Chelsea’s outlay represented the combined costs of their near £1billion transfer spree over the past two years. Indeed, among the players whose agents were paid were Romelu Lukaku, now coming to the end of his second season on loan away from SW6, Havertz and defensive flop Kalidou Koulibaly. With Mauricio Pochettino’s side ninth and 16 points adrift of the final automatic Champions League spot with eight games left many fans will wonder if the club is getting value for money.Fellow promoted clubs Sheffield United, who spent £5.1m, and Burnley, on £6.9m, filled the bottom three in both the expenditure and current actual table.
