The total amount of agents fees paid by Premier League clubs in England has now been made public for this past year (4 February 2025 to 2 February 2026).
The decision was made a while ago by the authorities that all agents fees paid by top English clubs had to be made public in the need for transparency.
This latest period covers the last two transfer windows (Summer 2025 and January 2026) and represents all intermediary and agents fees paid by Premier League clubs during the specified period via the FA’s clearing account.
Remember, this is money paid to the middle men, that is not just necessarily when buying players, plenty of clubs using agents to help sell players as well. Agents fees also generated when players agree new contracts
[Chelsea](https://www.themag.co.uk/2025/04/chelsea-owners-lose-over-1billion-in-two-seasons-unsustainable-newcastle-united/) with a staggering £65m+ spent on agents fees across this 2025/26 season.
Worth noting though as well that Aston Villa are second highest with £38m+.
Then third Man City £37m, fourth place Liverpool £33m, Arsenal fifth with £32m.
Newcastle United (£20.2m) are actually down in tenth place this time, also lower than Man U (£31m), Wolves (£25m) Tottenham (£21m) and Bournemouth (£20.8m).
(Last season for 2024/25, the top five for agents fees were Chelsea £60m, Man City £52m, Man U £33m, Aston Villa £25m, Newcastle United £24m)
[Newcastle United](https://www.themag.co.uk/2026/04/newcastle-united-is-not-a-club-in-crisis-it-is-a-club-in-transition/), with a spend on agents fees of £20,284,806, compared to £24,366,737 the previous (2024/25) season. So United spending some £4.1m less in 2025/26 than in 2024/25.
The spending this 2025/26 season is £460,300,308 by the 20 Premier League clubs, compared to the 2024/25 figure of £409,137,387, so actually just over £51m more this time.
As for Newcastle United, the progression has been £10.7m (2022/23), £18.8m (2023/24), £24,3m (2024/25) and now £20.2m in 2025/26.
