7. Southampton
Transfer spend: £75.3m
Transfer fees received: £14.6m
Net: £60.7m
Saints have also spent big since returning to the Premier League, spending nearly £30m in the summer to bring in Victor Wanyama, Dejan Lovren and Dani Osvaldo. They spent similarly the previous summer, with Gaston Ramirez and Jay Rodriguez the biggest arrivals but, like Hull, haven’t recouped a great deal for players, despite having an academy famous for producing superstars. Their net spend would probably be very different if they’d managed to hand onto Gareth Bale, for instance.
