English Premier League club Liverpool paid the largest amount of money to agents in the past year among all 20 clubs in the league.The Merseysiders paid a total of £14.3m to agents, with Manchester United coming in second paying £13.8m.The Premier League as a whole spent a total of £129.8m on agents.

Arsenal’s £11.9m and United’s £13.9m spend for the January and summer windows of 2015 contributed to the total of £129.9m paid out by the 20 Premier League clubs. This was an increase of nearly £15m from the total that went to player representatives in the January and summer windows of 2014.

Liverpool’s £14.3m spend was the highest in the two windows of this year ahead of United’s, and Manchester City’s £12.4m, though this latter sum was lower than the £12.8m paid to agents by Sheikh Mansour’s club in 2014.

In the summer Brendan Rodgers, then the Liverpool manager, bought Christian Benteke (£32.5m), Roberto Firmino (£29m), Nathaniel Clyne (£12.5m), and Joe Gomez (£3.5m) for the Anfield club. Tottenham nearly halved their expenditure on agent fees, down £5m from 2014.
