1) David Bentley – £15m
Tottenham from Blackburn
Arsenal receive £7m
With the calibre of player in this list, it’s strange to see David Bentley right at the top. He earned Arsenal a whopping £7m when he joined North London rivals Tottenham however, making the switch back in 2008.
Other notable mentions:
Gareth Bale – £85m
Southampton were set to receive a massive 25% of any sell on fee for Bale, but they foolishly waived the sell on clause for a one time fee of £3m.
The would have received over £20m if they had have held their nerve.
Raheem Sterling – £50m?
Sterling has been heavily linked with a big money move to Manchester City recently, with the Citizens looking to bolster their home grown talent.
We signed him from QPR for just £500,000 in 2010, but the London club will also get 25% of any potential sell on fee.
That means if we sell him for the reported £50m, then QPR will get a whopping £12.5m.
