In fifth place is another Liverpool new-boy, Christian Benteke, who moved for the value of his release clause at previous club Aston Villa.
4) Anthony Martial – £36m
A hugely overpriced player, Anthony Martial today completed a move from Monaco to Manchester United for an estimated £36m, potentially rising to £58m, according to some reports. The 19-year-old is now the most expensive teenager of all time.

A world class talent, Kevin De Bruyne is officially the most expensive player to move this summer after his £55m switch from Wolfsburg to Manchester City, who clearly mean business as they look to win back the title.
