Top 10 biggest spending football clubs in the last 5 years

6. Chelsea – €737.60m

To keep up with the likes of Manchester City in the Premier League, Chelsea continued to spend big time over the last five years.

The Blues have always been among the biggest spending football clubs since Roman Abramovich’s takeover. Although it seems the Russian’s attempts to cool down on splashing the cash haven’t gone to plan.

Spending a world-record fee for a goalkeeper in Kepa Arrizabalaga for €80m proves Chelsea’s financial might.

There have been some promising developments in home-ground talent, though. This season alone we’ve seen Tammy Abraham, Mason Mount and Fikayo Tomori break into the senior team.
