With Leeds United set to take their total outlay for Jean-Kevin Augustin to £40million, in return for just 48 minutes of service, the striker must now rank as the worst signing in the history of English football.
Augustin made only three substitute appearances for Leeds in 2020, after which the club argued their obligation to buy the player from Red Bull Leipzig had been invalidated by the Covid-19 pandemic causing a delay to the season's end.
However, Leeds lost their case at the Court of Arbitration for Sport and later reached a settlement of £15.
