Brighton just bought Charalampos Kostoulas from Olympiacos for £30m+. Just turned 18 and only 20 odds games in the Greek league.
Signed the young lad who scored in the playoff final for Sunderland too. Seems like they are just stockpiling them rather than need them

That was agreed in January though.
I realise that but starting next season with these 2 and Evan ferguson. Probably none of the 3 being first choice. It reduces the pathway to regular minutes for all 3

Amusing to see their outrage and fake news wrapped up in one
He even said later he’s been learning Spanish for a couple of months
It is kinda funny. Doesn't exactly sound like it's been a couple of months when you listen to the longer segment but maybe he's a quick study? Plus I'm sure with the wages he's on he could have a tutor live in his house for a couple of months if he wanted to get up to speed quickly.

Asked how Liverpool could keep up with City, Klopp said: "You will not like the answer, and you all have the answer already. Nobody can compete with City in that. You have the best team in the world and you put in the best striker on the market. No matter what it costs, you just do it. I know City will not like it, nobody will like it [but] you've asked the question and you know the answer.

"I heard now that at Newcastle somebody [sporting director Dan Ashworth] said 'there is no ceiling for this club'. Yes! He is right. He is absolutely right. There is no ceiling for Newcastle. Congratulations, but some other clubs have ceilings!"
Considering they don't spend any money ever, there's an article on the bbcsport page and they have
Goalkeeper - second highest fee spent
Defender - third highest fee ever spent
Midfielder - third highest fee ever spent (though could be argued first with the add ons)
not bad for a side yet to ever spend money on a player
