Top 10 Most Expensive Premier League Transfers by Mid-Tier Clubs
From Aston Villa to Newcastle United, here are the top 10 most expensive signings by Premier League clubs outside of 'The Big Six.'
By the end of the Premier League transfer window on September 1, 2026, 20 clubs will have made significant investments to strengthen their squads for the 2026/2027 season. Among these spenders, the majority come from the Premier League's elite clubs, known as The Big Six (Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, Tottenham, and Manchester United). However, mid-tier clubs such as Newcastle United and Aston Villa are also actively rebuilding their teams.
The top 10 most expensive signings by mid-tier Premier League clubs include a diverse range of players, with varying levels of success. Luka Vuskovic, a 19-year-old Croatian defender, was the most recent addition to Tottenham-Hoover from Brighton, in a £50 million deal. Richarlison, a Brazilian forward, made headlines with a £50 million transfer from Watford to Everton in 2018, and later to Tottenham for £60 million.
Amadou Onana, a Belgian midfielder, was signed by Aston Villa from Everton for £50 million, though injury concerns have affected his performance.
