The summer transfer window in England saw plenty new players arriving at various Premier League clubs. But Manchester City’s acquisition of Kevin De Bruyne was the pick of the lot solely because of the amount of money that was spent on the Belgian international.
The De Bruyne transfer was sealed in the later parts of the window, weeks after the 2015/16 league season had already started, and Manchester City had to cough up a club record £51m, a month after the club parted with £49m to bring in 20-year-old Raheem Sterling from Liverpool.
