Premier League Agent Fee Comparisons - 2009 - 2018
Compare what every Preamier League Club has spent on agent fees every season from 2008 right up to the current year.
In the murky world of football transfers, there is a most incendiary word, one capable of making the most hardened agent flinch: "Transparency". Unfortunately agents fees are not disclosed on each individual transfer deal but they are listed in total in each clubs yearly accounts.
We have been tracking fees paid to agents since 2009. On this page we will compare the totals of what each Premier Leage Club pays to agents every season from 2009 to the current season.
Trying to establish how much a representative was paid for a deal is often met with a combination of incredulity and contempt but there is a growing will for change. To not much fanfare at June's 2018's annual meeting, the Premier League chairmen and chief executives agreed recommendations to make agents more accountable.
If things change to the extent where football Agent Fees for each deal are published we will track that here too.
