England is dominating the international transfer market in terms of spending on overseas players, a new FIFA report has shown.www.fifatms.com.
This season Chelsea has signed Fabregas, Costa, Remy, Cuadrado, Drogba, Luis, Matic, from different clubs in Europe whereas Manchester United has signed Herera, diMaria, Rojo,Falcao,Luke Shaw. This is sufficiet to posit that England do lack football talent especially at young age.
More than 770 million pounds was spent by English clubs on players from abroad -- 308 million (67 percent) more than nearest rivals Spain.
The figures are contained in the FIFA TMS Global Transfer Market 2015 report which also highlights the fact that Spain continues to be the biggest market for signing players aged under 18 from abroad -- a fact given extra relevance considering Barcelona's transfer ban for signing minors in breach of the rules and the FIFA investigation into Real Madrid over similar alleged offences.http://www.euronews.com/2014/12/30/football-fc-barcelona-s-transfer-ban-confirmed-for-one-year/.
The report shows English clubs are the biggest-spenders in the world on international transfers making up more than a quarter of the total $4.06 billion (2.64 billion pounds) spent worldwide in 2014. The figures included the 59.7 million-pound British transfer record signing of Angel Di Maria by Manchester United from Real Madrid.
