#3 Jadon Sancho - £72.9 million
Arguably one of the best young players in the world at the moment, English star Jadon Sancho attracted a lot of attention due to his performances for Borussia Dortmund, where he scored a total of 50 goals in 137 appearances across competitions in his 4 seasons at the Bundesliga side.
As a result, he secured a move to Manchester United for a reported fee of £72.9 million in the 2021 summer transfer window, following a seemingly endless transfer saga. Notably, the move made him the second-most expensive English player of all time, at the time.
Currently just 21-years-old, Sancho is expected to be one of the most exciting English players to watch in the upcoming 2021-22 Premier League season.
#2 Harry Maguire - £78 million
28-year-old Harry Maguire currently holds the record for being the most expensive defender ever, after Manchester United decided to pay Leicester City a reported fee of £78 million for him in August 2019. The English centre-back was also the most expensive English player of all time until recently.
Since his move to the Red Devils, Maguire has arguably been one of the most important players in Manchester United's resurgence. As club captain, he led them to a third-placed finish in the 2019-20 Premier League season, and an improved second-placed finish in the Premier League last season.
In his two seasons at the club, Maguire has made a staggering total of 107 appearances across all competitions, showcasing his importance at the back. Maguire will continue to be an integral part of Manchester United's upcoming campaign and all eyes will be on his partnership with Raphael Varane at the heart of Manchester United's defense.
#1 Jack Grealish - £100 million
Potentially the signing of the season in the Premier League, Jack Grealish's move from Aston Villa to Manchester City for a reported fee of £100 million made him the club's most expensive signing ever, by far. By moving to the defending Premier League champions, Grealish has also become the most expensive English footballer of all time.
Grealish's exploits for Aston Villa have catapulted him into the spotlight for being one of the most creative footballers in the world. Now part of an absolutely deadly Manchester City squad, the English forward is expected to be a lot more lethal this season and in the seasons to follow.
