The Premier League is set to welcome a new mega-money superstar, with Florian Wirtz about to become the most expensive signing in history. 

talkSPORT reports that Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen have reached an agreement on a total fee of £116 million for Wirtz, which will establish a new British transfer record this summer.

Chelsea currently still hold the record after signing Moises Caicedo from Brighton for £115million in August 2023.

The Blues also made headlines with the second-highest transfer deal when they acquired World Cup champion Enzo Fernandez from Benfica for £106.5 million on the final day of the January 2022/23 window.

In the past, Manchester United was renowned for being the biggest spender in England, with ex-player Paul Pogba once holding the title of the league’s most expensive athlete.

However, that all changed in the summer of 2021 when Manchester City bought Jack Grealish from Aston Villa.

Man City did hold the record after spending £100million on England maestro Grealish, but now that deal has slipped down the list.

Arsenal’s £105million signing of Declan Rice makes him the most expensive British player of all time, although he still sits behind the Chelsea duo in the history books.

So, Wirtz will top this list once his move goes through, but who makes up the current top ten?

Here, talkSPORT.com looks at who has cost the most in English top-flight history.
