Much is made of what Premier League clubs spend on improving their squads in modern day football – even more so in the current climate due to the coronavirus pandemic.
After leading Chelsea to a top-four spot in his first season in charge – and without making a single signing in the process – Frank Lampard was rewarded with a £200million war chest as six major players arrived through the door this summer.

The Blues have started the season in positive fashion and currently lie in fifth position, having lost just one of their eight outings.
While it is far too early to judge whether or not these additions will be a success, the question arises: Will their value either increase or decrease?
The European Football Index has analysed the numbers behind more than 360 managers from Europe’s top five divisions to discover who has had the biggest impact on squad value during their spells in charge.
One English boss has achieved quite the feat by finishing seventh in those rankings – and unsurprisingly topping the table when it comes to the Premier League.
A study by BetVictor has delved into how the 20 top-flight bosses have fared since taking over their respective clubs.
Notable inclusions in the top 10 include Fulham’s Scott Parker and Aston Villa’s Dean Smith, who both got their squads promoted.
It will also come as no surprise to many that Wolves boss Nuno Santo secures third spot after a brilliant three-year spell at Molineux to date.
But who are the TWO English bosses who lead the way? Check out the full table below, which makes for very interesting reading – especially where Jose Mourinho is concerned.
