With the help of University of Liverpool's football finance expert Kieran Maguire and his database of club accounts up to 2023, BBC Sport has attempted to break down the overall Premier League picture in charts.

Chelsea lead spending on agents' fees at £75m and are among the sides to post eye-watering losses in recent weeks.

"It cost former Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich about £900,000 a week for 19 years in terms of interest-free loans to cover the club's losses," said Maguire.

Now under the stewardship of Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital the Blues are still among the biggest losers when it comes to loss before tax, only behind Tottenham, Aston Villa and Manchester United by this metric.

They spent £747m on transfers last season and in March reported a pre-tax loss of £90m, having lost £121m the previous year.

In figures published by Companies House, it is now clear the losses would have been even higher without the sale of hotel buildings to Blueco 22 Properties Ltd, a subsidiary of parent company Blueco 22 Ltd, which led to a profit for the club of £76.5m.
