having committed to north of £200m on transfer fees during that period. Players who arrived include Joao Felix, Pedro Neto and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall.

But those payments on agent fees are down on £75m for the previous year.

Manchester City, who had spent the most on agent fees in 2022/23, remain second on the list behind Chelsea for paying £52m. Manchester United are third by forking out £33m to agents.

Aston Villa, Newcastle United, Arsenal and Liverpool all surpassed £20m.

City did most of their spending this season in January, with Savinho the only summer addition, before an outlay in excess of £170m on new players in the winter.

Villa's winter transfer window was also responsible for increasing their outlay on agents, having recruited Marcus Rasford, Marco Asensio, Donyell Malen and Andres Garcia mid-season.

The least paid to agents during the 2024/25 period in question was £6.8m from Ipswich Town. Southampton, Everton and Leicester City all spent under £10m on such costs.
