Premier League clubs continued to flex their financial muscle in the January transfer window. Apart from splashing out huge sums on signing fees, they also offered lucrative wages in their bid to lure talented players to England.

It has been revealed that no team spent more on wages than Manchester United last season.

This is now common knowledge as The Times has published the figures invested in wages by Premier League teams in 2021/22.
