Leeds United's impressive £19m five-year player sale profit compared to Aston Villa, Wolves & more

The 2021 summer transfer window was a real classic, with a number of top quality international stars including the likes of Romelu Lukaku and Cristiano Ronaldo making their way back to the Premier League.

While the Whites did match their big-money spending of last summer, they still had a strong window, bringing in the likes of Daniel James, Junior Firpo and Jack Harrison all for eight-figure fees.

One real area of interest in modern football is how well clubs manage to secure an eventual profit from players they buy, with the wildly inflated market meaning a player could be bought for a bargain fee one season and flogged for big money the next.

At the opposite end of the spectrum, some players command multi-million pound fees, before winding down their contracts and leaving for nothing a few years later.
