While Chelsea have just produced one of their worst seasons in recent memory, it certainly wasn’t for the lack of trying.
According to statistics collected by DAZN Bet, ‘The Blues’ spent almost three times more than Brentford and Brighton, who both managed to end the campaign comfortably above Chelsea’s underwhelming twelfth-place finish.
In a bid to generate some success, in last year’s summer transfer window and January window, the club spent a whopping £12 million on every point they earned throughout the 2022/23 campaign.
In total, the London club splashed £542 million, totalling an average of £12,318,182 per point.
Whereas rivals, Arsenal departed with a mere £2 million and managed to produce an incredible run, falling narrowly short of winning the Premier League title.
And in more evidence that whipping out the big bucks doesn’t necessarily pay off, both Leeds and Southampton spent more than double this and still ended up tumbling down into the Championship.
