 The signing of Lescott took City's total spending to nearly £150m
|
Manchester City are the biggest Premier League spenders on agents' fees, according to new figures.
City shelled out almost £13m between October 2008 and September 2009.
Manager Mark Hughes spent nearly £150m in the transfer market in the same period, including £25m on Emmanuel Adebayor and £22.5m on Joleon Lescott.
The total amount paid to agents comes to £70.7m with Chelsea second having spent £9.5m. At less than £500,000, Burnley are the lowest spenders.
Manchester United were near the bottom of the list at just £1.5m.
It is the first time the figures from top-flight clubs have been published after the elite 20 followed the example set by the Football League, who began to publish annual spending reports five years ago.
Under new regulations, clubs agree to the publication of the figures after 30 November each year.
A Football Association spokesperson said: "We are pleased that, through these new requirements, clubs are bringing greater transparency to the domestic transfer market.
"For the first time, there will be a game-wide picture of the level of spending on agents. The leagues and other key stakeholders have been fully supportive, following the example set by the Football League with its publication of agents fees over the last few years."
