The Premier League is set to have its most expensive signing record broken twice in one transfer window - and both deals have been done by Liverpool. 

talkSPORT understands that the Reds have agreed a British record £125million fee with Newcastle, which will see Alexander Isak finally head to Anfield from St.

James' Park.

Florian Wirtz's £116million move earlier this summer gave the record to Liverpool, taking it from Chelsea, who previously held top spot after signing Moises Caicedo from Brighton for £115million in August 2023.

But that deal is now going to drop to third in the all-time list, with the Blues also having the fourth-highest ever transfer fee following their signing of World Cup winner Enzo Fernandez from Benfica for £106.5million.

Meanwhile, Manchester United had a long history of being the leading spenders in England and former star man Paul Pogba had previously been the top-flight's priciest player.

However, that all changed in the summer of 2021 when Manchester City bought Jack Grealish from Aston Villa.

Man City did hold the record after spending £100million on England maestro Grealish, but now that deal has slipped down the list.

Arsenal's £105million signing of Declan Rice makes him the most expensive British player of all time, although he still sits behind the Chelsea duo and will remain behind Liverpool's new signings in the history books too.

So, Isak will top this list once his move goes through, but who makes up the current top ten?

Here, talkSPORT.com looks at who has cost the most in English top-flight history.
