The transfer record progression of every Premier League club
This feature reveals the last five times every Premier League club has broken their transfer record, on whom, from where and for how much. Enjoy (laughing at/pitying Newcastle)…
Quote
Newcastle United
Warren Barton – £4m (Wimbledon, June 1995)
Les Ferdinand – £6m (QPR, July 1995)
Faustino Asprilla – £6.7m (Parma, February 1996)
Alan Shearer – £15m (Blackburn, July 1996)
Michael Owen – £16m (Real Madrid, August 2005)
Fifteen current Premier League clubs have broken their transfer record at least five times since Newcastle last set theirs. Of the other five, Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United have broken theirs four times, while Fulham have spent more than £16m on four different players, including one from Newcastle.
Manchester United’s transfer record is the second-longest standing, a full 3,996 days after Newcastle signed Michael Owen. Good lord.
