Top 10 players with highest career transfer fees

FUSSBALL: WM FRANCE 98 Marseille, 27.06.98

8. Robbie Keane

Tottenham Hotspur v Fiorentina

Standing at number eight, Robbie Keane is a name not many would have expected on this list. However, the Irish veteran has accumulated the transfer fees moving from club to club in the Premier League, and is now playing for Los Angeles Galaxy in the MLS.

Clubs played for - Wolverhampton Wanderers, Coventry City, Inter Milan, Leeds United, Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool, Celtic, West Ham United, Los Angeles Galaxy, Aston Villa

Combined transfer fees – £91 million

7. Gareth Bale

Tottenham Hotspur FC v Olympique Lyonnais - UEFA Europa League Round of 32

The two-time PFA Player of the Year climbs high on this list on the back of his world-record £85 million transfer to Real Madrid over the summer, with the Welshman lying just one spot under teammate Cristiano Ronaldo.

Only 24 years of age, Bale has joined one of the biggest clubs in the world, and could easily reach top spot on this list by the end of his career, if he does end up moving away from the Bernabeu.

Clubs played for - Southampton, Tottenham Hotspur, Real Madrid

Combined transfer fees – £92 million
