Chelsea have topped the Premier League table for agent fees for the second consecutive year, spending £65.1 million in the period from February 4, 2025, to February 2, 2026, according to figures published by the Football Association on Wednesday. This marks an increase of £4.7 million from the previous year's £60.4 million.
The Blues' spending on player representatives is nearly double that of any other Premier League club, with Aston Villa coming second at £38.4 million. Other top spenders include Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, and Arsenal, each paying over £30 million, with Arsenal at £32.1 million.
Premier League clubs collectively spent £460.3 million on agent fees over the past year, up from £409 million the previous year. Chelsea's high expenditure is attributed internally to their record level of first-team player sales last summer.
Among the transactions listed by the FA is an updated contract for Mykhailo Mudryk, handled by his agent Vadym Shablii. Mudryk is currently suspended from Chelsea's first team after failing a drugs test.
Despite this year's high figure, Chelsea's agent fee spending remains below their league-high of £75.1 million recorded in the period from February 2023 to February 2024.
