It’s okay to share.
Large amounts of money are often invested in promising young talents by the clubs of the premier league.
It’s a very risky transfer strategy as a lot of young players struggle to deal with the pressure and can’t live up to expectations after a big-money move
10. Ryan Sessegnon – £25m
Sessegnon went from strength to strength after making his senior debut for Cottagers at the age of 16 and went on to make a £25 million move to Spurs.
During his debut season at Spurs, he made just six appearances and then spent the next two years on loan at Hoffenheim.
The 22-year-old is starting to rediscover his best form and established himself as the first choice in the left wing-back role towards the end of the 2021-22 season.
After earning rave reviews for his performances at Portuguese side Porto, Anderson moved to England at the age of 19 and joined Manchester United in a £26 million deal.
In his first season at United, he helped the club win the premier league title and then scored the winning penalty in their victory over Sevilla in the playoffs.
A few months after receiving the Golden Boy award, he was plagued by a number of injuries and failed to live up to his huge potential.
He joined Brazilian side Internacional on a free transfer after falling out of favor with Sir Alex Ferguson.
A tribute to Anderson, the cult hero of Manchester United.
=5. William Saliba – £27m
One of the two Saint-Etienne academy graduates on this list, Saliba caught the attention of some of the biggest clubs around Europe, and in the end, he chose to join the club of his choice in 2019.
The defender spent the second half of 2020-21 on a loan at Nice after he was left out of the squad for the first half of the season.
He was allowed to leave on loan once again ahead of the 2021-22 season and joined Marseille, where he won the Ligue 1 Young Player of the Year award.
A man of the match on his debut, the France international is now a key member of the first-team squad. There is a sign of things to come.
In the summer of 2004, Manchester United spent over two million dollars on Rooney.
What an athlete.

=5. Luke Shaw – £27m
Shaw was named in the PFA’s Team of the Year in the 2013-14 season and then moved to Manchester United for £29m.
He had a difficult start to his United career, suffering a double leg break against PSV and having some very public battles with Jose.
The left-back won the Manchester United Players’ Player of the Year award in both 2018-19 and 2020-21 after turning things around.
He scored for England in the Euro 2020 final and was called Shawberto Carlos, but has gone backwards in the last year.
Jesus moved to Manchester City from Palmeiras in January of last year, after being linked with Barcelona, Real Madrid and other clubs.
The price tag was justified by the fact that the forward scored 95 goals in 236 appearances for the club and helped them win four Premier League titles, three FA Cup and two League cups.
When they announced the arrival of Kean, one of Italy’s best prospects, they looked to have pulled off a real coup.
He scored two goals in 33 appearances, but was taken out of the game 18 minutes after he came on during the Manchester United draw.
After spending the 2020-21 season on a loan at Paris Saint-Germain, the 22-year-old returned to the Bianconeri on a two-year loan. The Italian side has an option to make the move permanent.

3. Wesley Fofana – £30m
After coming through the ranks at Saint-Etienne, Fofana made 30 first-team appearances for the club before joining Leicester City.
The centre-back won the Young Player of the Season award after helping the club to victory in the FA Cup final.
He broke his leg in a pre-season friendly and was out of action for the rest of the season.
He only made seven appearances in the premier league last season, but his stock is still high and he is currently being pursued by the Blues.
Silva convinced Wolves that he was worth £35million in the summer of 2020 despite only making 12 appearances for Porto.
The player was thrown in at the deep end when his team-mate suffered a fractured skull and was unable to fill the void.
He finished his debut season with four league goals, making him the second-highest scoring Portuguese teenager in the history of the Premier League.
The 20-year-old failed to score a single goal in 26 appearances for Wolves during the 2021-22 season.
Silva will be hoping to get his career back on track after spending the 2022-23 season on a loan at Anderlecht.
1. Anthony Martial – £36m
When Manchester United decided to sign Martial from Monaco on transfer deadline day in 2015, he was a relatively unknown teenager.
On his United debut, the forward came off the bench to score a wonderful solo goal against the Reds.
Martial has struggled to hit the heights expected of him and has been plagued by inconsistency in recent years.
He had a difficult spell on loan at Sevilla in the second half of the 21st century but is set to be given one last chance to save his United career.
