The incredible amount Newcastle United spent on agent fees in 2020/21 season

Newcastle paid over £11 million to agents and intermediaries over the past 12 months, it has been revealed by the Football Association.

Figures from all football clubs in England’s top four divisions were published by the FA on Wednesday, with Newcastle forking out the ninth highest fee in the Premier League.

The Magpies signed Callum Wilson for a £20m last summer before securing the signings of Ryan Fraser and Jeff Hendrick on free transfers.

Jamal Lewis also signed from Norwich on a five-year deal.

The £11,349,953 Newcastle spent is a record fee for the club and is a drastic increase from the £9,010,554 they spent in the 2019/20 accounts.
