Which Premier League club has spent the most money since Jurgen Klopp took over at Liverpool?

When Paul Pogba re-joined Manchester United from Juventus for a record transfer fee of £89million back in 2016, one of the first people to criticise the move was Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp. 

Liverpool fans will defend their manager to the death, but considering the club haven't been afraid to splash the cash in recent years, is it time to call Klopp, and the club, out on their supposed miserly ways?

To find out, we used Transfermarkt to determine which club has spent the most money on players since Klopp became Reds boss in October 2015.

The figures in this article relate to transfers made from the 2016 January window, all the way to the 2021/22 campaign.

Before we take a look at Liverpool though, here's a look at their main Premier League rivals.

Last season, the Premier League champions spent £121million, although £100million alone went on England international Jack Grealish.

That year, City welcomed the likes of Aymeric Laporte (£58m), Benjamin Mendy (£51m), Kyle Walker (£47m), Bernardo Silva (£45m) and Ederson (£36m).

Next, we have Chelsea who arguably started the spending revolution in England following the arrival of Russian-Israeli billionaire Roman Abramovich.

The former Blues owner was never shy when it came to digging deep into his pockets - a point exemplified by the fact Chelsea have had two seasons of expenditure which crossed the £200million mark since 2016 alone.

The first such campaign was in 2017/18, while the second, in 2020/21, saw Kai Havertz (£72m), Timo Werner (£47m), and Ben Chilwell (£45m) arrive at Stamford Bridge.

Interestingly, five of Manchester United's top six most expensive signings have arrived in the Premier League since 2016. The aforementioned Pogba tops that list.
