JANUARY 2023’S MOST EXPENSIVE TRANSFER XI … IT’S HALF CHELSEA!
The transfer window is closed ā¦ so itās time to build Januaryās most expensive XI.
Obviously, these arenāt the 11 most expensive players of the month, because then weād have no goalkeepers, only a couple of defenders, and any number of wingers. That would be ridiculous.
Instead, weāve tied ourselves to a 4-2-3-1 and cheated a little bit at left-back. Itās a minor tweak, youāll forgive us.
Chelsea provided five of these players. If theyād have fancied it, the entire new XI would only have set them back ā¬456.7 million (Ā£403.5 million) ā talk about January sales!
