In 2017-18 we ranked 4th in the division for biggest agent spend with £226,258 splashed on agents, following the signings of Michael Kightly, Rob Kiernan, Michael Turner and Josh Wright and extensions for Theo Robinson, Jason Demeteriou and Anton Ferdinand.
Over the last year this we had the 5th lowest - matching our current league position - with a far more respectable £44,658 following the signings of Tom Hopper, Sam Barratt, Harry Lennon and co. over the summer.
Unsurprisingly Sunderland are top in the division and there's a fairly strong correlation between agent spend and league position.
