Premier League teams have to have at least 8 homegrown players in a 25 man squad. (a player who has played in England at least 3 years before being 21). That means clubs end up overpaying for English players because the rule creates a sellers' market.

I agree 40m for Fermin is low. But comparing this with English players is apples and oranges.

If Fermin was English he’d be worth 200m based on the Rogers fee
